Asap will mark factor x2 − 7x + 8. (x + 8)(x − 1) prime (x − 8)(x − 1) (x + 8)(x + 1)

Prime.

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's multiply our outer coefficients in this case 1 and 8, so we have 1x8=8.  Now the point of this is to get the factors of 8 and see if we can get that middle term -7.  Factors of 8 are 1x8, 2x4 and that's it.  From there I notice that -8+1 = -7 and so:

Notice that the (x-8) and (x+8) are not the same factors, therefore the factors are not any of those answer choices and so it's prime.  You can calculate the factors by using the quadratic formula, however I think that is beyond the scope of this question.

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
