Question 9
1 pts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

x² - 2x - 3 = 0

x² - (3x - x) - 3 = 0

x² - 3x + x - 3 = 0

x(x - 3) + 1(x - 3) = 0

(x - 3)(x + 1) = 0

x = 3 & -1

Now,

a and b are integers

So

a = 3 & b = -1 or

a = -1 & b = 3

a = 3 , b = -1          or            a = -1 , b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 2x - 3 = 0

x² - 3x + 1x - 3 = 0

x ( x - 3 ) +1 ( x - 3 ) = 0

( x - 3 ) ( x + 1 ) = 0

So,

x - 3 = 0                   or                x + 1 = 0

x = 0 + 3                                      x = 0 - 1

x = 3                                            x = -1

Therefore,

( x - a) ( x - b )

As a and b are integers

It can be,

a = 3 , b = -1          or            a = -1 , b = 3

Hope this helps you.

Let me know if you have any other questions :-)

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
