Answer 1

Answer:

(x + 3)(2x + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² + 6x + 5x + 15 ← grouping the terms

= (2x² + 6x) + (5x + 15) ← factor each group

= 2x(x + 3) + 5(x + 3) ← factor out (x + 3) from each term

= (x + 3)(2x + 5) ← in factored form

Answer:

D.(-4,-8) and(2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-2x

y=x²-8

this means that the two equations are equal because they both add up to y

thus; x²-8=-2x

formulae=Ax²+bx+c=0

x²+2x-8=0

find two numbers which multiplied will give you x² and when added will give you 2x that is x and x

x²+x+x-8=0

x(x+1)+1(x-8)=0

(x+1)(x-8)=0

1)x+1=0. x= -1

further explanation on answers

1)y=-2x

y=-2(-1)=2

y=2

2)y=x²-8

y=1²-8= -8

y= -8

note*this means that the answer should have both 2 and -8 thus d is the answer

The altitude of a triangle is 1cm shorter than the base. If the area of the triangle is 15cm2, calculate the altitude.

Answers

Answer:

5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We khow that the altitude of this triangle is 1cm shorter than the base

Let H be our altitude and B our base and A the area of the triangleA= (B*H)/2 ⇒ 15=(B*H)/2 H is 1cm shorter than B ⇒ B=H+1H*(H+1)/2=15 ⇒ H*(H+1)=30⇒ H²+H=30⇒H²+H-30+0

that's a quadratic equation . Let's calculate the dicriminant .

Let Δ be the dicriminant

a=1b=1c= -30 Δ=b²-4*a*c = 1²-4*1*(-30)=1+4*30=121≥0 Δ≥0⇔ that we have two solutions x and y x= (-1-[tex]\sqrt{121}[/tex])/2= (-1-11)/2= -6 y= (-1+[tex]\sqrt{121}[/tex])/2= 10/2 = 5

We have a negative value and a positive one

The altitude is a distance so it can't be negative

Give your answer in hours and minutes.​

Answers

Answer:

2:55. That's Two hours and 55 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation: From 8:20 to 11:20 would be three hours. But the actual time is five minutes less. There are 60 minutes in one hour. So change one hour to 60 minutes and subtract 5 minutes.

2:60 - :05 = 2:55

Answer:

2 hours and 55 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 11:15 and subtract 8:20

11 : 15

-8:20

------------

We need to borrow from the hours

11 becomes 10 and 1 hour = 60 minutes so add 60 to the 15

10 :75

-8:20

This is 2 hours and 55 minutes

Assume m<22=35. Find the measure of all of the other angles in the figure given line L and line P are parallel.

PLEASE HELP!!! ASAP!!!

(Picture included)

Answers

Answer:

m∠1 = 145°

m∠3 = 35°

m∠4 = 145°

m∠5 = 145°

m∠6 = 35°

m∠7 = 35°

m∠8 = 145°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture attached,

line 'm' and line 'l' are the parallel lines and another line intersects these lines is a transverse.

m∠2 = 35°

Since ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles,

m∠1 + m∠2 = 180°

m∠1 + 35° = 180°

m∠1 = 180° - 35°

m∠1 = 145°

∠1 ≅ ∠4 [Vertical angles]

m∠1 = m∠4 = 145°

∠2 ≅ ∠3 [Vertical angles]

m∠2 = m∠3 = 35°

∠3 ≅ ∠6 [Interior alternate angles]

m∠3 = m∠6 = 35°

Similarly, ∠4 ≅ ∠5 [Interior alternate angles]

m∠4 = m∠5 = 145°

∠6 ≅ ∠7 [Vertical angles]

m∠6 = m∠7 = 35°

Write the set { 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63 } in set builder form ​

Answers

Answer:

{ x : x = 2^n -1 , n ∈ N}

Where N is the set of natural numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, we can rewrite each term in the set as follows;

1 = 2^1 - 1

3 = 2^2 -1

7 = 2^3 -1

15 = 2^4-1

31 = 2^5-1

63 = 2^6 -1

so we can conclude that the nth term is 2^n -1

So writing this in set builder notation, we have;

{ x : x = 2^n -1 , n ∈ N}

Where N is the set of natural numbers

Answers

Answer: -8/-4

Step-by-step explanation:

When a negative integer gets divided my another negative integer, it results in a positive number. This means that we can eliminate all the negative symbols in this problem

18/9 = 2

Now all is left to determine which other expression is equivalent to 2

In the expression -10 / 5, since there is only one negative symbol, the postulate for negative number division states that two negative integers makes a positive number, and there is one negative integer and one positive whole number.

18/2 = 9 = incorrect

12/3 = 4 = incorrect

-10/5 = -2 = incorrect

8/4 = 2 = correct

So the expression -8/-4 is equivalent to the expression -18/-9

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Para resolver la situación, consideremos que x es la edad de la persona. Sabemos que dentro de seis años esta tendrá el doble de la edad que tenía hace cuatro años. La edad dentro de 6 años se puede expresar como x+6 y esto será igual al doble de la edad que tenía hace cuatro años, lo que se puede expresar como 2(x-4). De acuerdo a esto:

x+6=2(x-4)

x+6=2x-8

6+8=2x-x

x=14

Ahora que sabemos que la edad de la persona es 14 años, le sumamos 9 y esto da como resultado 23 y esta es la edad que la persona tendrá en 9 años.

Karen Gaines invested $12,000 in a money market account with an interest rate of 2.25% compounded semiannually. Six years later, Karen withdrew the full amount to put toward the down payment
on a new house. How much did Karen withdraw from the account?

(Round to the nearest cent as needed.)

Answers

Answer:

$13,724

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we are given the following values:

Principal = P = $12,000

Interest = r = 2.25% = 0.0225

Compounded semi annually = n = 2

Time (t) = 6 years

From the question, we understand that we are to find the total (full) Amount Karen withdrew.

The formula to use to calculate the Total Amount of money given that this is a compound interest question is:

Total(full) Amount = P( 1 + r/n) ^n/t

= $12,000( 1 + 0.0225/2) ^2×6

= $12,000(1.01125)^12

= $13724.093289

Approximately to the nearest cent

≈ $13,724

Therefore, Karen withdrew $13,724 from the account.

Answers

Answer:

A. -259

B. inverse function is 1/2 √(-x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find f(8)

Simply substitute x = 8 in the equation.

The equation is

f(x) = -4x^2 -3

So f(8) = -4(8)^2-3

f(8) = -256-3

f(8) = -259

Inverse of f(x) = -4x^2 -3

Simply equate this to m

m = -4x^2-3

-4x^2 = m + 3

x^2 = (m + 3)/-4

x^2 = -m/4 -3/4

x = √(-m-3)/4

x = 1/2√(-m-3)

Put back the value of x for m
