Answer:
(5 x + 2) (x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the following:
5 x^2 + 10 x + 2 x + 4
10 x + 2 x = 12 x:
5 x^2 + 12 x + 4
Factor the quadratic 5 x^2 + 12 x + 4. The coefficient of x^2 is 5 and the constant term is 4. The product of 5 and 4 is 20. The factors of 20 which sum to 12 are 2 and 10. So 5 x^2 + 12 x + 4 = 5 x^2 + 10 x + 2 x + 4 = 2 (5 x + 2) + x (5 x + 2):
2 (5 x + 2) + x (5 x + 2)
Factor 5 x + 2 from 2 (5 x + 2) + x (5 x + 2):
Answer: (5 x + 2) (x + 2)
I think the definition of your sequence is u(n) = 3n - 2 .
That little set of parentheses makes it SO much
easier to read and understand.
To find u(any number) just write the number in place of 'n' .
u(27) = 3(27) - 2
= 81 - 2
= 79 .
To solve this problem, plugin 145 where the y is located and then solve for x
y = -27x +577
145 = -27x +577
145 -577 = -27x
-432 = -27x
-432/-27 = -27x/-27
16 = x
x = 16
After 16 weeks she will have $145 dollars in her account.
D. When you do the math, the results to everything should be t=9. D is the only outlier. Therefore, D is the answer in this case.
