Answer:

-8x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the distributive property, distribute what is outside the parenthesis to each term in the parenthesis. When you do this, you multiply each term by what's outside the parenthesis.

-2(4x) + (-2)(5)

= -8x - 10

hope this helps :)

FACTOR EACH EXPRESSION, IF IT CANT BE FACTORED WRITE CANNOT BE FACTORED. 1. 4x+12

dimaraw [331]

1.) 4(x+3)
Find the GCF, Greatest Common Factor, of 4x and 12.
4x=2*2*x
12=3*2*2
The greatest common factor is 4. Put this outside of the parentheses. (You would multiply the 2*2)
Then, put the rest of the factors as a sum. (Only the factors on the same line.)
Solution: 4(x+3)

To check, distribute to see if it works.

4x+12

2.) 2(4r+7)
Find the GCF of 8r and 14
8r=2*2*2*r
14= -1*7*2
The greatest common factor is 2. (There is only 1 two, so you would not multiply them.)
Then, put the rest of the factors as a sum. (Only the factors on the same line.)
Multiply the 2*2*r as one addend and the -1*7 as the other.
Solution: 2(4r-7)

To check, distribute to see if it works.

8r-14

Do you get it now?

3.) 5(x+7)
4.) 7(2x+1)
5.) Cannot be factored.

32x-15
Find the GCF of 32x and -15

32x: 2*2*2*2*2*x
-15: -1*5*3

Because there are no similar factors other than 1, it cannot be factored.

6.) 8(4x+3)
7.) 3(2x-3)
8.) 24(1x+2)
9.) 9(-2x+8)
10.) Cannot be factored
11.) 8(1x+3)
12.) 50(1x+5)

PRE CALCULUS

Mumz [18]

Start with the parent function f(x) = x³

Notice the function f(x) = (x - 4)³ that a value '4' is subtracted from 'x' ⇒ This means the function f(x) is translated four units to the right.

Then the function f(x) = ¹/₂ (x - 4)³, the function (x - 4)³ is halved vertically ⇒ Half the y-coordinate

Then the function f(x) = ¹/₂ (x - 4)³ + 5 that a value '5' is added to ¹/₂ (x - 4)³ ⇒ This means the function f(x) is translated five units up

So the order of transformation that is happening to f(x) = x³ is translation four units to the right, half the y-coordinate, then translate 5 units up.
