Answer:

p = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

(x² + px - 3)(3x - 5)

each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x²(3x - 5) + px(3x - 5) - 3(3x - 5) ← distribute parenthesis

= 3x³ - 5x² + 3px² - 5px - 9x + 15 ← collect like terms

= 3x³ +x²(3p - 5) - x(5p + 9) + 15

given the coefficient of the x- term is - 44 , then

-(5p + 9) = - 44 ← - (5p + 9) is th coefficient of x in the expansion

- 5p - 9 = - 44 ( add 9 to both sides )

- 5p = - 35 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

p = 7

Question VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

  {x| x≤ 1/2 or x ≥ 3/4}

Step-by-step explanation:

The values of x that make the factors zero are 3/4 and 1/2. The product of these factors will be positive when both factors are negative (for x < 1/2) or when both factors are positive (x > 3/4). The matching answer selection is the third one.

Question 2 (1 point)
jonny [76]

Answer:

(2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1:

x+y=6(for the 6 times they scored)

x=-y+6

Equation 2:

7x+3y=26 (for the 7 point touchdowns, and 3 point field goals.)

7(-y+6)+3y=26(replace x with -y+6)

7y+42+3y=26(distrubite property)

-4y+42=26

-4y= -16

y= 4

Now that we know that y is equal to 4:

x+4=6

x=2

Expand and simplify : A) (x+7)(x+10). B) (X-3) (X-9)
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Using the foil method and distribution, you should get x²+10x+7x+70 from (X×X)+(X×10)+(X×7)+(7×10). When you combine these like terms, you get x²+17x+70.

B) Using the same ideology from part A, when you multiply x-3 into x-9. you should get x²-9x-3x+27. Simplifying this will give you x²-12x+27.
