The values of X and Y are 30 and 11 respectively

<h3>How to determine the values of X and Y?</h3>

The figure that represents the complete question is added as an attachment

The given parameters are:

DH = X +3

HF = 3Y

GH = 2X -5

HE = 5Y

From the attached parallelogram, we have:

DH = HF

GH = HE

Substitute the known values in the above equation

X + 3 = 3Y

2X - 5 = 5Y

Make X the subject in X + 3 = 3Y

X = 3Y - 3

Substitute X = 3Y - 3 in 2X - 5 = 5Y

2(3Y - 3) - 5 = 5Y

Expand

6Y - 6 - 5 = 5Y

Evaluate the like terms

Y = 11

Substitute Y = 11 in X = 3Y - 3

X = 3*11 - 3

Evaluate

X = 30

Hence, the values of X and Y are 30 and 11 respectively

Factorize: Challenge problem:<br> x^2+19x+78<br> help :)

Trava [24]

Answer:

(x + 6)(x + 13)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 19x + 78

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 78) whuch sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 19)

The factors are + 6 and + 13 , since

6 ×13 = + 78 and 6 + 13 = + 19 , then

x² + 19x + 78 = (x + 6)(x + 13) ← in factored form

How can sums and differences of cubes be identified for factoring?

Ad libitum [116K]

The sum of cubes is given as:
a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²)

Example for the sum of cubes:

64x³+y³ ⇒ This is the sum of cubes because each term; 64, x³, and y³ are cube numbers

By writing each term as an expression of cube numbers, we have:
(4x)³ + (y)³ ⇒ 64 is 4³
Use the factorization of the sum of cubes, we have:
(4x + y) ( (4x)²- 4xy + y²)
(4x + y) (16x² - 4xy + y²)

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

The difference of cubes can be factorized as:
(x³ - y³) = (x - y)(x² + xy + y²)

Example
(125x³ - 8y³) = (5x - 2y) ((5x)² + (5x)(2y) + (2y)²)
= (5x - 2y) (25x² + 10xy + 4y²)
