Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3/4 and -3/4
or
0.75 and -0.75
but there is no solution for
10 times the smaller number added to 6 times the larger number to get 3 as result.
the absolute values of x and y must be equal and with opposite signs (due to their sum being 0).
therefore, 10 times the negative value can never be compensated by 6 times the same but positive value. the sum will always be negative and not positive (and therefore not +3).
it only works with 10 times the larger (positive) number plus 6 times the smaller (negative) value.
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 0
10×x + 6×y = 3
=>
x = -y
10×(-y) + 6×y = 3
-10y + 6y = 3
-4y = 3
y = -3/4
=>
x = -y = -(-3/4) = 3/4
control :
10×(3/4) + 6×(-3/4) = 30/4 - 18/4 = 3
12/4 = 3
3 = 3
correct
The correct factorization would be (5x - 4)(25x^2 + 20x + 16).
The law of factoring cubes states that we use the following formula when we have two cubes being subtracted by one another.
(a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2)
If we take the cube root of 125x^3 we get 5x, which will be our a value. If we take the cube root of 64, we get 4, which will be our b value. Then we plug in to the formula.
(5x - 4)((5x)^2 + (5x)(4) + 4^2)
(5x - 4)(25x^2 + 20x + 16)
I think the problem with your second answer is that you just did not properly multiply the 5x and the 4 to get 20x (instead you got 15x).
Here's a picture to explain it better.
