The factors of given expression are: -5 and 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

$4x^2+17x-15$

Making pairs for the mid-term 17x by factoring the product of co-efficient of 4x^2 and 15

$4x^2+20x-3x-15$

$= 4x(x+5) - 3(x+5)$

$=(4x-3)(x+5)$

Now

$4x-3 = 0\\4x = 3\\x = \frac{3}{4}$

$x+5 = 0\\x = -5$

Hence,

The factors of given expression are: -5 and 3/4

Find the area of the circle r=3 ft.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

28.27

Step-by-step explanation:

first you have to stablish the formula for the area of the circle, which is A=pi×radius square. Then, you have to substitute the variables and solve. the formula with the numbers plugged in would be A=3.14×3 square. Finally, solve by multiplying 3×3=9, so the formula would be 9×3.14, when multiplyed, your answer would be 28.27 if you round it.

Devante has a lunch account in the school cafeteria His starting balance at the beginning of the month is $35.50. The first wook

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

D the amount of money he pays for each lunch

Step-by-step explanation:

In each lunch Devante has, he pays 2,50 $ according to:

Money in t = t₀ he has 35,50 $ paid 3 lunches and spent

35,50 - 28 = 7,5

Then the cost of each lunch is 7,5 / 3 = 2,5 $

After that

bought 5 lunches and spent 28 - 15,5 = 12,50

Again 12,5 / 5 = 2,5 $

Now the model for the situation is a straight line with a slope 2,5

In an x , y cartesian system in which y is money in the account and x is the number of lunches, such a straight line will be

y = b - m*x ( b the intercept on y and m the negative slope)

y = 35,50 - 2,5*x

So answering the question is lyrics D the amount of money he pays for each lunch

Identify the type of slope and then find the slope of the line.

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

-1/2, negative slope

Step-by-step explanation:

As per graph it is visible that the slope is negative, it goes down when x-value increases

Use two points to find the slope:

(-4, -1) and (0, -3)

Slope formula:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Value of the slope:

m = (-3 - (-1))/(0 - (-4)) = -2/4 = -1/2
