(4x - y)/(2y + x) when x = 3 and y = 3 is
(4(3) - 3)/(2(3) + 3) = (12 - 3)/(6 + 3) = 9/9 = 1
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
Factoring <span> b2-4b+4</span>
The first term is, <span> <span>b2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -4b </span> its coefficient is <span> -4 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> +4 </span>
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> 1 • 4 = 4</span>
Step-2 : Find two factors of 4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is <span> -4 </span>.
<span><span> </span></span>
<span><span>-4 + -1 = -5</span><span> -2 + -2 = -4 That's it</span></span>
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -2 and -2
<span>b2 - 2b</span> - 2b - 4
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
b • (b-2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (b-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(b-2) • (b-2)
Which is the desired factorization
Answer:
8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let l and w be length and width, respectively. Then:
lw=144 and
l=w+10
So:
w(w+10)=144
w²+10w-144=0
(w+18)(w-8)=0
w=8 as the width ................
Answer: it would be the fourth one with the line going straight across the top
Step-by-step explanation: To use the vertical line test, take a ruler or other straight edge and draw a line parallel to the y-axis for any chosen value of x.
If the vertical line you drew intersects the graph more than once for any value of x then the graph is not the graph of a function.
You're given the y-intercept, which is (0,5), so to complete the slope intercept form, you now need to find the slope. slope is the change in y over the change in x, so take points (4,-1) and (2,2) for instance and apply the formula; -1-2= -3 and 4-2=2, so the change in y is -3 and the change in x is 2. to find the slope, you divide change in y by change in x, which is -3/2. from here, you can gather that the slope intercept form is y= -3/2x + 5
