Given trinomial 4x^2-6x-4.

In order to factor a trinomial, we need to factor out greatest common factor (GCF).

In the given trinomial, we have terms 4x^2, -6x, -4.

We can see that all terms can be divided by a greatest number 2.

Therefore, greatest common factor would be 2 there.

We need to factor out 2 first.

On factoring out 2, we get

2(2x^2 -3x -2).

Now, we need to factor out trinomial 2x^2 -3x -2 now.

We can factor a trinomial by applying product sum rule.

We have a=2,b=-3,c=-2.

ac= 2*-2 = -4 and b=-3.

So, we need to find the factors of -4 that add upto -3.

Factors of -4 would be -4 and 1.

Let us replace -3x by -4x +1x in 2x^2 -3x -2 trinomial

2x^2 -3x -2 could be rewrite as 2x^2 -4x +1x -2.

Making it into two groups and factoring out GCF of each group.

We get

(2x^2 -4x) +(1x - 2)

2x(x-2) +1(x-2)

=(x-2)(2x+1)

Therefore, final factors of the trinomial is 2(x-2)(2x+1).

So, Ann factored form 2(x-2)(2x+1) is correct.

Jen picked 3/4 of a gallon of strawberries in half an hour. If she keeps picking strawberries at the same rate, how many gallons
Ratling [72]
Hello!

3/4 = 0.75 as a decimal

We know that Jen picks 0.75 of a gallon of strawberries in half an hour, and now we want to find out how many gallons she'll pick in 2 hours.

Half an hour = 0.5 2 ÷ 0.5 = 4 There are four half hours in 2 hours.

0.75 × 4 = 3

ANSWER:

Jen will have picked 3 gallons of strawberries in 2 hours.

See attached questionthe last line is N (not visible line)
algol13

The figure has reflective symmetry about a line if that line divides the figure in two similar parts, which are reflections of one another.

Notice that the two figures formed when the shape is divided by line k are not similar, since one has 7 vertices and the other just 4.

Notice that the two figures formed when the shape is divided by line m are not similar, since one has 7 vertices and the other just 4.

The line l divides the figure in two shape, one is a trapezoid and the other isn't.

Only line n divides the figure in two similar shapes.

Therefore, the correct choice is B) n only.
