Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you are factoring the expression

Given

4y² + 26y + 30 ← factor out 2 from each term

= 2(2y² + 13y + 15) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the y² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the y- term.

product = 2 × 15 = 30 and sum = 13

the factors are 10 and 3

Use these factors to split the y- term

2y² + 10y + 3y + 15 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 2y(y + 5) + 3(y + 5) ← factor out (y + 5) from each term

= (y + 5)(2y + 3)

Thus

4y² + 26y + 30

= 2(y + 5)(2y + 3)

Solve for x. Show your work.

puteri [66]

So, these are actually pretty simple once you learn the equality used to solve for "x" and when to implement this method. You can use this equality to solve for a segment "x" anytime that two secant lines cutting through a circle come from the same point outside the circle.

Secant: by geometric definition is just a straight line that cuts a curve into multiple pieces.

I did one of them for you hopefully you can use my work for "a" to help you solve for "b". For a. I got x=7.
