we are given

trinomial as

$x^2 -x -12$

now, we can factor it

$x^2 -x -12= x^2 -4x +3x -4*3$

$x^2 -x -12= x(x -4) +3(x -4)$

$x^2 -x -12= (x-4)(x+3)$

so, option-C and D ..............Answer

0 = 4 + n/5 two step equations

Serjik [45]

Answer: n= -20?

Step-by-step:

Simplify both sides of the equation

1/5n+4=0

Then subtract 4 from both sides

1/5n + 4 - 4 = 0 - 4

1/5n= -4

Then multiply both sides by 5

5*(1/5n)=5*(-4)

Draw the image of the following segment after a dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of 2/3

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ends of the given segment are A and B.

Coordinates of A → (8, 6)

Coordinates of B → (12, 12)

If a point (x, y) is dilated by a scale factor 'k' about the origin, rule to be followed,

(x, y) → (kx, ky)

If k = $\frac{2}{3}$

(x, y) → $(\frac{2}{3}x, \frac{2}{3}y)$

By this rule coordinates of the image points of A and B will be,

A(8, 6) → $A'(\frac{2\times 8}{3},\frac{2\times 6}{3})$

→ A'(5.3, 4)

B(12, 12) → $B'(\frac{12\times 2}{3}, \frac{12\times 2}{3})$

→ B'(8, 8)

Now we can get the image of segment AB after dilation by a scale factor of $\frac{2}{3}$ .

A ferry departs from a port along the Sands River at 10:00 am. The ferry travels at a speed of 15 mph in still water and returns

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Speed of river's current = 5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'd' be the distance covered

Let x be the speed of the rivers current

Speed upstream = 15-x

speed downstream = 15+x

Time = distance / speed

time upstream = $\frac{d}{15-x}$

time downstream = $\frac{d}{15+x}$

the ferry trip upstream takes twice as long as its return trip downstream

$\frac{d}{15-x}$ = $\frac{2d}{15+x}$

divide both sides by d

$\frac{1}{15-x}$ = $\frac{2}{15+x}$

cross multiply

$15+x= 2(15-x)$

$15+x= 30-2x$

Add 2x on both sideds

$15+3x= 30$

subtract 15 from both sides and divide by 3

$3x=15$

x=5

Speed of river's current = 5 mph

How can estimation help me to find the area of a rectangle or square

IrinaK [193]

<span>First, I'm going to categorize the portions of the rectangle. The red portions are grid squares that are completely enclosed by the rectangle, the green portions are the corners and finally the blue regions are the edges.
