You don' need to grooup
what you do is
factor first term
2=1 times 2
(2x-)(x-)
they are both minus since middle term is negative
now factor other term and get the factors closest together
20=5 times 4

(2x-5)(x-4)
try it out
2x^2-5x-8x+20
2x^2-13x+20

faotred is
(2x-5)(x-4)

if you want to group you do

2 times 20=40
find what 2 numbers multiply to get 40 and add to get -13
numbers are -8 and -5
split it up
2x^2-8x-5x+20
group like factors
(2x^2-8x)+(-5x+20)
undistribute common factors
(2x)(x-4)+(-5)(x-4)
reverse distributive property ab+ac=a(b+c)
(2x-5)(x-4)

Find the equation of the line passing through the points A (2,1) B (7,9)
Bezzdna [24]
m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} = \frac{9 - 1}{7 - 2} = \frac{8}{5} = 1\frac{3}{5}
              y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
               y - 1 = 1³/₅(x - 2) Point - Slope Form
               y - 1 = 1³/₅(x) - 1³/₅(2)
               y - 1 = 1³/₅x - 3¹/₅
                 + 1           + 1
                    y = 1³/₅x - 2¹/₅ Slope - Intercept Form
         -1³/₅x - y = 1³/₅x - 1³/₅x - 2¹/₅
          -1³/₅x - y = -2¹/₅
     -1(-1³/₅x - y) = -1(-2¹/₅)
-1(-1³/₅x) + 1(y) = 2¹/₅
           1³/₅x - y = 2¹/₅ Standard Form
         1³/₅(0) - y = 2¹/₅
                0 - y = 2¹/₅
                    -y = 2¹/₅
                    -1    -1
                     y = -2¹/₅ Y - Intercept
               (x, y) = (0, -2¹/₅)

True [87]

Answer:

p(w) - - - - - - p = 0.5w ; for 0 < w ≤ 8

p(w) - - - - - - p = 4 ; for w < 8 and w ≤ 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Price, p of weight of a toughurt serving :

p(w) - - - - - - p = 0.5w ; for 0 < w ≤ 8

Dr. Oswald conducts a study examining the relationship between the number of friends one has and the experience of daily stress
Alina [70]

Answer:

I believe the answer is: These scores are more likely to have an effect because of the large sample size

In asking about satisfaction, the data could only come from the life experiences or personal principle of the individuals in the samples. Because of this, the scores would have relatively same effect regardless of the amount of sample size that the researchers use.

A cone that is sliced through the vertex would make the shape of a triangle.

You are told the h eight is 10 cm and the radius is 4 cm.

The radius would be half the base, so the base would be 4 * 2 =8 cm.

The area of the triangle is found by multiplying the base by the height, then dividing by two.

Area = 8 x 10 = 80

80 / 2 = 40 square centimeters.
