Show work and Factor 4x^2+xy-18y^2

Answer:

4x^2+xy-18y^2=(4x+9y)\,(x-2y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's examine the following general product of two binomials with variables x and y in different terms:

(ax+by)\,(cx+dy)= ac\,x^2+adxy+bcxy+bdy^2

so we want the following to happen:

a\,c = 4\\ad+bc=1\\bd--18

Notice as well that ad+bc =1 means that those two products must differ in just one unit so, one of them has to be negative, or three of them negative. Given that the product bd=-18, then we can consider the case in which one of this  (b or d) is the negative factor. So let's then assume that a\,\,and \,\,c are positive.

We can then try combinations for  a\,\,and \,\,c  such as:

a = 4;\,\,c=1\\a=2;\,\,c=2\\a=1;\,\,c=4

Just by selecting the first one (a=4;\,\,c=1)

we get that 4d_b=1\\b=-4d-1

and since

bd=-18\\(-4d-1)\,d=-18\\-4d^2-d=-18\\4d^2+d-18=0

This quadratic equation give as one of its solutions the integer: d = -2, and consequently,

d=-18/(-2)\\d=9

Now we have a good combination of parameters to render the factoring form of the original trinomial:

a=4; \,\,b=9;\,\,c=1;\,\,d=-2

which makes our factorization:

(4x+9y)\,(x-2y)=4x^2+xy-18y^2

The vertex angle of an isosceles triangle measures 42°. A base angle in the triangle has a measure given by (2x + 3)°. What is t
larisa [96]

An isosceles triangle is one in which 2 angles have similar measure while the other one is different. In this case, the 2 vertex angles have a measure of 42 degrees, therefore the third angle which is equal to (2x + 3) is:

(2x + 3) + 42 + 42 = 180

2x + 3 = 96

A jacket costs 50$ at the store Evan has a coupon for 15$ off.Max pays only 0.6 of the price because his father works at the sto
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the jacket at the store is $50.

Evan has a coupon for 15$ off. This means that the amount that Evans will pay is the original price - 15% of the original price. It becomes

50 - (15/100 × 50) = 50 - 7.5 = $42.5

Max pays only 0.6 of the price because his father works at the store.

This means that the amount that Max will pay is 0.6 × the original price. It becomes

0.6 × 50 = $30

Max will pay the least amount because his amount is smaller
