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

Mathematics

grigory [225]3 years ago

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

Select all of the following that are quadratic equations.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

1. x² + 3x - 5 = 0

2. x² - x = 3 x + 7

4. 7x² + 14x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

A Quadratic equation takes the form;

ax² + bx + c = 0

a, b, c are constants and a cannot be 0.

Options 1 fits this;

x² + 3x - 5 = 0

Option 2 fits this as well;

x² - x = 3 x + 7  

x² -x - 3x - 7 = 0

x² - 4x - 7 = 0

Option 4 fits this as well if c = 0.

7x² + 14x + 0 = 0

The diameter of the base of the cone measures 8 units.
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:   32\pi cubic units.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use this formula for calculate the volume of a cone:

V_{cone}=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

Where "r" is the radius and "h" is the height.

You know that the diameter of the base of the cone measures 8 units, then, the radius can be found by dividing the diameter by 2:

r=\frac{8units}{2}\\\\r=4units

Since you already know that height and  the radius, you can substitute them into the formula. Then, the volume of this cone is:

V_{cone}=\frac{1}{3}\pi (4units)^2(6units)

V_{cone}=32\pi \ units^3

7 less than-2 times x is greater than or equal to 41
umka21 [38]

Written out that's 2x-7 is greater than or equal to 41. Add 7 to both sides to get 2x is greater than or equal to 48. Divide both sides by 2 to get that x is greater than or equal to 24.
