How to factor 2x^2+x-15

Mathematics
1 answer:
nekit [7.7K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

(2x - 5) • (x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   2 • -15 = -30


Step-2 : Find two factors of  -30  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   1 .


     -30    +    1    =    -29

     -15    +    2    =    -13

     -10    +    3    =    -7

     -6    +    5    =    -1

     -5    +    6    =    1    That's it


Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -5  and  6

                    2x2 - 5x + 6x - 15


Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   x • (2x-5)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   3 • (2x-5)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (x+3)  •  (2x-5)

            Which is the desired factorization


Final result :

 (2x - 5) • (x + 3)

4. In slope-intercept form, what is the equation of a line perpendicular toy - 2x + 7 that passes
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

y = (-1/2)x + 21/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

y - 2x + 7

Coordinates = (5,8)

Find:

Perpendicular equation

Computation:

y = mx + c

y - 2x + 7

y = 2x - 7

So,

m = 2

The negative reciprocal of 2 is -1/2

So,

For,

Coordinates = (5,8)

y = mx + c

8 = (-1/2)(5) + c

8 = -5/2 + c

c = 8 + 5/2

c = 21 /2

So,

y = mx + c

y = (-1/2)x + 21/2

Consider a series circuit consisting of a resistor of R ohms, an inductor of L henries, and variable voltage source of V(t) volt
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

I(t)=\frac{1}{3}(1-e^{-30t})

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

\frac{dI}{dt}+\frac{R}{L}I=\frac{V(t)}{L}

R=150 ohm

L=5 H

V(t)=10 V

P=\frac{R}{L}=\frac{150}{5}=30

I.F=e^{\int Pdt}=e^{\int 30 dt}=e^{30 t}

I(t)\times I.F=\int e^{30 t}\times 10 dt+C

I(t)\times e^{30 t}=\frac{10}{30}e^{30 t}+C

I(t)=\frac{1}{3}+Ce^{-30 t}

I(0)=0

Substitute t=0

0=\frac{1}{3}+C

C=-\frac{1}{3}

Substitute the values

I(t)=\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{3}e^{-30 t}

I(t)=\frac{1}{3}(1-e^{-30t})
