Question Help! Factor the trinomial completely. x squared + 2x -8

1 answer:

5 0

X^2 + 2x -8
The factors of 8 are 2 and 4, and to get 2x we need 2 and 4 to either add up to or subtract to result in 2.
4 - 2 = 2. We also know this is right because 4 x -2 = -8. So the answer is:
(x + 4)(x - 2)

PLEASE HELP PLEASE WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST !!!!! Freya is training for a track race. She starts by sprinting 200 yards. She gradual

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

A. $a_n=200+(n-1)5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The initial sprinting of Freya = 200 yards,

Also, She gradually increases her distance by 5 yards per day,

So, in second day her sprinting = 200 + 5 = 205 yards,

In third day = 205 + 5 = 210 yards,

In fourth day = 210 + 5 = 215 yards,

...................., so on,.....

Hence, the sequence that shows the given situation,

200, 205, 210, 215, .........

Which is an A.P.

That having first term, a = 200,

Common difference, d = 5,

Thus, the explicit formula for the given situation is,

$a_n=a+(n-1)d$

$\implies a_n=200+(n-1)5$

Option A is correct.

Answer:

B. Store T sells apples at the lowest rate

Step-by-step explanation:

Store R sells apples at $1.20 per pound.

Store S sells 4 pounds of apples at $5.00.

Store T sells 3 pounds of apples at $3.48.

To find the answer, you have to find the unit price for both Store S and Store T.

For Store S: 4 pounds = $5. Divide the cost by the pounds. This will give us $1.25 per pound.

For Store T: 3 pounds = $3.48. Same thing as Store S, divide the cost by the number of pounds. This will give us 1.16 per pound.

Now, we know the unit prices for each store. It's time to answer the question.

A. Store R sells apples at the lowest rate.

This is incorrect because the store that sells the apples at the lowest rate is Store T.

B. Store T sells the apples at the lowest rate.

This answer is correct, but I'll also take a look at the other two

C. Store S charges a lower rate for apples than Store T.

Again, this is incorrect because Store T sells apples at the lowest rate.

D. Store T charges the same rate for apples as Store R.

Nope, Store T sells the apples at a lower rate than Store R.

This means your answer will be B. Store T sells apples at the lowest rate.

<h2>I hope this helped you understand the question!</h2>
