Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

10×-28=-280

35-8=27

35×(-8)=-280

10x²+27x-28

=10x²+(35-8) x-28

=10x²+35x-8x-28

=5x(2x+7)-4(2x+7)

=(2x+7)(5x-4)

<h3>Answer: C) 2x+7</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

One way we can factor is through use the of the quadratic formula.

Let $10x^2+27x-28 = 0$

For now, the goal is to find the two roots of that equation.

Plug a = 10, b = 27, c = -28 into the quadratic formula

$x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(27)\pm\sqrt{(27)^2-4(10)(-28)}}{2(10)}\\\\x = \frac{-27\pm\sqrt{1849}}{20}\\\\x = \frac{-27\pm43}{20}\\\\x = \frac{-27+43}{20} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-27-43}{20}\\\\x = \frac{16}{20} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-70}{20}\\\\x = \frac{4}{5} \ \text{ or } \ x = -\frac{7}{2}\\\\$

The two roots are x = 4/5 and x = -7/2

For each root, rearrange the equation so we have 0 on the right hand side, and it's ideal to get rid of the fractions

x = 4/5

5x = 4

5x-4 = 0 gives us one factor

and

x = -7/2

2x = -7

2x+7 = 0 gives the other factor

The two factors are 5x-4 and 2x+7

Note how (5x-4)(2x+7) = 0 leads to the two separate equations of 5x-4 = 0 and 2x+7 = 0 due to the zero product property. Solving each individual equation leads to the two roots we found earlier.

Alternative methods to solve this problem are the AC factoring method (which leads to factor by grouping), using the box method, or you could use guess and check.

Point B has coordinates (4,1). The x-coordinate of point A is -4. The distance between point A and point B is 10 units. What a

klasskru [66]

Given:

Point B has coordinates (4,1).

The x-coordinate of point A is -4.

The distance between point A and point B is 10 units.

To find:

The possible coordinates of point A.

Solution:

Let the y-coordinate of point A be y. Then the two points are A(-4,y) and B(4,1).

Distance formula:

$D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

The distance between point A and point B is 10 units.

$\sqrt{(4-(-4))^2+(1-y)^2}=10$

Taking square on both sides, we get

$(8)^2+(1-y)^2=100$

$(1-y)^2=100-64$

$(1-y)^2=36$

Taking square root on both sides, we get

$(1-y)=\pm \sqrt{36}$

$-y=\pm 6-1$

$y=1\mp 6$

$y=1-6$ and $y=1+6$

$y=-5$ and $y=7$

Therefore, the possible coordinates of point A are either (-4,-5) or (-4,7).

Find the center that eliminates the linear terms in the translation of 4x^2 - y^2 + 24x + 4y + 28 = 0.(-3, 2)(-3,- 2)(4, 0)

baherus [9]

Step 1

Given;

$4x^2-y^2+24x+4y+28=0$

Required; To find the center that eliminates the linear terms

Step 2

$\begin{gathered} 4x^2-y^2+24x+4y=-28 \\ 4x^2+24x-y^2+4y=-28 \\ Complete\text{ the square }; \\ 4x^2+24x \\ \text{use the form ax}^2+bx\text{ +c} \\ \text{where} \\ a=4 \\ b=24 \\ c=0 \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} consider\text{ the vertex }form\text{ of a }parabola \\ a(x+d)^2+e \\ d=\frac{b}{2a} \\ d=\frac{24}{2\times4} \\ d=\frac{24}{8} \\ d=3 \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} Find\text{ the value of e using }e=c-\frac{b^2}{4a} \\ e=0-\frac{24^2}{4\times4} \\ e=0-\frac{576}{16}=-36 \end{gathered}$

Step 3

Substitute a,d,e into the vertex form

$\begin{gathered} a(x+d)^2+e \\ 4(x+_{}3)^2-36 \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} 4(x+3)^2-36-y^2+4y=-28 \\ 4(x+3)^2-y^2+4y=\text{ -28+36} \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

Step 4

Completing the square for -y²+4y

$\begin{gathered} \text{use the form ax}^2+bx\text{ +c} \\ \text{where} \\ a=-1 \\ b=4 \\ c=0 \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} consider\text{ the vertex }form\text{ of a }parabola \\ a(x+d)^2+e \\ d=\frac{b}{2a} \\ d=\text{ }\frac{4}{2\times-1} \\ d=\frac{4}{-2} \\ d=-2 \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} Find\text{ the value of e using }e=c-\frac{b^2}{4a} \\ e=0-\frac{4^2}{4\times(-1)} \\ \\ e=0-\frac{16}{-4} \\ e=4 \end{gathered}$

Step 5

Substitute a,d,e into the vertex form

$\begin{gathered} a(y+d)^2+e \\ =-1(y+(-2))^2+4 \\ =-(y-2)^2+4 \end{gathered}$

Step 6

$\begin{gathered} 4(x+3)^2-y^2+4y=\text{ -28+36} \\ 4(x+3)^2-(y-2)^2+4=-28+36 \\ 4(x+3)^2-(y-2)^2=-28+36-4 \\ 4(x+3)^2-(y-2)^2=4 \\ \frac{4(x+3)^2}{4}-\frac{(y-2)^2}{4}=\frac{4}{4} \\ (x+3)^2-\frac{(y-2)^2}{2^2}=1 \end{gathered}$

Step 7

$\begin{gathered} \frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1 \\ \text{This is the }form\text{ of a hyperbola.} \\ \text{From here } \\ a=1 \\ b=2 \\ k=2 \\ h=-3 \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is (-3,2)

What is the slope-intercept form of an equation with a slope of -1 and a y-intercept of -7

oksian1 [2.3K]

Okay! Slope intercept form is the most common form, being...

y = mx + b

m will be the slope and b will be the y-intercept. So the answer is...

y = -x - 7
