What is the expression in factored form? -20x^2 - 12x

Mathematics
1 answer:
artcher [175]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

-4x(5x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

-20x^2 - 12x

-20x^2 = -4*5*x*x = -2*2*5*x*x

-12x = -4*3*x = -2*2*3*x

The common terms are -2*2*x = -4x.  Whats left goes inside the parentheses

-4x(5x-3)

If the solution to y=4x+3 is (4,16) what would the steps needed to get (4,16) be?
Ainat [17]
<span>Simplifying x4 = 16
 Solving x4 = 16
 Solving for variable 'x'.
  Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Simplifying x4 = 16
 Reorder the terms: -16 + x4 = 16 + -16
 Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0 -16 + x4 = 0
 Factor a difference between two squares. (4 + x2)(-4 + x2) = 0
 Factor a difference between two squares. (4 + x2)((2 + x)(-2 + x)) = 0
Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(4 + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
 Simplifying 4 + x2 = 0 Solving 4 + x2 = 0
 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
 Add '-4' to each side of the equation. 4 + -4 + x2 = 0 + -4
 Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0 0 + x2 = 0 + -4 x2 = 0 + -4
 Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4 x2 = -4
 Simplifying x2 = -4
The solution to this equation could not be determined.
 This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(2 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
 Simplifying 2 + x = 0 Solving 2 + x = 0
 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
 Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + -2 + x = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + x = 0 + -2 x = 0 + -2
 Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2 x = -2 Simplifying x = -2

Sub-problem 3

Set the factor '(-2 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
 Simplifying -2 + x = 0 Solving -2 + x = 0
 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
 Add '2' to each side of the equation. -2 + 2 + x = 0 + 2
 Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0 0 + x = 0 + 2 x = 0 + 2
 Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2 x = 2 Simplifying x = 2Solutionx = {-2, 2}</span>

The sum of a whole number and twice the square of the number is 10. Find the number.
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

x = \frac{10}{1 + 2x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

x + 2x² = 10

Factorize x + 2x²

x(1 + 2x) = 10

Divide both sides by (1 + 2x)

x = \frac{10}{1 + 2x}

kykrilka [37]

Answer: 0.41

Step-by-step explanation: 0.59 is 59%. To find the percentage of chance that it will not rain, you subtract 1 (which is 100%) minus 0.59. You get an answer of 0.41 (or 41% if you prefer.)
