Factor the trinomial. You many need to check the discriminant to make sure it can be factored. SHOW YOUR WORK.

Check the discriminant (always a good idea).

b^2 - 4ac 
b = -19
c = -15
a = 10

(-19)^2 - 4(10)(-15)
361 + 600
961

Yes it can be factored, but if you like, you could use the quadratic formula.
x = [- (-19) +/- sqrt(961)]/(2 * 10)
x = [19 +/- 31 ] / 20
x = (19 + 31/20
x = (50)/20
x = 5/2

x = [19 - 31] / 20
x = [- 12]/20
x = -3/5

Getting the factors is a little tricky.
(x - 5/2)(x + 3/5) = 0
The first factor is found by putting 
x - 5/2 in that form and multiplying through by 2
1/2 (2x - 5) The 1/2 comes from multiplying by 2. 

The second factor is
1/5 (5x + 3)

So the equation will look like 
1/2(2x - 5)1/5(5x + 3) = 0 If you multiply by 2 you get
(2x - 5)1/5(5x + 3) = 0 and now multiply by 5 you get
(2x - 5) (5x + 3) 

Check
2x*5x - 25x + 6x - 15
10x^2 - 19x - 15 = 0

So everything works out.

Hello I am in a math 95 class. my names drew and I was looking at a problem having to do with exponential equations .
kaheart [24]
If it's an exponential model, then we have the original value (1.32 million, or t=0) times something (we can call this y) to the power of another something (we can call it x) equals 2008. Since 2008-2006=2, it may be wise to separate it into 2 year increments. Therefore, if 1.32*(y^x)=1.7, then we can write y as the change every 2 years (in terms of the ratio, or 1.7/1.32 due to that 1.32*1/7/1.32=1.7 since 2 years is the first increment and x is therefore 1) and x as the number of 2 year differences). Since y=1.7/1.32 and 2024-2006=18 (to get it into 2 year increments, we have 18/2=9), we have 1.32*((1.7/1.32)^9)=around <span>12.87 million people</span>

8 (3x - 1) = 2 (9 – 7x)
Leto [7]

Answer:

8 (3x - 1) = 2 (9 – 7x)

24x - 8 = 18 - 14x

24x + 14x - 8 = 18 -14x + 14x

38x - 8 = 18

38x - 8 + 8 = 18 + 8

38x = 26

38x / 38 = 26 / 38

x = 13/19  

Step-by-step explanation:

1. distribute both sides

2. add 14x to both sides

3. add 8 to both sides

4. divide both sides by 38 to get x
