Answer:
+15
Step-by-step explanation:
An increase is generally regarded as being positive. If units are dollars, an increase of $15 can be represented by the integer +15.
__
<em>Additional comment</em>
If units are dimes, then the number would be +150. So, you see, <em>the units are important </em>to know.
It also depends on <em>what is increasing</em> and what is being represented by the integer. If it is an increase in debt, then the change in net worth might be -15.
Answer:
Area = 60
Step-by-step explanation:
(h b)/2
h = 10
b = 12
12 x 10 = 120
120/2 = 60
(h = height and b = base)
Answer: 5 • (2x2 - 17x - 2)
———————————————————
x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
Step 2 :
10x2 - 85x - 10
Simplify ———————————————
x - 8
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
10x2 - 85x - 10 = 5 • (2x2 - 17x - 2)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring 2x2 - 17x - 2
The first term is, 2x2 its coefficient is 2 .
The middle term is, -17x its coefficient is -17 .
The last term, "the constant", is -2
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • -2 = -4
Step-2 : Find two factors of -4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -17 .
-4 + 1 = -3
-2 + 2 = 0
-1 + 4 = 3
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
The second one, and the two last should be the right answer,
Hope this helped:)
