<h3>
Answer: (x+1)(x+3)</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
Let's assume it factors into (x+a)(x+b)
The goal is to find the two numbers a and b.
FOIL out (x+a)(x+b) to get x^2+(a+b)x+ab
Note how a+b is the middle term and ab is the last term.
In the original expression, 4 is the middle term and 3 is the last term.
So we need to find two numbers that
There are two ways to multiply to 3 and they are
- 1 times 3 = 3
- -1 times -3 = -3
But only the first way has the factors add to 4. So that means a = 1 and b = 3.
Therefore (x+a)(x+b) = (x+1)(x+3)
And x^2+4x+3 = (x+1)(x+3)
2.434 to 3 sigfigs = 2.43 .
Answer:
Every week, the radioactivity decreases by a factor of 5
After 1 week, it goes from 5,000 to 1,000
2 weeks 1,000 / 5 =200
3 weeks 200 / 5 = 40
4 weeks 40 / 5 = 8
5 weeks 8 / 5 = 1.6
6 weeks 1.6 / 5 = 0.064
7 weeks 0.064 / 5 = 0.0128
8 weeks .0128 / 5 = 0.00256
9 weeks 0.00256 / 5 = 0.000512
10 weeks 0.000512 / 5 = 0.0001024

Answer:
Runner-up: $15,000
Winner: $75,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create an equation for this problem.
Let x=the amount the runner-up receives
Let 5x=the amount the winner receives
Then,
x+5x=90,000
6x=90,000
x=15,000
5x=75,000
