<h3>Answer: </h3>
The GCF is 4
The polynomial factors to 
==========================================================
Further explanation:
Ignore the x terms
We're looking for the GCF of 12, 4 and 20
Factor each to their prime factorization. It might help to do a factor tree, but this is optional.
- 12 = 2*2*3
- 4 = 2*2
- 20 = 2*2*5
Each factorization involves "2*2", which means 2*2 = 4 is the GCF here.
We can then factor like so
The distributive property pulls out that common 4. We can verify this by distributing the 4 back in, so we get the original expression back again.
The polynomial inside the parenthesis cannot be factored further. Proof of this can be found by looking at the roots and noticing that they aren't rational numbers (use the quadratic formula).
(-4,4) (2,1)
gradient = (1-4)/(2--4) = -1/2
y = mx + c
y = -1/2x + c
Replace point (2,1) in the equation
1=-1/2(2) +c
c = 2
Equation : y = -1/2x + 2
y-2 = -1/2x
Answer is C.
Hope it helped!
So if we want to know the common solution(s) to a system of 2 equations, So we can just set both equations equal to each other and solve for the x value(s). That’s where I start below;
2x^2-13x+21 = 2x^2+9x-56
2x^2 cancels out and moving everything to one side and anything with an x variable to the other side we have then;
-22x=-77
22x=77 by cancelling the negative signs
x=77/22 therefore x=7/2 or 3.5
Hope this helps you. Any questions please ask.
Answer:
an=1*2.5^(n-1)
=2.5^(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete question below:
What value, written as a decimal, should Lena use as the common ratio? Lena is asked to write an explicit formula for the graphed geometric sequence. On a coordinate plane, 3 points are plotted. The points are (1, 1), (2, 2.5), (3, 6.25).
Solution
Point (1, 1), (2, 2.5), (3, 6.25).
a=1
ar=2.5
ar^2=6.25
From ar and ar^2
r=6.25/2.5
=2.5
r=2.5
an=ar^(n-1)
Therefore, the explicit formula is
an=1*2.5^(n-1)
=2.5^(n-1)
