3x^2 - 10x + 8 = (x -2)(3x-4)

We shall use the method of splitting the middle term

To factorize

3x² - 10 x + 8

We need two numbers which add to give -10 and multiply to give 3 × 8 = 24

The numbers are -6 & -4

(-6)+(-4) = -10

(-6)(-4) = 24

So we shall split -10x as -6x - 4x

We get

3x² -10x + 8

= 3x² -6x -4x+8

Taking out 3x common from first two terms & -4 from the lest two terms we get

= 3x(x-2)-4(x-2)

Taking out (x-2) common we get

= (x-2)(3x-4)

3x² - 10x + 8 = (x-2)(3x-4)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

candy sold vs money earned

money earned = 2 dollars * number of bars sold- cost of bars

money earned = 2 b -20

this is an equation of a line

(y= 2x-20)

A.The relationship is linear true

B.The relationship is nonlinear false

C.The relationship is always results in a negative profit false

it crosses the x axis at 10 candy bars

D.The relationship always result in a positive profit false

it crosses the x axis at 10 candy bars

E.The relationship is proportional false

F.The relationship is non-proportional true it is a line that does not cross the origin

Identify the reason that justifies the statement.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

C; Substitution property

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the justification that justifies the written equation;

If PQ + RS = PS

and RS = XY

then PQ + XY = PS

What we simply did is to substitute RS for XY in the second equation;

The correct answer is Substitution property

It can be fully referred to as the substitution property of equality.

What it simply means in a nut shell is that since XY and RS are equal, then in any addition or arithmetic equation, we can make a substitution of XY for RS since they are equal to each other

If the parent function is <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7Bx%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="\sqrt{x}" alt="\sqrt{x}" ali

alexira [117]

Answer: One unit down from $\sqrt{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. By definition, a parent function is the simplest form of a function.

2. You van rewrite the parent function given in the problem above, as following:

$y=\sqrt{x}$

3. The subtraction of 1 from the parent function $y=\sqrt{x}-1$ means that the parent function is shifted 1 unit down, therefore, the translation of the parent function is one unit down from $\sqrt{x}$ .

Briana’s family spent $134 on 2 adult tickets and 3 youth tickets at an amusement park. Max’s family spent $146 on 3 adult ticke

kirill [66]

2x + 3y = $134
3x + 2y = $146

2y = 146 - 3x
y = 73 - 1.5x

2x + 3(73 - 1.5x) = 134
2x + 219 - 4.5 x = 134
-1.5x = - 85
x = $56

An adult ticket - $56

A youth ticket - 56 x 2 + 3y = 134
112 + 3y = 134
y = 7.3
$7.3
