Greetings!

\frac{1}{2}x- \frac{5}{4}y
Factor -1/4. How? To factor a polynomial, you divide all the terms by the GCF (The Greatest Common Multiple.)  
=-1/4(\frac{1}{2}x/(-1/4)- \frac{5}{4}y/(-1/4))
Simplify.
=-1/4(\frac{1}{2}x*(-4/1)- \frac{5}{4}y*(-4/1))
=-1/4(\frac{-4}{2}x- \frac{-20}{4}y)
Reduce Fractions to simplest form.
=-1/4(-2x-(-5y))
The Factor Polynomial Is:
=-1/4(-2x+5y)

Hope this helps.

Eva is jumping on a trampoline. Her height h at time t can be modeled by the equation h=-16t^2+20t+6. Would Eva reach a height o
pickupchik [31]
Given the equation modeling Eva's height at time,t. To evaluate if she will reach height of 14 ft, we evaluate maximum height that she will reach.
At maximum height h'(t)=0
but
h(t)=-16t^2+20t+6
h'(t)=-32t+20=0
solving for t we get:
-32t=-20
t=20/32
t=5/8
thus the maximum height reached was:
h(5/8)=-16(5/8)^2+20(5/8)+6
h(5/8)=12.25 ft
Thus we conclude that she won't reach the height of 14 ft because her maximum height was 12.25 ft

7x + 2y = 11
enyata [817]

Answer:

x = 1, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 2y = 11 -----Equation 1

Equation 1 × 7:

49x + 14y = 77 -----Equation 2

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4x - 7y = -10 -----Equation 3

Equation 3 × 2:

8x - 14y = -20 -----Equation 4

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Equations 3 + 4:

49x + 14y + 8x - 14y = 77-20

49x + 8x = 77-20

57x = 57

x = 57 ÷ 57

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into Equation 1.

7x + 2y = 11

7(1) + 2y = 11

7 + 2y = 11

2y = 11-7

2y = 4

y = 4 ÷ 2

y = 2
