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.

Jackson is starting an exercise program. The first day he will spend 30 minutes on the treadmill. He will increase his time on t
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

40 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • time spent on the thread mill as a function of d(day) = t(d)

= 30 +2(d-1) minutes

[where d represents day number]

(when d is 1 the time spent should be 30

so substitute d=1 and check it will be 30 only.

on first day he will spend 30 minutes so, I added 30 .

and on every additional day( these additional days are excluding first day), he will increase the time by 2 minutes.so, I added 2(d-1) to initial 30 minutes)

  • so, T(6), the minutes he will spend on the treadmill on day 6=

=30+2(6-1)

=30+2(5)

=30+10

=40 minutes

A surgical procedure requires choosing among four alternative methodologies. The first can result in five possible outcomes, the
Illusion [34]

Answer:

15 possible outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each one of these methodologies are not related to one another and they do not need to be chosen in any order or consecutively then the possible outcomes would only need to be added all together to calculate the total possible outcomes. Since each outcome is independent. Therefore,

m1 = 5 outcomes

m2 = 2 outcomes

m3 = 4 outcomes

m4 = 4 outcomes

5 + 2 + 4 + 4 = 15

we can see that there are a total of 15 possible outcomes
