How do you factor quadratics trinomials

Mathematics

Doss [256]3 years ago

You can factor trinomials by taking factors of the lead term (x^2) and using them in the front of a set of parenthesis. For instance, if you had 2x^2 as the first term, you would use (2x _____)(x______).

Now to find what goes at the end of the parenthesis, you take factors of the last number. Say our last number was -5, we could use -5 and 1 or 5 and -1. For the purpose of this, we'll use -5 and 1. This would give us (2x - 5)(x + 1).

Now, to be sure you've selected the right ones, you would multiply the two parenthesis together and see if the middle term matches the original equation.

(2x - 5)(x + 1)

2x^2 - 5x + 2x - 5

2x^2 - 3x - 5

So you'll notice that the middle term is -3. If this wasn't the original, you could try those numbers in a different order until you get the correct middle term.

Use distributive property to write an expression that is equivalent to each expression. -8(-x-3/4y+7/2
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

  8x +6y -28

Step-by-step explanation:

The outside factor applies to each inside term, so the equivalent expression is ...

  -8(-x -3/4y +7/2) = 8x +6y -28

Applying the distributive property once again, we can also write the equivalent expression ...

  = 2(4x +3y -14)

__

There are an infinite number of other equivalent expressions. The problem statement is non-specific as to the acceptable form.

Which correctly describes a cross section of the right rectangular prism if the base is a rectangle measuring 15 inches by 8 inc
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

A cross-section parallel to the base is a rectangle measuring 15 inches by 8 inches.

A cross-section perpendicular to the base through the midpoints of the 8-inch sides is a rectangle measuring 6 inches by 15 inches.

A cross-section not parallel to the base that passes through opposite 6-inch edges is a rectangle measuring 6 inches by greater than 15 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

the cross sections that are parallel and perpendicular will have the same measurements as the non-intersected sides. the last one will be a diagonal so the intersected edge is 6 and it creates a right triangle so it must be larger than 15 inches.
