Answer:

3(x - 5)(x + 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2 - 12x - 15

Dividing through by 3:

= 3(x^2 - 4x - 5)

We need 2 numbers whose sum is -4 and whose product = -5. That is -5 and +1 , so the factors are:

3(x - 5)(x + 1).

A line that includes the point (-3,-4) and (-4,f ) has a slope of 6. What is the value of f?

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

f = -10

( -3, -4) ( - 4 , -10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for slope

m =( y_2 - y_1)/(x _2 - x _1)

m = 6

6 = (y_2 - y_1) / (x _2 - x_1)

Substitute the points

( -3 , -4) ( -4 , f)

x_1 = -3

y_1 = -4

x_2 = -4

y_2 = f

Insert the values into

6 = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)

6 = (f - (-4))/ ( -4 - (-3)

6 = ( f + 4)/ ( -4 + 3)

Cross multiply

6 ( -4 + 3) = f + 4

6 ( -1) = f + 4

-6 = f + 4

-6 - 4 = f

f = -6 - 4

f = -10

( -3 , -4) ( -3 , f)

The value of f is -10

( -3 , -4) ( -3 , -10)

Is the point (3, 4) a solution to the equation 3y = 2x +6 ? Explain why using evidence from your work

irinina [24]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

When graphing it you can see that (3, 4) is clearly a solution. The proper equation using slope intercept form is y= 2/3x + 2.

Haley makes earrings and packages them into cube boxes that measure 1/6 foot wide. how many 1/6 foot cubic boxes can she fit int

navik [9.2K]

Answer: $28\ cubes$

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube can be found with this formula:

$V_{(c)}=s^3$

Where "s" is the lenght of any edge of the cube.

The formula for calculate the volume of a rectangular prism is:

$V_{rp}=lwh$

Where "l" is the lenght, "w" is the width and "h" is the height.

We need to find the volume of a cube box:

$V_1=s^3=(\frac{1}{6}ft)^3=\frac{1}{216}ft^3$

To find the volume of the shipping box, first we must convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

$1\frac{1}{6}=\frac{(6*1)+1}{6}=\frac{7}{6}$

Then the volume of the shipping box is:

$V_2=lwh\\\\V_2=(\frac{7}{6}ft)(\frac{1}{3}ft)(\frac{1}{3}ft)=\frac{7}{54}ft^3$

Now, in order to find the number of cube boxes can Haley fits into a shipping box, you must divide the the volume of the shipping box by the volume of one cube. This is:

$\frac{\frac{7}{54}ft^3}{\frac{1}{216}ft^3}=28$
