Answer:

x+2

5x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

There is only 2 binomials that will multiply together that will give the given trinomial.

ax^2+bx+c

5x^2+8x-4

Goal: Find two numbers that multiply to be a*c and add up to be b.

We will use this goal to factor our trinomial.

a=5

b=8

c=-4

--------

a*c=-20

b=8

Can you think of two numbers that multiply to be -20 and add up to be 8? I hope you said 10 and -2.

So we are going to replace 8x with -2x+10x.

5x^2+8x-4

5x^2-2x+10x-4

We are going to pair the first terms together and the second two terms together like so:

(5x^2-2x)+(10x-4)

Now we are going to factor each pair.

x(5x-2)+2(5x-2)

(5x-2)(x+2)

So (x+2) is a factor of the given trinomial and (5x-2) is a factor of the given trinomial.

The linear function graphed below represents the value of a comic book since Lucy purchased it. What was the value of the comic

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

C. $25

Step-by-step explanation:

We will find,

The slope of the function using $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$ .

Taking the points (1,40) and (2,55).

Slope = $\frac{55-40}{2-1}$

i.e. Slope = $\frac{15}{1}$

i.e. Slope = 15

Substituting the slope and point (1,40) in the equation $y=mx+b$ ,

We have, $40=15\times 1+b$

i.e. $b=40-15$

i.e. b= 25

Thus, the equation of the linear function is $y=15x+25$ .

This linear function represents the cost of the comic book since Lucy purchased it, where x= years.

So, the initial value of the comic book is when x= 0.

So, $y=15\times 0+25$ i.e. y= 25

Hence, the cost of the book when Lucy purchased it was $25.

Marvin has a coupon the discount is the rental of a full-size car by $25 they decide to buy insurance for each day if the cost i

ipn [44]

Answer: Marvin needs approximately 19 days to rent the car.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount Marvin get on a discount coupon = $25

She decided to buy insurance for each day.

Let the number of days be x

cost of insurance = $465

According to question, it becomes,

$25x=465\\\\x=\frac{465}{25}\\\\x=18.6\\\\x=19\ days$

Hence, Marvin needs approximately 19 days to rent the car.
