5x² + 10x - 40

Let's go through all of the answers & simplify them, then see if they are correct.

A) 5(x - 4)(x + 2)

Simplify.

5x² - 10x - 40

So, A) is INCORRECT.

B) 5(x - 2)(x + 4)

Simplify.

5x² + 10x - 40

So, B) is the correct answer.

However, let's also check C just in case :)

C) 5(x - 4)(x - 2)

Simplify.

5x² - 30x + 40

Therefore C) is incorrect.

So, your correct answer is B) 5(x - 2)(x + 4)

A recipe that makes 8 servings calls for 3/5 cup of flour. Jeff modifies the recipe so that it can serve 10. How many cups of fl

Blababa [14]

8 goes with 3/5: 10 goes with n (n being the number of cups)

$\frac{8}{3/5} = \frac{10}{n}$

Use cross products and we get 8n = 6
Now divide by 8
8n = 6
8 8

n= 6/8 or 3/4 of a cup of flour.

2 If A= 4 3 find A1 using elementary row operations.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer: $A^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}\frac{3}{2}&-\frac{1}{2}\\-2&1\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&1\\4&3\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]$

$\dfrac{1}{2}Row\ 1\rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&\frac{1}{2}\\4&3\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}\frac{1}{2}&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]$

$Row\ 2 -4 \ Row\ 1\rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&\frac{1}{2}\\0&1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}\frac{1}{2}&0\\-2&1\end{array}\right]$

$Row\ 1-\dfrac{1}{2}\ Row\ 2 \rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}\frac{3}{2}&-\frac{1}{2}\\-2&1\end{array}\right]$
