How do I solve this quadratic equation by factoring ?

I'd suggest you get rid of the fraction first.  Mult. every term by 3.  You will get

3y^2 + 10y + 3 = 0

From inspection, with coefficient a=3 and coeff. c = 3, the binomial factors could possibly begin with y or 3y:  for example, y+1; also, the binom. factors may end in +1.    Let's try the possible binomial factor 3y + 1.

Note that 10y separates into 9y+1y.

Then 3y^2 +    10y     +     3  = 0 becomes
         3y^2   + 9y + 1y  +  3  =  0

Let's apply factoring by grouping:

        3y^2 + 9y + 1y + 3 = 0
        3y*(y + 3) + 1(y + 3)    so y+3 is indeed a common factor.

Factoring y+3 out, we get (y+3)(3y + 1), which prove to be the correct set of factors.  Multiply these together to ensure that the product is indeed y^2 + (10/3)y + 1.

Solve this equation with steps so I understand<br> -16x^3+4x=0
antoniya [11.8K]
<span>-16x^3+4x=0
-4x(4x^2 - 1) = 0
-4x(2x+1)(2x - 1) = 0 (factor using a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b))

-4x = 0; x =0
2x +1 = 0;x = -1/2
2x - 1 =0; x = 1/2

answer: x = 0, x = 1/2 and x = -1/2</span>

Tania has 56 liters of milk. She uses the milk to make muffins and cakes. Each batch of muffin requires 7 liters of milk and eac
mihalych1998 [28]
Write the inequalities that are given by the :

<span>x: the number of batches of muffins

y: the number of batches of cakes

</span>Each batch of muffin requires 7 liters of milk and each batch of cakes require 4 liters of milk.

=> liters of milk use = 7x  + 4y

<span>Tania has 56 liters of milk.=> 7x + 4y ≤ 56

Which means that the amount of muffins and cakes made are limited by the availability of 56 liter of milk.

The inequality 7x + 4y ≤ 56 is graphed by drawing the line 7x + 4y = 56 and shading the region below that line.

The line 7x + 4y = 56 has these x and y intercepts:

y-intercept: x =0 => 4y = 56 => y = 56/4 => 14 => point (0,14)

x-intercept => y = 0 => 7x = 56 => x = 56/7= 8  => point (8,0)

So, the line passes through the poins (0,8) and (14,0) and the solution region is below that line.

Also, you know that x and y are restricted to be positive or zero =>

x ≥ 0

y ≥ 0.

So, the solution region is restricted to the first quadrant.

That implies that the answer is:

Line joining ordered pairs 0, 14 and 8, 0. Shade the portion of the graph below this line which lies within the first quadrant
