Factor the polynomial completetly 21b2-40b-21

Mathematics

ch4aika [34]4 years ago
3 0
First we note symmetry in the expression's coefficients.
We also note that 7*3=21, and 7+3=10.

From the rational roots theorem, we are tempted to try with 3 and 7 as coefficients of the factors.

Try
(7b+3)(3b+7)=21b^2+(49+9)b+21
By switching the sign of 3b+7 to 3b-7, we get the signs right, to check:
(7b+3)(3b-7)=21b^2+(9-49)b-21=21b^2-40b-21  ....right!

So
(7b+3)(3b-7)=21b^2-40b-21

Describe how an ordered pair represents a point on a coordinate plane. Include the terms x-coordinate, y-coordinate, and origin
Blababa [14]
When we look at an ordered pair, it will be presented as (x,y)

The first term, x  (called the x-coordinate), will tell us how far we should count outwards from 0 (The Origin). The second term, y (called the y-coordinate), will tell us how far we will count outwards from our x coordinate.

I hope this helps! If you would like me to elaborate more just let me know:)
