Answer:

Option D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The original polynomial is:

–2x2 + 2 + 5x3 – 5x

Arranging in decreasing power of x:

$5x^3 - 2x^2 -5x+2$

Factoring the given polynomial by grouping:

$5x^3 - 2x^2 -5x+2\\=5x^3-5x- 2x^2+2\\=5x(x^2-1)-2(x^2-1)\\=(5x-2)(x^2-1)$

Now, (x^2-1) can be further solved using formula:

(a^2-b^2)=(a-b)(a+b)

Solving:

$=(5x-2)(x^2-1)\\=(5x-2)(x-1)(x+1)$

So, $(5x-2)(x-1)(x+1)$ represents the factors of $-2x2 + 2 + 5x3-5x$

Hence Option D is correct.

4x+5-2x=2(x+1) help me please

harina [27]

So I'm not 100% on this, but I believe that first you need to combine like terms. The 4x and the -2x make 2x and distribute the 2 so you get 2x+1. That all equals 2x+5=2x+2. You need to get the variable by themselves so I will minus the 2. You then get 2x+3=2x. You then need to minus the 2x, which makes 0. So the answer is 3=0, or undefined. Is that about what you guys are working on? Have you learned about undefined?

Solve for x in the equation 9- x/4=2

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

9-x/4=2

$\frac{36 - x}{4} = 2$

$36 - x = 2 \times 4$

$36 - x = 8$

$36 - 8 = x$

$28 = x$

$x = 28$

Answer:

The height on the map is of 12 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale of 1 inch:300 meters

This means that each inch on the map represents 300 meters of real height.

If the actual height of one of those mountains is 3,600 meters, what is its height on the map?

Using proportions, by a rule of three:

1 inch - 300 meters

x inches - 3600 meters

Applying cross multiplication:

$300x = 3600$

$x = \frac{3600}{300}$

$x = 12$

The height on the map is of 12 inches.

Can anyone help me ?

Over [174]

Hi! So, here’s what I know. Every triangle will equal to 180*. So to check if that triangles is 180 we add all angles and it should add up to 180*.

Now the question is, Why it shows that the angles of a triangle equal to 180* when added up?

Note that we see all angles lie on a straight line, therefore we know that when we add angles that lie on a straight line it will equal to 180*, they will also meet at the same point.

This is all I can help with. Hope it helped something!!! Have a great day!
