Factor the trinomial x^2+6x-16

Mathematics
1 answer:
vagabundo [1.1K]4 years ago
7 0
For quadratics with an a value (coefficient of x²) of 1, we find factors of c, the constant, that sum to b, the coefficient of x.  In our case we want factors of -16 that sum to 6.
-16 = -1(16) or 16(-1)
-16 = -2(8) or 8(-2)
-16 = -4(4) or 4(-4)

Out of these 6 possibilities, the only one that sums to 6 is 8(-2), because 8+(-2)=6.

This gives us the factors (x+8)(x-2).

3/8 of your income is spent on bills 2/5 dpent on food and clothes 1/10 goes on entertainment what is the fraction
Fantom [35]
If you are looking for the fraction of total income spent, the answer would be 7/8.

3/8, 2/5, 1/10
Make them similar fractions, use LCD (in this case, 40)

They become
15/40, 16/40, 4/40

Add
15/40 + 16/40 + 4/40

= 35/40, or, simplified, 7/8

A solar oven uses a parabolic reflector to focus the sun's rays at a point 5 inches from the vertex of the
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

y = \frac{x^2}{20}

The focus of the solar oven's reflector is (0,a)

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing figure( i.e diagram) from the question is attached below:

Now ; given that :

The focus of the sun's rays is at a point L = 5 inches away from the vertex of the reflector. Also the distance of the parabolic curve be a= L = 5

So the equation for a cross section of the oven's reflector with its focus on the

positive y axis and its vertex at the origin is expressed as:

x² = 4 L y

x² = 4 (5) y

x² = 20 y

y = \frac{x^2}{20}

The focus of the solar oven's reflector is (0,a)

Instructions:select all the correct locations on the tables. andrew wants to purchase a new television with a screen length that
DaniilM [7]

The <em>correct answers</em> are:


5x²+70x+245 ≥ 1050; and

Yes.


Explanation:


Let x be the width of the tablet. Since the width of the TV is 7 inches more than the tablet, the width of the TV would be x+7.


The length of the TV is 5 times the width; this makes the length 5(x+7) = 5x+35.


The area of the TV would be given by

(x+7)(5x+35).


Since Andrew wants the area to be at least 1050, we set the expression greater than or equal to 1050:

(x+7)(5x+35) ≥ 1050


Multiplying this, we have:

x*5x+x*35+7*5x+7*35 ≥ 1050

5x²+35x+35x+245 ≥ 1050


Combining like terms,

5x²+70x+245 ≥ 1050


To see if 8 is a reasonable width for the tablet, we substitute 8 for x:

5(8²)+70(8)+245 ≥ 1050

5(64)+560+245 ≥ 1050

320+560+245 ≥ 1050

1125 ≥ 1050


Since this inequality is true, 8 is a reasonable width.
