What is the factored form of 2x2 + x-3?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vesnalui [34]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 2, b = 1, c = -3

We need to factor this by finding the product of a and c, then from there find which factors of a * c will either add or subtract to give us b.

a * c = 6  and the factors of 6 and 1 and 6, 2 and 3.  Well, 6 - 1 doesn't equal 1 and neither does 6 + 1.  So our factors are 3 and 2.  In order to combine those to get a 1 (our b), we will subtract 2 from 3 since 3 - 2 = 1.  That means that 3 is positive and 2 is negative.  Filling in the formula with 3 and 2 in place of 1 looks like this (always remember to put the absolute value of the largest number first):

2x^2+3x-2x-3=0

Group the first 2 terms together and the second 2 term together in order to factor:

(2x^2+3x)-(2x-3)=0 and factor out what's common in each set of parenthesis.

x(2x+3)-1(2x+3)=0

Notice that when we factor out a -1 from the second set of parenthesis, we can distribute it back in to get the equation we started with.  We know that factoring by grouping "works" if what is inside both sets of parenthesis is exactly the same.  Ours are identical: (2x + 3).  That is common now, and can be factored out:

(2x+3)(x-1)=0

That matches your first choice

I need major help pretty pls this so different

First put a bubble around 5x-7. Now you plug that into the problem. -3x-2
(5x-7)=12. now times the -2 by 5x which is -10x. and then times the -2 by -7 which is 14. so now you have -3x-10x+14=-12. add the -3x and -10x. -13x. Add the 14 over. -13x=2. Now dived by -13, which gives us x=-0.15

Now you take that a plug it into the -3x-2y=-12. So that it looks like this -3(-0.15)-2y=-12

Now times the -3 by -0.15 to give us 20 -2y=-12.   Now 'kill' the 20, so that it looks like this -2y=-32. Now you divide by -2 and get y=16. 

Now your ordered pair is (-0.15,16)

Jeremy's score was 1.75 standard deviations above the mean. which kf thr following is closest to his percentile rank
Gelneren [198K]
The answer is 96%.

Explanation:
It is generally presumed that the scores are normally distributed.

1) You are given how many standard deviations from the mean Jeremy's score is. This is exactly the definition of the z-score. Therefore z = 1.75

2) Look at a left-tail z-table in order to find the area of the normal curve on the left of your z-score (see picture attached). A = 0.9599

3) Multiply the area by 100 in order to find the percentile:
<span>0.9599 </span>× 100 = 95.99
Therefore, 95.99% of the students scored less than Jeremy.

Hence, the answer is 96%.
