Answer:

(x + 4)(2x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 2x² + 5x - 12

Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 2 × -12 = - 24 and sum = + 5

The factors are + 8 and - 3

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² + 8x - 3x - 12 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x + 4) - 3(x + 4) ← factor out (x + 4) from each term

(x + 4)(2x - 3)

Thus

f(x) = 2x² + 5x - 12 = (x + 4)(2x - 3) ← in factored form

Write an equation that is parallel to the line x + 3y = 2 and passes through the point (1, 0).
Nady [450]

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

x+3y=2

3y = 2 - x

y = 2/3 - 1/3x

y = -1/3x +2/3

the slope is -1/3 and the equation that is parallel will have the same slope also

y = mx + b

y = -1/3x + b

0 = -1/3(1) + b

0 = -1/3 + b

1/3 = b

y = -1/3x + 1/3

Oman said that it is impossible to raise a number to the power of 2 and get a value less than the original number.Do you agree w
disa [49]
That’s false, if you raise a number that’s less than 1 to the second power, you’d get a lesser number.
For example, if you raise 1/2 to the second power, you’d get 1/4
