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

What is the graph of linear inequality 2y>x-2
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Please refer to the attached graph for the graph of linear inequality:

2y>x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Method to draw graph of inequality:

<u>1. First of all replace the inequality sign with equality.</u>

Now the equation is:

2y=x-2

Now, find point and plot them.

Let us put x = 0, we get y = -1. So one point is <em>(0, -1)</em>

Let us put y = 0, we get x = 2. So one point is <em>(2,0)</em>

Now, plot both the point and join with straight line on xy coordinate axis.

2. Now, try to find a random point and put in the inequality.

If the point satisfies the inequality shade the region moving from the line towards that point.

For example:

Taking a point (4, 2)

Putting in the inequality:

8 > 2-2 \\8>0

So, (4, 2) satisfies the inequality.

Now, shade the region moving from the line towards the point (4,2).

We get the shaded region as shown in the attached figure in the answer area.

Determine if the rates $168 rasied for washing 24 cars and $280 rasied for washing 40 cars are equivalent
Mariana [72]

We are given : $168 raised for washing 24 cars and $280 raised for washing 40 cars.

We know the rate formula.

Rate = Total amount ÷ Total numbers.

Let us find value of each rate for  the given problem.

Rate 1: Total amount ÷ Total numbers = $168 ÷ 24 = $7.

Rate 2: Total amount ÷ Total numbers = $280 ÷ 40 = $7.

We can clearly see that Rate 1 is equal to Rate 2, that is $7.

So, we can say rates are equivalent.
