the factors of the term $a^2+4a-5$ are $(a-1)(a+5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find factors of the term: $a^2+4a-5$

For finding factors:

We need to break the middle term such that their product is equal to product of first and last term and their sum is equal to middle term

Breaking the middle term and finding factors:

$a^2+4a-5$

$=a^2+5a-a-5$

$=a(a+5)-1(a+5)$

$=(a-1)(a+5)$

So, the factors of the term $a^2+4a-5$ are $(a-1)(a+5)$

How do I do this please help

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

wrong as his calculation was incorrect at initial level itself when he found the result of the division

Step-by-step explanation:

Andre said

3 ÷ $\frac{2}{3}$

$=3 \times \frac{3}{2}$

$=\frac{3 \times 3}{2}$

$=\frac{9}{2}$

but andre calculated it as

$=4\tfrac{1}{3}$

$=\frac{4 \times 3 + 1}{3}$

$=\frac{13}{3}$

Hence his calculation was incorrect at initial level itself

Helpppppppppppppppppppppppp

alexdok [17]

First we rewrite the expression:
(4x ^ 3) * (2x) ^ - 4
Using properties of exponents we have:
(4x ^ 3) / (2x) ^ 4
Rewriting:
(4x ^ 3) / 16x ^ 4
(x ^ 3) / 4x ^ 4
(1) / (4x)
answer:
An equivalent expression is:
(1) / (4x)
option 1
