Answer:

d. Mary should factor the expression to find the roots because the coefficient of x^{2} term is 1 so it is easily factored.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^{2} - 5x + 4 = 0

Factoring the above equation gives

(x - 4)(x - 1) = 0

Now, if either of the terms (x - 4) or (x - 1) is 0, the product is zero, so we can conclude that

(x - 4) = 0, therefore

x = 4

or

(x - 1) = 0, therefore

x = 1

Hence the the roots are x = 4 and x = 1

we  can check the root in the original equation by substitution to see if we are correct

when x =4

x^{2} - 5x + 4

(4)^{2} - 5(4) + 4 = 16 - 20 + 4 = 0

when x = 1

x^{2} - 5x + 4

(1)^{2} - 5(1) + 4 = 1 - 5 + 4 = 0

Answer:

The answer is c :" Mary should isolate the x term because she can then simplify the remaining expression to solve for x."

Step-by-step explanation:

From the equation as written below,

(x-4)(x-1)= 60

the first step is expansion of the bracket, thus we have,

x2-4x-x+4=3(2)60

which equals

x2-5x+4=3(2)60

then the next step should be to isolate x terms to be on one side of the equation while she continues solving for x,

x2-5x= 3(2)60-4

This is because in such simple equations, x could only be found if all terms of x are isolated in one side of the equation before continuing  other processes such as factorization,etc.

It introduces the relationship between two variables and is called correlation. Proportionality or variation is state of relationship or correlation between two variables It has two types: direct variation or proportion which states both variables are positively correlation. It is when both the variables increase or decrease together. On the contrary, indirect variation or proportion indicates negative relationship or correlation. Elaborately, the opposite of what happens to direct variation. One increases with the other variables, you got it, decreases. This correlations are important to consider because you can determine and identify how two variables relates with one another. Notice x = y (direct), y=1/x (indirect)

What is 13/205 turned into a decimal
nika2105 [10]

To write 13/205 as a decimal you have to divide numerator by the denominator of the fraction.  

We divide now 13 by 205 what we write down as 13/205 and we get 0.063414634146341  

And finally we have:  

13/205 as a decimal equals 0.063414634146341
