Factor the polynomial. 2x²+6x+4=

1 answer:

8 0

(2x+2)(x+2) Look there is a way most people don't know but I always use it. it's super easy once you learn it. So the equation is ax²+bx+c=0 b you have to think of two numbers whose sum is b and prod. is ac. So in this situation the sum is 6 and the prod. is 2×4=8 . Two numbers there sum is 6 and product is 8 are: 4 and 2 so we rewrite the equation 2x²+6x+4 delete the 6x and put the two numbers we found with an x like this : 2x²+4x+2x+4 then you take the first two together and the last two together like this : (2x²+4x)+(2x+4) you then factorise the two brackets take the common factor. 2x(x+2)+2(x+2) In any equation it's a must to find two similar brackets take them common and combine like this (x+2)(2x+2). and then it's done. I know it's a bit strange and hard but once you perfect it any polynomial is a piece of cake.

What is the solution set for this inequality?

Stels [109]

Answer:

x>-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x+32-16<0

-8x<16

divide both sides by -8

x>-2

that's because when you divide by a negative your inequality sign changes

Find the perimeter of an isosceles triangle ABC. Side AB=4, and the base BC=3. Angles B & C are both 70 degrees.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ∆ABC is isosceles, it means that at least two sides are congruent/equal in length.

Sides CA and AB are congruent, since BC is the base. So, CA = 4.

That means the perimeter is 4 + 4 + 3 = 11 un

The graph of the function f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c has vertex at (0, 2) and passes through the point

Ann [662]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use vertex form of a quadratic to solve this.

Consider the vertex to be $(h,k)$

Another way of representing a quadratic is in "vertex form":

$f(x) = a(x-h)^2+k$

Now all you have to do is solve for a. You know that the vertex is $(0,2)$ and you have know the point of $(1,8)$ . Now, all you have to do is plug in these values and solve for a.
