Ac method
for y=ax^2+bx+c
the ac method is normally used for when a≠1
it is used as an aid to help factor

so


0=1x^2-8x+15
multiply a and c (1 times 15=15)
what 2 numbers mulitply to get 15 and add to get -8?
-3 and -5
split the middle up to that
0=1x^2-3x-5x+15
group
0=(x^2-3x)+(-5x+15)
undistribute
0=x(x-3)-5(x-3)
undistribute (x-3)
0=(x-5)(x-3)
set to zero
x-5=0
x=5

x-3=0
x=3

solutions are x= 3 and 5

How does anyone know the answer to this?

Take the common out of both numerator and denominator and cancel out the terms which are equal.

(8x³ - 2x² - 3x)/(12x²- 9x)

= x(8x² - 2x -3)/3x(4x - 3)

= (8x² - 2x -3)/3(4x - 3)

=(4x-3)(2x+1)/3(4x-3)

= (2x+1)/3

One positive number is 7 more than twice another. If their product is 1425, find the numbers.
postnew [5]

Answer:

25 and 57.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the lowest number be x then the other is 2x + 7, So:

x(2x + 7) = 1425

2x^2 + 7x - 1425 = 0

2 * - 1425 = -2850 = -2 * 3 * 5 * 5 * 19

We need 2 numbers whose product is -2850 and whose sum is + 7.

These are 3 * 19 = 57 and -2* 5 * 5 = -50 so we write:

2x^2 - 50x + 57x - 1425 = 0  Now we factor by grouping:

2x(x - 25) + 57( x - 25) = 0)

(2x + 57) ( x - 25) = 0

x = -57, 25.

We ignore the negative as we are given that the number is positive,

x = 25 is one number and the other is 2(25) + 7 = 57.
