Answer:
(3 x + 2) (5 x - 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the following:
15 x^2 - 2 x - 8
Factor the quadratic 15 x^2 - 2 x - 8. The coefficient of x^2 is 15 and the constant term is -8. The product of 15 and -8 is -120. The factors of -120 which sum to -2 are 10 and -12. So 15 x^2 - 2 x - 8 = 15 x^2 - 12 x + 10 x - 8 = 5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2):
5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2)
Factor 3 x + 2 from 5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2):
Answer: (3 x + 2) (5 x - 4)
Yes they are both the same thing
knowing the answer is between 3 & 4 plug those as x and see what you get for answers than adjust the number accordingly
3^3+2(3) = 33 so its higher than 3
4^3 + 2(4) = 72 so it is lower than 4
try the middle so try 3.5
3.5^3 + 2(3.5) = 49.875
question states use 1 decimal place so now try 3.6
3.6^3+2(3.6) = 53.856
3.5 is closest

huh I don't get it plz explain
Answer:
D. p + q = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of AB is ...
mAB = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) = (1 -4)/(6 -p) = -3/(6 -p)
The slope of BC is ...
mBC = (q -1)/(9 -6) = (q -1)/3
We want the product of these slopes to be -1:
mAB·mBC = -1 = (-3/(6 -p))·((q -1)/3)
-(q-1)/(6 -p) = -1 . . . . cancel factors of 3
q -1 = 6 -p . . . . . multiply by -(6 -p)
q + p = 7 . . . . . matches choice D
