Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Given;

$= 5 {x}^{2} + 17x + 6$

Solve it through mid-term factorization.

$= 5 {x}^{2} + (15 + 2)x + 6$

Simplify it.

$= 5 {x}^{2} + 15x + 2x + 6$

$= 5x(x + 3) + 2(x + 3)$

$= (5x + 2)(x + 3)$

Therefore the factors are; (5x+2) (x+3).

Hope it helps...

Here are two polygons on a grid. Is PQRST a scaled copy of ABCDE?

Bezzdna [24]

*see attachment showing the two polygons in a grid.

Answer:

No, PQRST is not a scale copy of ABCDE because we the sides are not increased proportionally.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polygon can be said to be a scaled copy of another polygon, if the the same scale factor is used in scaling every segment of the preimage or original image to get the length of the corresponding segments of the scale copy or image. In order words, all segments must be scaled proportionally.

Polygon PQRST, which is the new image, has different scale factors used in scaling the various segments of the preimage. In simple terms, the sides of PQRST were not increased proportionally. Therefore, PQRST is not a scaled copy of ABCDE.

A jet travels 4680 miles against the wind in eight hours and 5720 miles in the wind in the same amount of time what is the rate

Kryger [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

jet: 650 mph
wind: 65 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed against the wind is ...

4680 mi/(8 h) = 585 mi/h

The speed with the wind is ...

5720 mi/(8 h) = 715 mi/h

The speed of the airplane in still air is the average of these speeds:

(585 +715)/2 = 650 mi/h . . . speed in still air

The speed of the wind is the difference between the airplane speed and the speed in the wind:

715 -650 = 65 mi/h . . . speed of the wind

_____

Additional comment

If p and 'a' represent the speeds of the plane and the air, the speeds with and against the wind are ...

p + a = with

p - a = against

If we average these, we get ...

((p +a) +(p -a))/2 = (with + against)/2

p = (with + against)/2 . . . . . . . the formula we used above

What is the solution to the inequality?

Pavel [41]

The steps to solving an inequality are: add or subtract from each side - multiply or divide both sides - simplify.

5x + 8 > -12
5x > -12 - 8
5x > -20
x > -20/5
x > -4

The answer is: x > -4
