Answer:

(-x - 3) • (x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

           2

Simplify   —

           1

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 ((((x2)+3x)-(2•x2))-5x)+3

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

 ((((x2) +  3x) -  2x2) -  5x) +  3

Step  3  :

Step  4  :

Pulling out like terms :

4.1     Pull out like factors :

  -x2 - 2x + 3  =   -1 • (x2 + 2x - 3)

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

4.2     Factoring  x2 + 2x - 3

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  +2x  its coefficient is  2 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -3

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • -3 = -3

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -3  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   2 .

     -3    +    1    =    -2

     -1    +    3    =    2    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -1  and  3

                    x2 - 1x + 3x - 3

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   x • (x-1)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   3 • (x-1)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (x+3)  •  (x-1)

            Which is the desired factorization

Final result :

 (-x - 3) • (x - 1)

Answer:

-x2 - 8x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

((((x2)-3x)-(2•x2))-5x)-3

((((x2) -  3x) -  2x2) -  5x) -  3

Pull out like factors :

-x2 - 8x - 3  =   -1 • (x2 + 8x + 3)

Factoring  x2 + 8x + 3

What ratio can we say are equivalent to 2:9 how do you get the answer explain to me
Ulleksa [173]
Ratio equivalent to 2:9 is 4:18, 6:27

If you multiply the same number to both numbers, the ratio would always be the same.

What is the value of this expression when<br> d= 47 and f = 3?<br> 6 (d - f) +f
agasfer [191]

Answer:

267

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the expression:  6 (d - f) +f

The value of the expression when d= 47 and f = 3 is :

6 (47 - 3) +3 = 6×(44) + 3 = 264 + 3 = 267

=267

A parabola has a focus of F(2, -0.5) and a directrix of y=-1.5 P(x,y) represents any point on the parabola, while D(x, -1.5) rep
prohojiy [21]
The sketch of the parabola is attached below

We have the focus (a,b) = (2, -0.5)
The point P(x,y)
The directrix, c at y=-1.5

The steps to find the equation of the parabola are as follows

Step 1
Find the distance between the focus and the point P using Pythagoras. We have two coordinates; (2, -0.5) and (x,y).
We need the vertical and horizontal distances to find the hypotenuse (the diagram is shown in the second diagram).
The distance between the focus and point P is given by
\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }

Step 2
Find the distance between the point P to the directrix c. It is a vertical distance between y and c, expressed as y-c

Step 3
The equation of parabola is then given as 
\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }=y-c
(x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2}= (y-c)^{2} ⇒ substituting a, b and c
(x-2)^{2}+ (y--0.5)^{2}  = (y--1.5)^{2}
(x-2)^{2}+ (y+0.5)^{2}= (y+1.5)^{2}⇒Rearranging and making y the subject gives

y= \frac{ x^{2} }{2} -2x+1
