Move the decimal over 5 times when it's a positive interval notation:
200,000
660,000
<em>(-4)³ = (-4)(-4)(-4) = 16(-4) = - 64</em>
<em>(-7)² = (-7)(-7) = 49</em>
<em>(-)×(-) = +</em>
<em>(-)×(+) = -</em>
It's 192, I'm pretty sure. I hope that you get this right! :^)
We can factor by grouping. To do so, we multiply the leading coefficient with the constant at the end. In other words, a times c (ax^2 + bx + c).
15*-4 = -60
Now we need to split the b term into two pieces that multiply to -60 and add to 4.
-6 and 10 will work.
Now group one part of b with the 15x^2 and the other part with -4.
(15x^2 + 10x) + (-6x - 4)
Now factor both terms.
5x(3x+2) - 2(3x+2)
3x+2 is one of our factors and 5x-2 is the other.
(3x+2)(5x-2)=0
Now just find the zeros.
3x+2 = 0
3x = -2
x = -2/3
And
5x-2 = 0
5x = 2
x = 2/5
So the answer is x = -2/3 and x = 2/5
