Factoring x^2-5x+10

The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -5x its coefficient is -5 .
The last term, "the constant", is 10

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 10 = 10

Step-2 : Find two factors of 10 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -5 .

-10 + 1 = -9
-1 + 10 = 9
-5 + 2 = -3
-2 + 5 = 3

No two such factors can be found !!
*Trinomial can not be factored*

Hope this helped!

A scale model of a rectangular building lot measures 7 feet by 5 feet. If the actual house will be built using a scale factor of

eimsori [14]

Answer:

<em>The area of the actual building lot is</em> $5,040\ ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Scaling</u>

The scaled rectangular building measures 7 feet by 5 feet. We know both magnitudes were scaled by a factor of 12, thus the real dimensions of the house to be built are 7*12=84 feet, and 5*12=60 feet.

The area of the actual building lot is calculated by:

$A=84\ ft*60\ ft=5,040\ ft^2$
