Mathematics

Answer:

(3x - 1) • (2x + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Pull out like factors :

  24x2 + 52x - 20  =   4 • (6x2 + 13x - 5)  

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

Factoring  6x2 + 13x - 5  

The first term is,  6x2  its coefficient is  6 .

The middle term is,  +13x  its coefficient is  13 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -5  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   6 • -5 = -30  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -30  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   13 .

     -30    +    1    =    -29  

     -15    +    2    =    -13  

     -10    +    3    =    -7  

     -6    +    5    =    -1  

     -5    +    6    =    1  

     -3    +    10    =    7  

     -2    +    15    =    13    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -2  and  15  

                    6x2 - 2x + 15x - 5

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

                   2x • (3x-1)

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

                   5 • (3x-1)

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

                   (2x+5)  •  (3x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

24x^{2} - 52x + 20

Factoring this quadratic gives us the following:

(8x - 4)(3x - 5)

Group 2: <span> 8x2 + 4x</span> 

Pull out from each group separately :

Group 1: <span>  (3x3 - 7) • (1)</span>
Group 2: <span>  (2x + 1) • (4x)</span>

The recipe makes 1 serving of punch. Sam used 2 cups of pineapple juice to make her punch, how many servings did she make? Use t
Tems11 [23]

Answer: 3 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

Sam used 2 cups of pineapple juice, one serving just needs 2/3 cups of pineapple. 2 divided by 2/3 equals 3 so, Sam made three servings. (in this case 1/2 cup orange juice 3/4 cup Lemon/lime juice 1/3 cup Ginger ale does not matter, you only need to know the pineapple juice.

Pls help
Karolina [17]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

If we look at the right side of the equation we see that the y-intercept is 2, so we will place a point on (0,2).

Next, we look to see if the slope of the graph if positive or negetive, and to see what is the slope (2x).

Finally, we look at the inequality if it is greater than (>), less than (<), greater than or equal to (_>), or less than or equal to (<_).

*Note the following:

if < then the line is dotted and the shading will be under the line.

if > then the line is dotted and the shading will be above the line.

if <_ then the line is solid and the shading will be under the line.

if _> then the line is solid and the shading will be above the line.*

It is a lot of information if you look at it, but with practice it can be made easier.

You play a game that involves drawing two numbers from a hat. There are 25 pieces of paper numbered from 1 to 25 in the hat. Eac
Leokris [45]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Probability=\frac{3}{125}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In the question,

Total number of pieces of paper numbered from 1 to 25 are = 25

As the <u>draw also includes replacement.</u>

So,

<u>Probability of drawing '3'</u> is given by,

Probability=\frac{Favourable\,outcomes}{Total\,cases}\\Probability=\frac{1}{25}

Now,

Numbers greater than 10 are = 15

So,

<u>Probability of drawing a number greater than 10</u> is given by,

Probability=\frac{15}{25}

So,

<em><u>Total probability</u></em> is given by,

Product of probability of drawing 3 in 1st draw and the Probability of drawing a number greater than 10.

\frac{1}{25}\times \frac{15}{25}=\frac{3}{125}\\Probability=\frac{3}{125}

I tried many times to solve this question: Joy makes 6,5 litres soup correct to the nearest 0.5 litres. She serves the soup in 2
Paraphin [41]

Joy makes 6.5 litres soup correct to the nearest 0.5 litres. She serves the soup in 280ml portions correct to the nearest 10ml. 22 people order this soup. Does joy definitely has enough soup to serve the 22 people.

Answer:

Yes, Joy definitely does has enough soup

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we know,

Joy make 6.5 litres of soup

Serves it in 280ml portions

Step 1

We convert the portions to liters

1 ml = 0.001 litre

280 ml

= 280ml × 0.001 litre/1 ml

= 0.28litre

Step 2

We divide 6.5 liters by 0.28 to find out how many people can be served

= 6.5 ÷ 0.28

= 23.2142857143 people

We can see that 6.5 liters soup can serve 23 people approximately.

Therefore, Yes, Joy definitely does has enough soup to serve 22 people
