Completely factor the polynomial. 4x^2 20x 25

1 answer:

6 0

I use the railroad method so here's how I would solve it:
4 x 25 = 100
10 x 10 = 100, 10 + 10 = 20
(x +10/4)(x + 10/4)
(x + 5/2)(x + 5/2)
The answer should be: (2x + 5)(2x + 5)

It can be checked:
2x x 2x = 4x^2
2x x 5 = 10x
5 x 2x = 10x
5 x 5 = 25
4x^2 + 20x + 25

So yes, the answer would be (2x + 5)(2x + 5)

Help please. Give the slope of y - 3 = 4(x + 8) and a point on the line

Sauron [17]

-----------------------------------------------------------
Make y the subject :
-----------------------------------------------------------
y - 3 = 4(x + 8)
y - 3 = 4x + 32 // Apply distributive property
y = 4x + 35 // Add 3 to both sides

-----------------------------------------------------------
Identify Slope :
-----------------------------------------------------------
Slope = 4

-----------------------------------------------------------
Find a point on the line :
-----------------------------------------------------------
When x = 0,
y = 4(0) + 35 // Sub x = 0 into the equation
y = 35 // Combine like terms
Point = (0, 35)

-----------------------------------------------------------
Answers :
(a) Slope = 4
(b) One point on the line is (0, 35)
