Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

6x^2+17x+5=0

(3x+1)(2x+5)=0

x = -1/3, x = -5/2

Split the second term in 6x^2 + 17x + 5 into two terms

6x^2 + 15x + 2x + 5 = 0

Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

3x(2x + 5) + (2x + 5) = 0

Factor out the common term 2x + 5

(2x + 5)(3x + 1) = 0

Solve for x

<u>x = -5/2, -1/3</u>

There are 15 candidates for 4 job positions.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

32760 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of Candidates = 15

Job Positions = 4

Required:

Number of outcomes

This question represent selection; i.e. selecting candidates for job positions;

This question can be solved in any of the following two ways

Method 1.

The first candidate can be chosen from any of the 15 candidates

The second candidate can be chosen from any of the remaining 14 candidates

The third candidate can be chosen from any of the remaining 13 candidates

The fourth candidate can be chosen from any of the remaining 12 candidates

Total Possible Selection = 15 * 14 * 13 * 12

<em>Total Possible Selection = 32760 ways</em>

<em></em>

Method 2:

This can be solved using permutation method which goes thus;

nPr = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Where n = 15 and r = 4

So;

nPr = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!} becomes

15P4 = \frac{15!}{(15-4)!}

15P4 = \frac{15!}{11!}

15P4 = \frac{15*14*13*12*11!}{11!}

15P4 = 15*14*13*12

15C4 = 32760

<em>Hence, there are 32760 ways</em>

Simplify completely x^2+4x-45 / x^2+10x+9
S_A_V [24]

Answer: x - 5/x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This algebraic fraction

The task to be performed here is factorisation and simplification. Now going by the question,

x² + 4x - 45/x² + 10x + 9, the factorisation of

x² + 4x - 45 = x² + 9x - 5x - 45

= x(x + 9 ) - 5(x + 9 )

= ( x + 9 )(x - 5 ), don't forget this is the algebraic fraction's Numerator

The second part

x² + 10x + 9 = x² + x + 9x + 9

= x(x + 1) + 9( x + 1 )

= ( x + 9 )( x + 1 ), this is the algebraic denominator.

Now place the second expression which is the denominator under the first expression which is the numerator.

( x + 9 )( x - 5 )/( x + 9 )( x + 1 ).

You can see that, ( x + 9 )/( x + 9 ) divide each other , therefore therr then cancelled and left with

x - 5/x + 1

Please help it’s for geometry
vredina [299]

Answer:

x=25

Step-by-step explanation:

they are supplementary and adjacent, thus you do 4x-3+3x+8=180, simplify and get 7x+5=180, subtract 5 from 180 which is 175, then ending up with 7x=175 and 175/7 is 25.

Find the average rate of change of f(x)=2x^2-7x from x=2 to x=6
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of a function f between a and b (a< b) is :

R =[f(b)-f(a)] ÷ (a-b)

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Let R be the average rate of change of this function

f(6) = 2×6^2 - 7×6 = 72-42 = 30

f(2) = 2×2^2 - 7×2 = 8-14 = -6

R = [f(6) - f(2)]÷ (6-2)

R = [30-(-6)] ÷ 4

R = -36/4

R = -9

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

The average rate of change of this function is -9
