Which is a factor of 5xy − 40x − 15y + 120? A. 2 B. y − 8 C. x − 4 D. x + 6

1 answer:

5 0

Upon slight rearranging:

5xy-15y-40x+120, now factor 1st and 2nd pair of terms

5y(x-3)-40(x-3) which is equal to:

(5y-40)(x-3) if we factor the first parenthetical term as well

5(y-8)(x-3)

So (y-8) is a factor

Which point is not on the graph represented by y=x^2+2x-4

Illusion [34]

$(-6,20) \\
x=-6 \\ y=20 \\ \Downarrow \\
20 \stackrel{?}{=} (-6)^2+2 \times (-6)-4 \\
20 \stackrel{?}{=} 36-12-4 \\
20 \stackrel{?}{=} 20 \\
20 = 20 \\
\hbox{the point is on the graph}$

$(-4,4) \\
x=-4 \\ y=4 \\ \Downarrow \\
4 \stackrel{?}{=} (-4)^2+2 \times (-4)-4 \\
4 \stackrel{?}{=} 16-8-4 \\
4 \stackrel{?}{=} 4 \\
4 = 4 \\
\hbox{the point is on the graph}$

Both points are on the graph.

Answer:

The first pair.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 corresponding parts must be congruent for two triangles to be congruent. The first pair has 3 congruence markings; two angles and one side are congruent. Additionally, they are congruent by the ASA postulate because two angles and the included side are congruent.
