Answer:
Put p(x)=0.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-1=0 will give x=1/2. This means, If x=1/2 is given to the polynomial p(x), it will give a zero. P(1/2)=0.
Answer:
168, a little of both
Step-by-step explanation:
Make 14 out of 50, 14/50 simplified its 7/25, multiply it by 600 and you get 168 its a little of both because half the info we were given its experimental since it is not theorized, what we're being given (the question) and what we gave is theorized since we didn't actually perform an experiment to get a real answer
Answer:
506
Step-by-step explanation:
do the math
Answer:
C. (5x - 1)(x + 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
In a factoring problem by hand, the common steps to solve would be the "AM" method, or (Add-Multiply). Simply stated, finding what adds to the x-coeficient and what multiplies to the constant. In this case, what adds to 39(x) and what multiplies to 8. Just reading that, we can see that there aren't any numbers that can do that, so we have to improvise. Set up the problem equal to something that it can factor into:
- <em>Multiply the 5 and -8</em> = -40: <em>this is what we will factor</em>
- <em>The factors with add to 39 are 40 and -1</em>.
- <em>Set up the problem:</em>

Now, we can fo the math:

8(5x - 1) + x(5x - 1)
<em>Factor (5x - 1) from this:</em>
(5x - 1)(x + 8)
And we have our answer.
Simplify 1/9 y to y/9
y/9 = -2
then multiply 9 by both sides
y = -2 x 9
then simplify
y = -18
