The first rule of factoring is to try to factor a common factor from all the terms. In this case, there is no common factor.

Now we factor the trinomial.
This quadratic trinomial is of the form
x^2 + ax + b = 0
where the coefficient of the x^2 term is 1.
To factor it, find two numbers that multiply to "b", the constant term,
and add to "a", the coefficient of x.

The numbers are -5 and 2 since -5 * 2 = -10, and -5 + 2 = -3.

Now we write two sets of parentheses with x on the left side:

(x      )(x       ) = 0

We fill in the parentheses with the two numbers we found above, -5 and 2.

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

That is the factoring.

Hello there!

x^2 - 3x - 10=0

Factorize the left side 

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

Set factors equal to 0

x + 2 = 0 or x - 5 = 0 

x = -2 or x = 5 

Best of luck!

A 24 inch board is cut into 3 pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first and the third is 3 times as long as
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  first piece = 4 in, second piece = 8 in, third piece = 12 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

total length = 24 inches

first piece = x in

second piece = 2x

third piece = 3x

Equation

               x + 2x + 3x = 24

               6x = 24

               x = 24/6

               x = 4               length of the first piece

second piece = 2(4) = 8 inches

third piece = 3(4) = 12 inches

Write the equation of the line that goes through each set of points------ (-1.6),(3-,2)
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The equation that goes through this set of points is y = -x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to start by finding the slope. For that we use the slope formula.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (6 - -2)/(-1 - 3)

m = 4/-4

m = -1

Now that we have this, we can use the slope and a point in point-slope form to get the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 6 = -1(x - -1)

y - 6 = -1(x + 1)

y - 6 = -x - 1

y = -x + 5

How do you find the slope using this table? I graphed it too but I can't understand it!
sammy [17]
M=Y2-Y1/X2-X1
M= 1250-1625/4-2.5
M=841.25
But I have no clue how you would graph that

Tara and Michelle are growing trees in their back yard. Tara's tree starts at a height of 10 feet, and grows 4 ft. a year. Miche
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

To determine the exponential growth of Michelle's tree at 12 years, taking into account that it measures 7 feet and grows 14% annually, the following calculation must be performed:

X = 7 x (1 + 0.14) 12

X = 33.7

Thus, in 12 years, the height of Michelle's tree will be 33.7 feet. In turn, the tree of Tara will measure 58 feet at the same time.

The first time Michelle's tree surpasses Tara's will be at age 20, when Michelle's tree will measure 96.2 feet (X = 7 x (1 + 0.14) 20), while Tara's tree will measure 90 feet.
