Factorize 2x^4-7x^3-13x^2+63x-45 using factor theorem.
zheka24 [161]
Find the possible rational roots and use synthetic division to find the first zero.
I chose x=1 (which represents the factor "x-1")

1║2  -7  -13    63  -45
  ║     2    -5  -18    45
    2  -5  -18    45    0
(x-1) is a factor, (2x³ - 5x² - 18x + 45) is the other factor.

Use synthetic division on the decomposed polynomial to find the next zero.
I chose x = 3 (which represents the factor "x-3")

3║2  -5  -18    45 
  ║     6     3   -45   
    2   1  -15     0   

Using synthetic division, we discovered that (x-1), (x-3), & (2x² + x -15) are factors.  Take the new decomposed polynomial (2x² + x -15) and find the last two factors using any method.

Final Answer: (x-1)(x-3)(x+3)(2x-5)

I need x+y=5 and y=2x-4solved algebraically
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

x = 3; y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 5

y = 2x - 4

<em>Isolate the y in the first equation</em>

y = 5 - x

y = 2x - 4

<em>Substitute the values</em>

5 - x = 2x - 4

<em>Isolate the Variable</em>

9 = 3x

<em>Simplify</em>

3 = x

<em>Plug that into the first equation</em>

3 + y = 5

<em>Subtract 3 from both sides</em>

y = 2

Find the midpoint of the line segment given the endpoints.<br><br> (-1, 10) (-1, 6)
BaLLatris [955]

The midpoint of these two points is (-1, 8).

In order to find the midpoint, you must take the average of each part of the coordinates. You do this by adding them together and dividing by 2. We'll start with the x-coordinates.

(-1 + -1)/2 = -1

Now we'll use the y-coordinates.

(10 + 6)/2 = 8

This gives us the ordered pair of (-1, 8)
