Factor completely.

1 answer:

5 0

Factor the polynomial:

4u² – 20u + 25

Rewrite – 20u as – 10u – 10u, and then factor it by grouping:

= 4u² – 10u – 10u + 25

= 2u * (2u – 5) – 5 * (2u – 5)

= (2u – 5) * (2u – 5)

= (2u – 5)² <––– this is the answer.

I hope this helps. =)

Billy-Bob has a piggy-bank filled with nickels and quarters totaling $11.90.

Lunna [17]

Answer:

x = 33

y = 41

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven

x: number of nickels

y: number of quarters

A nickel = $0.05

A quarter = $0.25

then we have the system of equations

0.05*x + 0.25*y = 11.90

x + y = 74

Which can be solved applying any of known methods. Then, the solution is

x = 33

y = 41

hope this was helpful.

What are the values of x and y x=9/4 y=3/4 x=9/4 y=15/4 x=15/4 y=5/4 x=3/4 y=15/4

The complete question in the attached figure

we know that

in the triangle BDC
cos alfa=3/y----------> equation 1
sin alfa=x/y----------> equation 2

in the triangle ABD
cos alfa=4/5--------> equation 3
sin alfa=3/5---------> equation 4

then

Equal equation 1 and 3
3/y=4/5---------> y/3=5/4----------> y=15/4

Equal equation 2 and 4
x/y=3/5-------> x=3*y/5------------> 3*15/(4*5)-----> x=9/4

the answer is
x=9/4 y=15/4
