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. =)

You need to solve a system of equations. You decide to use the elimination method. Which of these is not allowed?

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The <u>Elimination Method</u> is the method for solving a pair of linear equations which reduces one equation to one that has only a single variable.

If the coefficients of one variable are opposites, you add the equations to eliminate a variable, and then solve.
If the coefficients are not opposites, then we multiply one or both equations by a number to create opposite coefficients, and then add the equations to eliminate a variable and solve.

When multoplying the equation by a coefficient, we multiply both sides of the equation (multiplying both sides of the equation by some nonzero number does not change the solution).

So, option B is not allowed (it is not allowed to multiply only one part of equation)

4(1+ 2y) = 12y. Solve for y.

Alja [10]

Answer:

y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

4(1+2y)=12y

4*1 + 4*2y=12y

4 + 8y=12y

4=12y - 8y

4=4y

4/4=y

1=y

Nat2105 [25]

In the ratio, the numbers are 2 for the shortest side, 3 for the middle sized side, and 4 for the longest side.

2 is to 6 cm as 4 is to x

2/6 = 4/x

2x = 4 * 6

2x = 24

x = 12

Answer: The longest side measures 12 cm.

X/w = z/y². solve for y

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simplify (cross multiply) to get $xy^2=wz$

Then we easily simplify to get $y=\sqrt{\frac{wz}{x}},\:y=-\sqrt{\frac{wz}{x}};\quad \:w\ne \:0,\:x\ne \:0$
