1. Reduce <span>3x2-6x-240 to x^2 - 2x - 80
2. Use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation
3. Factor </span>x^2 - 2x - 80 using completing the square:
x^2 - 2x + 1^2 - 1^2 - 80
(x+1)^2 - 1 - 80
(x+1)^2 - 81
(x+1)^2 - 9^2 = (x+1-9)(x+1 +9), or (x-8)(x+10)
Final answer, with all factors shown: 3(x-8)(x+10)
So P stands for principle which is the amount of the original investment, R stands for rate which is the percent but must be turned into a decimal, T stands for time for example if the time was in a certain amount of months then you plug that in with x/12, and lastly I stands for interest which is the original investment outcome ^_^
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
2-7 Is equal to -5
Slope intercept form is: y=mx+b
For the other line to be parallel they must have the same slope so:
y=5x+b, using the point (4,5) we can solve for the y-intercept, or "b"
5=5(4)+b
5=20+b
b=-15 so the line is:
y=5x-15
