Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2k² - k - 3
Consider the factors of the product of the k² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the k- term.
product = 2 × - 3 = - 6 and sum = - 1
The factors are + 2 and - 3
Use these factors to split the k- term
2k² + 2k - 3k - 3 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 2k(k + 1) - 3(k + 1) ← factor out (k + 1) from each term
= (2k - 3)(k + 1) → A
Answer:
y - 1 = 
(x - 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 1) ← 2 points on the line
m = 
=
and using (a, b) = (3, 1 ) , then
y - 1 = (x - 3)
Answer:
15 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Jon will increase his weigh 2 lbs a week which means he will be 178 lbs in 15 weeks{148+(15*2)} while Matt will decrease his weight from 1 lbs which means he will be 178 lbs in 15 weeks (193-15=178).
