Factor the polynomial expression 15x^2 - 2x - 8

Mathematics
1 answer:
AVprozaik [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

(3 x + 2) (5 x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

15 x^2 - 2 x - 8

Factor the quadratic 15 x^2 - 2 x - 8. The coefficient of x^2 is 15 and the constant term is -8. The product of 15 and -8 is -120. The factors of -120 which sum to -2 are 10 and -12. So 15 x^2 - 2 x - 8 = 15 x^2 - 12 x + 10 x - 8 = 5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2):

5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2)

Factor 3 x + 2 from 5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2):

Answer: (3 x + 2) (5 x - 4)

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

I would buy the 2000 Toyota Tundra. Yes it is the most expensive, but it is the newest so it should require less expense money for problems, it is a manual transmission 6 cylinder so it should get better gas mileage, and it has fewer miles. The rankings of these trucks are not provided, however a Toyota tundra is considered to be a workhorse in the truck. If this is an opinion question, that's my choice.

What is the sign of the product (3) × (−3) × (−2) × (4)?
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Positive, because the products (3) × (−3) and (−2) × (4) are negative and the product of two negative numbers is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1 * -1 = -1, and -1 * -1 = 1, the product of opposite signs produces negative numbers while the product of same signs produces positive numbers. So the product of 1 * 1 * 1 * -1 = -1, while -1 * -1 * -1 * -1 = 1.

What is the equation of the line passing through the point (-2,-1) and perpendicular to the line y = 1/2x+5?
uranmaximum [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line is always the factor of x.

here : 1/2

it is the ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes a certain angina amount of units when going from one point to another.

a perpendicular slope puts x and y upside-down and flips the sign.

here : -2/1 = -2

so, the equation looks like

y = -2x + b

b is the y-intercept, and we get this by putting the x and y coordinates of the given point into this equation and solve for b :

-1 = -2×-2 + b

-1 = 4 + b

b = -5

the full equation is therefore

y = -2x - 5
