Factor the expression 6g^2+11g-35

Mathematics
1 answer:
blagie [28]3 years ago

Answer:

(3g-5)(2g+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare

6g^2+11g-35 to

ag^2+bg+c.

We should see that a=6, b=11,c=-35.

It these is factoable over the rationals we should be able to find two numbers that multiply to be ac and add up to be b.

ac=6(-35)

b=11

Now I really don't want to actually find the product of 6(-35). I'm just going to play with the factors until I see a pair that adds up to 11.

6(-35)

30(-7)  Moved a factor of 5 around.

10(-21) Moved a factor of 3 around.

10 and -21 is almost it.  We just need to switch where the negative is because we want a sum of 11 when we add the numbers (not -11).

So b=-10+21 and ac=-10*21.

We are going to replace b in

6g^2+11g-35

with -10+21.

We can do this because 11 is -10+21.

Let's do it.

6g^2+(-10+21)g-35

6g^2+-10g+21g-35

Now we are going to factor the first two terms together and the second two terms together.

Like so:

(6g^2-10g)+(21g-35)

We are going to factor what we can from each pair.

2g(3g-5)+7(3g-5)

There are two terms both of these terms have a common factor of (3g-5) so we can factor it out:

(3g-5)(2g+7)

Samatha ran 3.5 miles on saturday. on wednesday ,she ran 5.2 miles. what was her percent increase to the nearest percent?
taurus [48]
Find the difference between the 2 numbers which will give you the increase from the lower value to the higher.  Divide this increase by the original (lower) number and multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.  For us that looks like this:  \frac{5.2-3.5}{3.5} *100.  Simplifying a bit we have  \frac{1.7}{3.5}*100=48.5% or 49%, rounded.

To answer this, set up a system of equations. What we know is that

5x + 2y = 100
And...
x+y=38

x represents the unknown number of 5 points questions
y represents the unknown number of 2 point questions

In my opinion the easiest way to solve this is to use substitution (that is when you find out the value of one variable, either x or y, and substitute that value as the variable).

So,

x+y=38

Subtract x from both sides

y=38-x

Now, plug (38-x) in as y in the other equation.

5x + 2(38-x) = 100
5x + 76-2x= 100
3x+76=100
3x=24
x=8

Now that you know that x=8, you can solve for y.

5x+2y=100
5(8)+2y=100
40+2y=100
2y=60
---- ------
2 2
y=30


X=8
Y=30

There are 8 five point questions on the test and 30 two point questions on the test

Solve for the roots in simplest form using the quadratic formula:<br>4x2 – 12x = -5​
Art [367]

Answer:

x=2.5&.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula is (-b+or-sqrt(b^2-4ac)/2a

12+or-sqrt((-12^2)-4(4)(5))

12+or-sqrt(144-80)

12+or-sqrt(64)

(12+8)/8 and (12-8)/8

x=2.5 and x=.5
