Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out which is larger, you must first find the common denominator.

Multiply the denominators to find a common denominator:

8 x 5 = 40

Then, cross-multiply to find the new numerators:

2 x 8 = 16 3 x 5 = 15

You now have:

2/5 = 16/40 and 3/8 = 15/40

So, 2/5 is larger!

Use synthetic division to find P (-10) for P(x)=2x^3+14x^2-58x

Savatey [412]

The polynomial remainder theorem states that the remainder upon dividing a polynomial $p(x)$ by $x-c$ is the same as the value of $p(c)$ , so to find $p(-10)$ you need to find the remainder upon dividing

$\dfrac{2x^3+14x^2-58x}{x+10}$

You have

..... | 2 ... 14 ... -58
-10 | ... -20 ... 60
--------------------------
..... | 2 ... -6 .... 2

So the quotient and remainder upon dividing is

$\dfrac{2x^3+14x^2-58x}{x+10}=2x-6+\dfrac2{x+10}$

with a remainder of 2, which means $p(-10)=2$ .

A line has a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of 5. What is its equation in slope-intercept form? Write your answer using integers,

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

$y=3x+5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is asking for slope-intercept form, luckily, they gave us both of those things.

Slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ , where $m=$ slope and $b=$ y-intercept.

So,

$y=3x+5$

Use the Distributive Property to find the Product 4 and 2/5 × 10

arlik [135]

Distributive Property ( A number, n, is multiplied to the expression in parentheses)

$4( \frac{2}{5} \times 10) = \\ 4( \frac{20}{5} ) = \\ 4(4) = 16$
