Answer:

B.) 2(5x-4)(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

10x^2+2x-8

= 2(5x^2 + x - 4)

= 2(5x^2 + 5x - 4x - 4)

= 2[5x(x + 1) - 4(x + 1)]

= 2(5x-4)(x+1)

Answer:

B.) 2(5x - 4)(x + 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

10x^2+2x-8

First divide by the common factor 2:

= 2(5x^2 + x - 4)

Now we factor the expression in the parentheses using the 'ac' method.

5 * -4 = -20 so to get the + x in the middle we need 5x - 4x:

= 2 ( 5x^2 + 5x - 4x - 4)

= 2[ 5x(x + 1) - 4(x + 1)]

= 2(5x - 4)(x + 1) (answer).

Which is bigger? 30% or 1/3?

aalyn [17]

Convert them to comparable thingummys

convert to fraction

percent means parts out of 100
30%=30/100=3/10

3/10 vvs 1/3
make bottom number 30

3/10 times 3/3=9/30

1/3 times 10/10=10/30
10/30>9/30

1/3 is bigger

Your friend claims that if a line has a slope less than 1, then any line perpendicular to it must have a positive slope. Is your

mezya [45]

Answer:

The friend's claim is not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal yo -1)

Example

A given line has a slope of $m_1=1/2$ ---> (is less than 1)

the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is equal to

$m_1*m_2=-1$

substitute

$(1/2)*m_2=-1$

$m_2=-2$

the perpendicular line don't have a positive slope

therefore

The friend's claim is not correct
