Find the missing factor. 8x^2 - 15x + 7 = (8x - 7)( )

Mathematics

Leokris [45]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(8x - 7)(

The x^2 term has to come out to 8x^2.

The 8 is already there.

So your first term in the second factor is x.

(8x - 7) ( x

Now the question is what is the sign after the x. Since the question shows +7 the only way that can happen is if both signs in the factors are the same.

Since (8x - 7) has been given to you and you need 7 to come out plus, then the sign after x must minus. Both signs must be the same.

(8x - 7)(x -

Last, what comes after the minus sign? You already have a minus 7 so you need something to multiply by 7 to get seven.

That should be a one.

(8x - 7)(x - 1)

x - 1 is you answer. I leave you to check the middle term. It is - 15

How do you graph x+2÷(x^2-3x-10) without a calculator?
ahrayia [7]
First step is to simplify the equation into a form that we are familiar with graphing, in this case the simplest way i believe is to factorise the denominator. There are many methods of factorising quadratics but in this case my preferred method would be as follows:

x^2-3x-10, because it is a quadratic equation we know it can be factorised into the form (x+a)(x+b), we know that -10 is the product of a and b, therefore a and b can only be +/-1 and -/+10, or +/-5 and -/+2, the next step is to see which of these factors sum to equal -3, in this case it will be +2 and -5, therefore x^2-3x-10 can be factorised into (x+2)(x-5).

We have now simplified the function into f(x)= (x+2)/(x+2)(x-5), we can still simplify the function further though:

(x+2)/(x+2)(x-5), the numerator and denominator have a common factor therefore we can divide the numerator and the denominator by that factor, ((x+2)/(x+2))/((x+2)(x-5)/(x+2))= 1/(x-5) 

The function is now in it's simplest form, so we will now graph it. As a side note you can't perfectly "graph" any function by hand so instead we will sketch the function, to sketch a function you need to know the general shape of the function  and any x/y intercepts or asymptotes.        

Functions of the form a/(bx+c) are reciprocal functions, you need to be able to remember what reciprocal function looks like to be a able to sketch them by hand, they look something like this https://www.desmos.com/calculator/df2wiewhsz. To work out the x-intercept we will assign f(x) as 0, 0=1/(x-5), multiply both sides by (x-5), (x-5)0=1, 0=1, 0 doesn't equal 1 therefore there is no x-intercept but instead there is an asymptote at y=0. To work out the y-intercept we will assign x as 0, f(x)=1/(x-5), f(x)=1/-5, therefore the only y-intercept is at coordinates (0.-0.2). All reciprocal functions have 2 asymptotes, we have already found one of them, by making f(x)=0, to find the other asymptote we will make 1/(x-5)=∞, 1/0=∞, therefore x-5 has to equal 0, therefore the second asymptote will be x=5.

after putting all of this together the graph should look something like this https://www.desmos.com/calculator/bibeeu7xtv

A cyclist rides her bike at a rate of 12 meters per second. What is this rate in kilometers per hour? How many kilometers will t
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Part 1) The rate is 43.2\frac{km}{h}

Part 2) 129.6\ km

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

we know that

A cyclist rides her bike at a rate of 12 meters per second

Remember that

1 hour=3,600 seconds

1 kilometer=1,000 meters

therefore

12\frac{m}{sec} =\frac{(12/1,000)}{(1/3,600)}=\frac{12*3,600}{1,000}=43.2\frac{km}{h}

Part 2) How many kilometers will the cyclist travel in 3 hours?

using proportion

\frac{43.2}{1}\frac{km}{h}=\frac{x}{3}\frac{km}{h}\\ \\x=43.2*3\\ \\x=129.6\ km
