Answer:

  • <em>B. The grouping method of factoring trinomials involves rewriting the bx term into the factors that fit the particular trinomial, and factoring these four terms using grouping</em>

Explanation:

The description may be better explained by applying it to an example.

Example:

  • trinomial: x² - x - 30

  • the general form of a trinomial is a x² - bx - 30

  • comparing with x² - x - 30 the <em>bx term </em>is - x

  • then you must <em>rewrite the bx term, - x,</em> into two terms whose coefficients are factors of 30:

          Two numbers which add up - 1 and multipled are - 30. Those numbers are - 6 and + 5, because -6 + 5 = - 1 and (-6) × (+5) = -30.

           Hence, the two terms are -6x and 5x, and the expression rewritten is:

            x² - 6x + 5x - 30

  • <em>factor these four terms using grouping</em>:

            (x² - 6x) + (5x - 30)

            x(x - 6) + 5(x - 6)

            (x - 6) (x + 5)

Hence, the factored trinomial is (x - 6) (x + 5)

The asymptote of the function f(x) = 3x + 1 – 2 is ___. Its y-intercept is ___.
Svetradugi [14.3K]
The only way this could have an asymptote, either horizontal, vertical, or oblique is if it is a rational function, proper or improper. This function is linear:
y=3x-1 is what it simplifies to and it is a straight line through the y axis at -1 and has a positive slope of 3. There are no asymptotes here. But the y intercept, like I stated, is (0, -1)

Which equation shows the relationship between the volume, (V) of the prism and its height (h)?
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

h = V/lw

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is V = lwh. We need to use this equation and solve for h by dividing lw on both sides.

V = lwh

V/lw = h

The following table shows a proportional relationship between x and y.
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Assume x is directly proportional to y :

y \:  \alpha  \: x \\ y = kx

when y is 9, x is 2:

substitute to find value of k :

9 = (k \times 2) \\ k =  \frac{9}{2}

Therefore, equation is:

{ \boxed{ \boxed{2y = 9 x}}}
