Which of the following statements best describes the "grouping method" of factoring trinomials?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Masja [62]3 years ago
4 0

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)

Which of the following is an example of direct variation?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer: Choice A) y = cx

The 'c' is the constant of variation

For example, if c = 2, then y = 2x is a direct variation. Whatever x is, we double it to get y. As x increases, so does y. As x decreases, then so does y. Both x and y increase/decrease together.

Direct variation equations always go through the origin, and they are always linear. The 'c' plays the role of the slope. You can think of y = cx as y = mx+b where b = 0 in this case and c = m.

Which of the following are right triangle congruence theorems
Molodets [167]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer options are A, B, C and D.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

A. Leg-angle (LA):

According to this theorem, if the leg and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding leg and acute angle of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

B. Hypotenuse-leg (HL):

If any two right triangles that have a congruent hypotenuse and a corresponding, congruent leg are congruent triangles.

C. Hypotenuse-angle (HA):

If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and an acute angle of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

D. Leg-leg (LL):

If any two right triangles that have a congruent hypotenuse and a corresponding, congruent leg are congruent triangles.
