F(x)=1/4x^2+1/2x-35/4 how do I factor fractions?

1 answer:

5 0

let's multiply both sides by the LCD of all fractions, in this case is 4, just to do away with the denominators for a few seconds

$\bf f(x) = \cfrac{1}{4}x^2+\cfrac{1}{2}x-\cfrac{35}{4}\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{4}}{4[f(x)]=4\left( \cfrac{1}{4}x^2+\cfrac{1}{2}x-\cfrac{35}{4} \right)} \\\\\\ 4f(x) = x^2+2x-35\implies 4f(x) = (x+7)(x-5) \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill f(x) = \cfrac{1}{4}(x+7)(x-5)~\hfill$

A large box contains 18 small boxes and each small box contains 25 chocolate bars. How many chocolate bars are in the large box?

Katarina [22]

You need to multiply 25 by 18 to find the total.

25 x 18 = 450.

There are 450 chocolate bars in the large box

Which of the following statements are the same? (A) x -= x + 4 (B) x = x + 4 - x (C) x = x - (x + 4) (A) and (B) are the same (A

Nesterboy [21]

Answer: (A) and (B) are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

for (A)

x-=x+4

x=x-(x+4)

x=x-x-4

x=4

for (B)

x=x+4-x

x=4

for (C)

x=x-(x+4)

x=x-x-4

x=-4

so (A) and (B) are the same because the value of their x is +4
