Solve by factoring: 5x^2 + 19x + 12 = 0

When solving polynomial equations, first set the equation

equal to zero, then check for a Greatest Common Factor.

Since there is no greatest common factor, this will make life a

little bit more difficult because we will have to factor the trinomial.

First, find all possible factors for constant term.

I have listed these in red below.

Make sure to reverse the factors since in each binomial,

the first term is different so we need to reverse the factors.

The factors of 5x² will just be 5x and z.

After finding factors for the constant and the leading

coefficient for your trinomial, we can eliminate some factors.

If you have an odd coefficient on the middle term,

you can eliminate any pairs of even factors.

So the group I crossed out in purple below will be eliminated.

Another strategy is to use factors a little closer together.

So I would go with the 4 and 3 group.

Surely enough, our trinomial does factor with the 4 and 3.

Now set the factored trinomial equal to 0.

Then use zero product property and you have your answer.

Answer:

-0.27

Step-by-step explanation:

5x^2=25x

25x+19x=44x

44x+12=0

     -12=0-12

44x=-12

44x/44=-12/44

x=-0.27

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Rate = 6.56%

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal (P) = $5000

Interest (I) = $6312

Time (T) = 4 years

Rate (r) = ?

This question is involves simple interest and with the formula, we can easily plug in the values to find the rate.

S.I = P(1 + rt)

S.I = simple interest

P = principal

R = Rate

T = Time

6312 = 5000(1 + r*4)

6312 = 5000 + 5000*4r

6312 - 5000 = 20000r

1312 = 20000r

r = 1312 / 20000

r = 0.0656

Rate are calculated in percentage hence we'll multiply it by 100

R = 6.56%

PLEASE GIVE BRAINLIST

By reading this ithink the answer is B=median

A boxplot is a standardized way of displaying the dataset based on a five-number summary: the minimum, the maximum, the sample median, and the first and third quartiles. Minimum : the lowest data point excluding any outliers.

Find the area under the standard normal curve to the left of
JulijaS [17]
A. z = 0.74
  The z-score of 0.74 translates to a percentile of 0.77035. Hence, the area under the standard normal curve to the left of z-score 0.74 is ~0.77.

b. z = -2.16
   This z-score translates to a percentile of 0.015386 which is also the numerical value of the area under the curve to the left of the z-score

c. z = 1.02
   The percentile equivalent of the z-score above is 0.846. The area is also 0.846.

d. z = -0.15
   The percentile equivalent and the area is equal to 0.44.
