Jimmy is trying to factor the quadratic equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0.$ He assumes that it will factor in the form \[ax^2 + bx + c

= (Ax + B)(Cx + D),\]where $A,$ $B,$ $C,$ and $D$ are integers. If $a = 4,$ and Jimmy wants to find the value of $A,$ what are the possible values he should check, in order to find $A$?

Answer:

possible value of A are 1, 2, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Jimmy is trying to factor the quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0.

He assumes that it will factor in the form ax^2 + bx + c = (Ax + B)(C x + D)

Given a=4

We need to find the value of A

When we do factoring we use the factors of the numbers

(Ax+B)(Cx+D) is ACx^2 + ADx + BCx + BD

ax^2 + bx + c =ACx^2 + ADx + BCx + BD

When a=4  then AC is also 4

A* C = 4

1 * 4= 4

2 * 2= 4

4 * 1 = 4

So possible value of A are 1, 2, 4

If

ax^2+bx+c=(Ax+B)(Cx+D)

then

ax^2+bx+c=ACx^2+(AD+BC)x+BD

\implies a=AC

If a is known and Jimmy wants to find A, then he has to know the value of C.

The potential energy of an object varies jointly with the mass of the object and the height of the object off the ground. A 25-k
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

This is physics. By the way look the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of Potential Energy is E=mgh, where m is the mass of the object, g the gravitational, and h the height of the object. Given that the potential energy of the object is 150 Joules at 3 meters height, Represent m=E/(g*h), considering g=9.8 m/s^2(Because this value was used for the first object), we get m=150/9.8/3=5.102
