Perhaps the most concise way to factor is by "completing the square" which is how the quadratic formula is derived...
x^2+6x+8=0 move constant to other side, subtract 8 from both sides
x^2+6x=-8, halve the linear coefficient, square it, then add that to both sides, in this case (6/2)^2=3^2=9
x^2+6x+9=1 now the left side is a perfect square of the form
(x+3)^2=1 take the square root of both sides
x+3=±√1 subtract 3 from both sides
x=-3±√1
x=-3±1
x=-4 and -2
Since the zeros occur when x=-4 and -2 the factors of the equation are:
(x+2)(x+4)
Answer:
9.5 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of drawing = 8 4/9 inches
Scale : 1/3 inch in drawing = 3/8 actual length
Length of drawing / drawing scale
8 4/9 = 76/9 inches
Number of 1/3 inches in total length of drawing :
76/9 ÷ 1/3
76/9 * 3 / 1
(76*3) /(9*1) = 228 /9 = 9 3/9 = 9 1/3
9 1/3 * 3/8 foot
(228 / 9) * (3 /8)
(228/3) * (1/ 8)
228 / 24
= 9.5 feet
2,400
20% of 3,000= 600
3,000 - 600= 2,400
100-35=65
65 over 100 x 345.80
=224.77
345.80-224.77=121.03
Answer:
Option 'B' is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of lemons used is denoted by 'y'.
Number of glasses of lemonade is denoted by 'x'.
As we can observe that ,
so we can write i as
By cross multiplication
<em>y=4x</em>
So, if write it in the form y=kx,
It will be y=4x.
