Answer:

= (x - 8)(x + 5)

If it is an equation which just means it is equal to zero e.g. x^2 - 3x - 40 = 0

then we would continue and write our x values!

So assuming it was an equation here is the rest of the working:

x - 8 = 0        x + 5 = 0

x = 8                    x = -5

x = 8, x = -5  

Hope this helped!

(x-8)(x+5)

First thing you do is put the X's into the parentheticals because it is x^2 meaning there are 2 factors with x's. Then, you wonder what factors of -40 could add to get -3. In this case, they are -8 and 5. -8 times 5 is -40 and -8 +5 is -3. Then, you just add -8 and 5 beside the x's in the parentheticals.

-7 (5y - 2u - 5)<br> Use the distributive property to remove parentheses
Montano1993 [528]
Times -7 by everything in the parentheses. so

-7 times 5y=-35y
-7 times -2u=14u
-7 times -5 = 35

therefore 35y+14u+35

WRITE Which solid has a greater volume: cone with a base radious of 7 centimeters and a height of 28 centimeters or a pyramid Wi
Mumz [18]
The pyramid has a greater volume.
The volume of the cone is 1436.7 ( to 5 sf )
The volume of the pyramid is 1437.3 ( to 5 sf )
Both of them is 1440 when rounded off to 3 sf. However , the volume of the pyramid is greater.
( so sorry I can’t explain well but I hope it helps )
The solution is in the picture:) hope you understand better!! Sorry if It’s confusing

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

For the first one it would be A. x = -3, 4 because they where f(x) and g(x) intersect.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the second one it would be B. Fuction 1 has the larger maximum at (4,1) because the maximum point for Fuction 1 is at (4,1) becuase that the highest point/vertex it goes.

What is the row echelon form of this matrix?
USPshnik [31]

The row echelon form of the matrix is presented as follows;

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2  &-5  \\ 0& 1 &  -7\\ 0&0  &1  \\\end{bmatrix}

<h3>What is the row echelon form of a matrix?</h3>

The row echelon form of a matrix has the rows consisting entirely of zeros at the bottom, and the first entry of a row that is not entirely zero is a one.

The given matrix is presented as follows;

\begin{bmatrix}-3 &6  &15  \\ 2& -6 &  4\\ 1&0  &-1  \\\end{bmatrix}

The conditions of a matrix in the row echelon form are as follows;

  1. There are row having nonzero entries above the zero rows.
  2. The first nonzero entry in a nonzero row is a one.
  3. The location of the leading one in a nonzero row is to the left of the leading one in the next lower rows.

Dividing Row 1 by -3 gives:

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2  &-5  \\ 2& -6 &  4\\ 1&0  &-1  \\\end{bmatrix}

Multiplying Row 1 by 2 and subtracting the result from Row 2 gives;

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2  &-5  \\ 0& -2 &  14\\ 1&0  &-1  \\\end{bmatrix}

Subtracting Row 1 from Row 3 gives;

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2  &-5  \\ 0& -2 &  14\\ 0&2  &4  \\\end{bmatrix}

Adding Row 2 to Row 3 gives;

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2  &-5  \\ 0& -2 &  14\\ 0&0  &18  \\\end{bmatrix}

Dividing Row 2 by -2, and Row 3 by 18 gives;

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2  &-5  \\ 0& 1 &  -7\\ 0&0  &1  \\\end{bmatrix}

The above matrix is in the row echelon form

There are 100 balloons in total the ratio between the yellow and blue balloons is 8 to 12 how many are yellow
Virty [35]

If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio.

Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication.

Finally, solve for x and if you had 100 balloons, you will have 40 yellow balloons.
