Mathematics
1 answer:
trasher [3.6K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

(x - 1) (3 x - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

3 x^2 - 11 x + 8

Factor the quadratic 3 x^2 - 11 x + 8. The coefficient of x^2 is 3 and the constant term is 8. The product of 3 and 8 is 24. The factors of 24 which sum to -11 are -3 and -8. So 3 x^2 - 11 x + 8 = 3 x^2 - 8 x - 3 x + 8 = 3 x (x - 1) - 8 (x - 1):

3 x (x - 1) - 8 (x - 1)

Factor x - 1 from 3 x (x - 1) - 8 (x - 1):

Answer: (x - 1) (3 x - 8)

Rob notices that 55 percent of the people leaving the supermarket chhose plastic bags instead of paper bags. out of 600 people,
Temka [501]
To solve this answer, you are trying to find 55% of 600, because that is the number of people who chose plastic bag.

55% can be re-written as 55/100 OR 0.55 since percentages are always out of 100.

So, we do 0.55*600, which gives us 330. 330 people carry plastic bags.

Rhe sum of three consecutive ofd numbers is 87. What is the smallest of these numbers?
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The smallest of the said odd numbers is 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is 3 odd numbers that sums up to 87, the first thing to do is to divide 87 by 3

That is 87/3 = 29, which is an odd number

The nearest odd  numbers to 29 are 27 and 31, and the total of all these three odd numbers is 87

That is 27+29+31 = 87, which are consecutive odd numbers.

The smallest odd number here is therefore 27

To the nearest tenth, find the perimeter of ABC with vertices A(-1,4), B(-2,1) and C(2,1). show your work
liubo4ka [24]

we have to firstly apply the distance formula to find the length of sides of the triangle

distance formula = \sqrt{(x_{2} -x_{1})^2 +(y_{2}- y_{1})^2}

So length AB = \sqrt{(-2-(-1))^2+(1-4)^2}= \sqrt{1 +9}=\sqrt{10}

BC= \sqrt{(2-(-2))^2+(1-1)^2}= \sqrt{16+0}=4

AC = \sqrt{(2-(-1))^2+ (1-4)^2}= \sqrt{9+9}=\sqrt{18}=3\sqrt{2}

Now perimeter = AB+BC+AC = \sqrt{10}+4+3\sqrt{2}

Plug in calculator

perimeter= 11.4 units

The poorest person in a country has 50$ and the richest had $9.956. How much less money does the poorest have
Alecsey [184]
What you need to do is subtract since the key word "How much Less money"  is in it.

$9.956-$50 = 40.044$

10^x • 100^2x = 1000^5. Step by Step
nordsb [41]
Step one: set the base of each term to be the same (10)
(10ˣ)(10²)²ˣ = (10³)⁵
(10ˣ) (10⁴ˣ)= (10¹⁵)
10⁵ˣ = 10¹⁵
Because the indices are the same we can equate the two.
5x = 15
x = 3

Check 10⁵ˣ³ = 10¹⁵    10¹⁵=10¹⁵
