Answer:

(x-3)(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

X^2-8x+15

Break the expression into groups

(x^2-3x)+(-5x+15)

Factor out x from x^2-3x

Factor out -5 from -5x+15: -5(x-3)

=x(x-3)-5(x-3)

Factor out common term x-3

=(x-3)(x-5)

Thanks for letting me help!!

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

have:

$\frac{sin}{1-cot}+\frac{cos}{1-tan}\\\\=\frac{sin}{1-\frac{cos}{sin} }+\frac{cos}{1-\frac{sin}{cos} }\\\\=\frac{sin^{2} }{sin-cos}+\frac{cos^{2} }{cos-sin} \\\\=\frac{sin^{2} }{sin-cos}-\frac{cos^{2} }{cos-sin}\\\\=\frac{sin^{2}-cos^{2} }{sin - cos}\\\\=\frac{(sin-cos)(sin+cos)}{sin-cos}\\\\=sin+cos$

What the slope formula represents

Anna [14]

The slope formula is y=mx+b. Y is a variable. m is the actual slope. It tells you how much the x will move. For example, if a slope was 2x, x would move up 2 and over 1. If the slope was 1/2 x, x would move up 1 and over 2. A way to remember slope is rise over run. X is a variable. B is a point on the y-intercept that is will the line will start. An example is y=x+3. The y-intercept is 3 and x would move up one and over one.

Solve the following equation -6p+7=3(2p-3)-4(-10+4p) a.p=6 b.p=5 c.p=7 d.p=12

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Solve for p by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
p=6
