Answer:

(x-2)(x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

idk how to explain but..

First find two factors that make x^2 which is x and x: (x ?)(x ?)

Then because the last number is (-)10, you now know that there is a positive and negative symbol: (x + ?)(x-?)

Lastly, you have to find two factors of 10 that when subtracted equal to positive 3. A +5 and -2 when multiplied will equal to -10, and when subtracted will make +3. Then you can use the FOIL method to double check. im sorry.. ive never done this before lolol

when foiled: x^2 + 5x -2x - 10; x^2+3x-10

Factor : x^2+3x-10

Answer = (x - 2)(x + 5)

Explanation:

Y = x^2 + 3x - 10.

Find 2 numbers knowing sum (3) and product (-10).

Factor pairs of (-10) -> (-1, 10)(-2, 5). This sum is 3 = b. The 2 numbers are: -2 and 5.

y = (x - 2)(x + 5).

. Write the following exponential expressions as equivalent radical expressions. <br> a. 2^(1 /2)

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

So $2^{\frac{1}{2}}$ will be equivalent to $\sqrt{2}$ in radical form

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given expression $2^{\frac{1}{2}}$

We have to write this in radical form

We know that if any fraction is in exponential form then if we write this in radical form then in radical form the exponent come inverse of its number

So $2^{\frac{1}{2}}$ can be written in radical form as $\sqrt{2}$

So $2^{\frac{1}{2}}$ will be equivalent to $\sqrt{2}$ in radical form

Which of the following equations is an example of inverse variation between variables x and y ?

Mademuasel [1]

The option C) y = 15/x

a) y = 15 x is an example of direct variation, with proportionality constant = 15

b) is an example of linear variation (it is the equation of a straight line that does not pass through the origin)

c) y = 15/x => y*x = 15 = constant which is the characteristic of an inverse relation

d) y = x/15 is an example of an inverse relation, with proportion constant = 1/15

A professor would like to test the hypothesis that the average number of minutes that a student needs to complete a statistics e

professor190 [17]

Answer:

$\chi^2 =\frac{15-1}{25} 16 =8.96$

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df = n-1 = 15-1=14$

The p value for this case would be given by:

$p_v =P(\chi^2$

Since the p value is higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviation is not ignificantly lower than 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:
