16x 2 + 8x - 15 Mathematics?

1 answer:

5 0

If you're factoring, your answer is

(4x - 3)(4x + 5)

You'll work it out this way:

16x^2 + 8x - 15

Since there's no GCF here, you multiply the first and third terms, giving you -240. Your next step is to find two numbers that have a sum of 8 and a product of -240. These numbers are 20 and -12. Plug those in and you've got:

16x^2 + 20x - 12x - 15

From here you divide it into two binomials. These are (16x^2 + 20x) and (-12x - 15).
When you take out the greatest common factors (4x and -3), they become:

4x(4x + 5) - 3(4x + 5)

Then you group what's outside of the parentheses together (4x - 3)
And bring what's inside of the parentheses down (4x + 5).
This brings your answer to

(4x - 3)(4x + 5)

Can a triangle be formed with side lengths: 10, 12, 22

Elenna [48]

No. A squared plus b squared must equal c squared (Pythagorean theorem). 10 squared is 100, 12 squared is 144, they add up to 244 but 22 squared is 484…..much too large

For #61, What operations should I use?

kolbaska11 [484]

There would be 432 trading cards. I know because to find the total number of cards you have to multiply 12*36 because on one pack there are 12 trading cards and you have 36 packs.12*36=432
There are 72 stickers because to find the total number of stickers you multiply 2*36 or 36*2 which equals 72
Trading cards =432
Stickers =72

There are 36 flowers in a bouquet. Two-thirds if the flowers are roses. One-fourth of the roses are red. What percent of the bou

s2008m [1.1K]

2/3 are roses
1/4 of the 2/3 are red

1/4 * 2/3 = 2/12 = 1/6

One-fourth of two-thirds is one-sixth.
Now we need to change 1/6 into a percent.

1 is to 6 as x is to 100.

1/6 = x/100

6x = 1 * 100

6x = 100

x = 100/6

x = 16 2/3

Answer: 16 2/3%

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible outcome of football game is truly (Win lose or draw), hence, if the outcome only depends on just that one team, then the probability of winning is (required / total possible outcomes ; = 1/3). However, in football a game is played with an opposition team, of which there is a lot to consider in other to arrive at a winning probability, one is the relative strength of the teams, result of past meetings and so on. Hence, concluding that the probability of wining a football match is 1/3 based on the possible outcome (Win, lose or draw) is wrong.
