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)

Use the given graph to determine the limit, if it exists. A coordinate graph is shown with a horizontal line crossing the y axis

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The limit of the function does not exists.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph it is noticed that the value of the function is 6 from all values of x which are less than 2. At x=2, the line y=6 has open circle. It means x=2 is not included.

For x<2

$f(x)=6$

The value of the function is -3 from all values of x which are greater than 2. At x=2, the line y=-3 has open circle. It means x=2 is not included.

For x>2

$f(x)=-3$

The value of y is 1 at x=2, because of he close circles on (2,1).

For x=2

$f(x)=1$

Therefore the graph represents a piecewise function, which is defined as

$f(x)=\begin{cases}6& \text{ if } x2 \end{cases}$

The limit of a function exist at a point a if the left hand limit and right hand limit are equal.

$lim_{x\rightarrow a^-}f(x)=lim_{x\rightarrow a^+}f(x)$

The function is broken at x=2, therefore we have to find the left and right hand limit at x=2.

$lim_{x\rightarrow 2^-}f(x)=6$

$lim_{x\rightarrow 2^+}f(x)=-3$

$6\neq-3$

Since the left hand limit and right hand limit are not equal therefore the limit of the function does not exists.

How much fencing does Farmer Gump need?

Agata [3.3K]

For the first field, he will need 40 m for the fence, this will cost £640 and he can have 10 sheep. For the second field, he will need 60 m for the fence, this will cost £960 and he can have 12 sheep.

<h3>What does this problem require?</h3>

This problem requires you to calculate the perimeter and area of each field and based on this information you can find the total of the fence the farmer requires, the cost, and the number of sheep.

<h3>How to calculate the perimeter?</h3>

You can calculate the perimeter by adding all the sides.

Field 1: 10m + 10m + 10m + 10m = 40 m
Field 2: 25m + 5m + 25m + 5m = 60 m

<h3>How to calculate the area?</h3>

To calculate the area, multiply the height by the width.

Field 1: 10 x 10 = 100m2
Field 2: 25 x 5 = 125m2

<h3>How much fencing does the farmer need?</h3>

The fencing needed is equal to the perimeter.

Field 1: 40 m of fencing
Field 2: 60 m of fencing

Multiply the number of meters needed by the price per meter ( £16 per meter).

Field 1: 40m x £16 per meter = £640
Field 2: 60 m x £16 per meter = £960

<h3>How many sheep can there be in each field?</h3>

To calculate this divide the area into the space required by each sheep (10m2).

Field 1: 100m2 / 10m2 = 10 sheep
Field 2: 125m2 /10m2 = 12 sheep

Note: This question is incomplete; here is the missing information:

Farmer Gump has two problems. His first problem is to work out how much fencing he needs to buy for his fields so his sheep don’t escape. His second problem is to work out how many sheep each field can hold—each sheep needs a minimum of 10m² of grass!

Sheep cost £65 each.

The fence is £16 per meter.

A plane headed due south is traveling with an airspeed of 160 miles per

lord [1]

Answer:

60 °

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying the law of sine we have the following:

160 / Sin B = 80 / Sin 30 °

We solve for B and we have:

160 / Sin B = 80 / 0.5

160 / Sin B = 160

Without B = 160/160

B = Arc Sin (1)

B = 90 °

Now to calculate the other angle (true

course) would be:

A = 180 ° - (B + C)

A = 180 ° - (90 ° + 30 °)

A = 60 °

That is to say that true course is 60 °
