Example: <span>the second step in the process for factoring the trinomial x^2-3x-40 is to:</span> <span>Well you really should find the sum of the factors of −40 (not 40) </span>
<span>But before you can do that, you need to LIST the factors of −40 (not 40) </span>
<span>−1 * 40 </span>
<span>−2 * 20 </span>
<span>−4 * 10 </span>
<span>−5 * 8 </span>
<span>−8 * 5 </span>
<span>−10 * 4 </span>
<span>−20 * 2 </span>
<span>−40 * 1 </span>
<span>NOW we find the sum of the factors of −40 </span>
<span>−1 + 40 = 39 </span>
<span>−2 + 20 = 18 </span>
<span>−4 + 10 = 6 </span>
<span>−5 + 8 = 3 </span>
<span>−8 + 5 = −3 </span>
<span>−10 + 4 = −6 </span>
<span>−20 + 2 = −18 </span>
<span>−40 + 1 = −39 </span>
<span>Then we choose the factors of −40 whose sum is −3 ---> −8 and 5 </span>
<span>x^2 − 3x − 40 = (x − 8) (x + 5) </span>
<span>So FIRST step is B, SECOND step is C, and final step is factoring. </span>
What Rita did was combine these 2 steps together, which you will learn to do as you get better at factoring.
Answer: 6 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
1.5 miles wide * 1 inch / 0.25 miles = 6 inches :D
Step-by-step explanation:
4(2)² - 4 =
4(4) - 4 = 12
3(2)² - 3(4)
3(4) - 12
12 - 12 = 0.
It exceeds the value by 12 :)
Given recursive formula is
f(n) = 22 * f(n - 1)
Where first term : f(1) = 10
And we need to find the first five terms of this sequence. So , let's find the second term by plug in n = 2 in the above formula. Therefore,
f (2) = 2.2 * f ( 2 -1)
= 2.2 * f(1)
= 2.2 * 10
= 22
So second term is 22.
Similarly plug in 3 for n to get the third term. Hence,
f(3) = 2.2 * f(3 -1) = 2.2 * f(2) = 2.2 * 22= 48.4
f(4) = 2.2 *f( 4 -1) = 2.2 * f(3) = 2.2* 48.4 = 106.48
f(5) = 2.2* f(5-1)= 2.2 * f(4) = 2.2 * 106.48 = 234.256
So, the first five terms are 10, 22, 48.4, 106.48 and 234.256.
Hope this helps you!
