Which shows one way to determine the factors of x3 – 9x2 + 5x – 45 by grouping?

Factoring by grouping usually pairs up the first 2 sets of expressions with the second 2 sets.  Ours looks like this, then:  (x^3-9x^2)+(5x-45)=0.  If we factor out the common x-squared in the first set of parenthesis, along with factoring out the common 5 in the second set, we get this:  x^2(x-9)+5(x-9).  Now the common expression that can be factored out is the (x-9).  When we do that, here's what it looks like:  (x-9)(x^2+5).  I'm not sure how far you are going with this.  You could set each of those equal to 0 and solve for x in each case.  The first one is easy.  If x - 9 = 0, then x = 9.  The second one involves the imaginary i since x^2 = -5.  In that case,  x=i \sqrt{5},-i \sqrt{5}.  Hopefully, in what I have given you, you can find what you're looking for.

What is the slope of the line whose equation is 2x−4y=10 ?
Olenka [21]

solve for y

2x−4y=10  

-2x       -2x      subtract -2x from both sides

-4y = -2x +10

-4            -4    Divide both sides by -4 (coefficient on y)

y = -2/-4x  + 10/-4

y = 1/2x - 5/2


the slope is the number on the x (coefficient)

and its 1/2

Help me quickkkk!!<br> A = 1/2(a+b)h solve for b
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

2A/h - a = b

Step-by-step explanation:

Using A= 1/2(a+b)h

Divide both side by h

⇒A/h = 1/2(a + b)

Mutiply both sides by 2

⇒2A/h = a + b

Take the 2 over to the other side

2A/h - a = b

Keep in mind, that the (a) is not on the bottom, rather on its own
