The first step when factoring any polynomial is to factor out the GCF. The GCF is the greatest common factor for all the terms of the polynomial. By factoring out the GCF first, the coefficients and constant term of the polynomial will be reduced.

<span>If there is a common factor, factor out the GCF. </span>The first step in factoring any polynomial is to determine whether the terms of the polynomial have a greatest common factor. If yes, factor it out first.

Barry is trying to calculate the distance between point E(3, 1) and point F(4, 7). Which of the following expressions will he us

Masteriza [31]

Barry will use the distance formula:
d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]
d = √[(4 - 3)² + (7 - 1)²]
d = 6.08 units

The generic equation of the line is:

$H-H0 = m (T-T0)$

Where,

m: slope of the line

(T0, H0): ordered pair belonging to the line.

The slope of the line is:

$m =\frac{H2-H1}{T2-T1}$

Substituting values we have:

$m =\frac{15-17}{5-3}$

Rewriting:

$m =\frac{-2}{2}$

$m = -1$

Then, choosing an ordered pair we have:

$(T0, H0) :( 5, 15)$

Substituting values we have:

$H-15=-(T-5)$

Rewriting the equation:

$H-15=-T+5$

$H=-T+5+15$

$H=-T+20$

Then, for 8 hours we have:

$H=-8+20$

$H=12$

Answer:

a linear equation to model the relationship between height H of the candle, and T time is:

$H=-T+20$

the candle will be 12 inches after burning 8 hours

PLZZ HELP I’m bad at math.

Answer:

y< $\frac{-1}{3}$ x+1 is inequality shown on graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph shows representation of inequality,

Here, Line passes through points say, A(3,0) and B(0,1)

The slope of line is given by m= $\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}$

m= $\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}$

m= $\frac{1-0}{0-3}$

m= $\frac{-1}{3}$

and Y-intercept is c=1

The equation of line is given by y=mx+c

y= $\frac{-1}{3}$ x+1 is equation of line in graph.

To decide which side you are going to shaded area on the graph

Take test of origin.

If (0,0) is statisfy the equation then, shaded the graph towards the origin.

Let suppose,

Take, y< $\frac{-1}{3}$ x+1

0< $\frac{-1}{3}$ (0)+1

0<1

TRUE,

Therefore, y< $\frac{-1}{3}$ x+1 is inequality shown on graph.

Han and Tyler both started walking toward each other from opposite ends of a 18-mile path. Han walks at a pace of 4 miles per ho

Allisa [31]

First, you can add up 4+2 to get 6 because they’re both rates.

Next, divide 18 by 6 and you get 3.

So, it will take three hours for the boys to meet up.

One way to check your answer is to multiply 4x3=12 and 2x3=6 and 12+6 is 18.
