Factor 4n^2 - 5n -6​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Allushta [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

(n-2) • (4n+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

4n2-5n-6  

Final result :

 (n - 2) • (4n + 3)

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 (22n2 -  5n) -  6

Step  2  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     Factoring  4n2-5n-6  

The first term is,  4n2  its coefficient is  4 .

The middle term is,  -5n  its coefficient is  -5 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -6  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   4 • -6 = -24  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -24  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -5 .

     -24    +    1    =    -23  

     -12    +    2    =    -10  

     -8    +    3    =    -5    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -8  and  3  

                    4n2 - 8n + 3n - 6

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   4n • (n-2)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   3 • (n-2)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (4n+3)  •  (n-2)

            Which is the desired factorization

Final result :

 (n - 2) • (4n + 3)

-45 -45
-7x-18=9x-14x
+7x +7x
-18=9x+7x-14x

Answer:

Its 9.0 units

Step-by-step explanation:

For the side mostly to the left, its gonna be 3 units, since we can easlily count it

Now, for the diagonals, we have to use the formula for the area of a triangle, which is (l * w) / 2 = a.

For the bottom side, its 3 along the x axis and 1 along the y axis. 3 * 1 is 3, now divide that by 2 and you got 1.5

Now, for the right side, its 5 on the y, 1 on the x. Multiply 1 by 5, you got 5. Now divide that by 2 and you have 2.5

Finally, for the top side, its 4 on the x, and 1 on the y. 4 * 1 is 4, divided by 2 and its 2.

Alright, now we have to add 'em all together. 3 + 1.5 + 2.5 + 2 is 9 units

Theres your answer :)
