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)

ASAP!! Three consecutive numbers have a sum of 156. What are the 3 numbers?
ryzh [129]

For this problem, all you need to do is find the three #'s that add up to 156.

So, lets look at the answers and add them up.

A. 50, 52, 54

50 + 52 + 54 = 156

B. 51,52,53

51 + 52 + 53 = 156

C. 49,50,51

49 + 50 + 51 = 150

D. 49,51,53

49 + 51 + 53 = 153

We get the answers (50,52,54) and (51,52,53)

Now, consecutive numbers are numbers that in order, like 1,2,3.

Therefore, the answer is (51,52,53)

Find the axis of symmetry and vertex of the following y= -2x2-3x+2
Mnenie [13.5K]
Y= -2x²-3x+2, (form y = ax² +b .x + c

The parabola opens downward & hence it's Vertex is a MAXIMUM.

We know that the axis of symmetry is -b/2a ==>3/(-4) ==>
x= - 3/4 (axis of symmetry. At x=-3/4 , y = 25/8 = 3.125

Hence the axis of symmetry is x= - 3/4 & the vertex is at (-3/4, 25/8)
