Factors are (3x + 5) and (x - 2). Zeros are -5/3 and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given quadratic equation 3x² - x = 10 ⇒ 3x² - x - 10 = 0

Step 2: Use factoring method (product and sum rule) to find factors and zeros. So the equation can be written as below.

⇒ 3x² - 6x + 5x - 10 = 0

⇒ 3x(x - 2) + 5(x - 2) = 0

⇒ (3x + 5)(x - 2) = 0 These are the factors of the equation.

Step 3: Find zeros by equating the factors to 0.

⇒ 3x + 5 = 0 and x - 2 = 0

⇒ x = -5/3 and 2

On a linear X temperature scale, water freezes at −115.0°X and boils at 325.0°X. On a linear Y temperature scale, water freezes

belka [17]

Answer:

The current temperature on the X scale is 1150 °X.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let is determine first the ratio of change in X linear temperature scale to change in Y linear temperature scale:

$r = \frac{\Delta T_{X}}{\Delta T_{Y}}$

$r = \frac{325\,^{\circ}X-(-115\,^{\circ}X)}{-25\,^{\circ}Y - (-65.00\,^{\circ}Y)}$

$r = 11\,\frac{^{\circ}X}{^{\circ}Y}$

The difference between current temperature in Y linear scale with respect to freezing point is:

$\Delta T_{Y} = 50\,^{\circ}Y - (-65\,^{\circ}Y)$

$\Delta T_{Y} = 115\,^{\circ}Y$

The change in X linear scale is:

$\Delta T_{X} = r\cdot \Delta T_{Y}$

$\Delta T_{X} = \left(11\,\frac{^{\circ}X}{^{\circ}Y} \right)\cdot (115\,^{\circ}Y)$

$\Delta T_{X} = 1265\,^{\circ}X$

Lastly, the current temperature on the X scale is:

$T_{X} = -115\,^{\circ}X + 1265\,^{\circ}X$

$T_{X} = 1150\,^{\circ}X$

The current temperature on the X scale is 1150 °X.

If x-y=5 then how does y=-2x-4

mixer [17]

Based on my knowledge, you’d set both equations equal to y, and then set both sides equal to each other then solve.

y=-5+x
y=-2x-4
-5+x=-2x-4
then solve from there

(this could be completely wrong, so don’t only go by my opinion)
