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

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 114. what is the smallest of the three numbers?

saul85 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's let n be any number.

If we multiply n by 2, we get 2n. Since anything multiplied by 2 is even, 2n <em>must</em> be even. Therefore, let 2n be our first number.

So, the consecutive even number will be (2n+2) followed by (2n+4).

We know that their sum must be 114. Therefore, we can write the following equation:

$(2n)+(2n+2)+(2n+4)=114$

Solve for n. Combine like terms on the left:

$6n+6=114$

Subtract 6 from both sides:

$6n=108$

Finally, divide both sides by 6. Therefore, the value of n is:

$n=108/6=18$

Therefore, our first even number is 2n or 2(18) which equates to 36.

And the consecutive even numbers will be 38 and 40.

So, the smallest of them, the first term, is 36.

I need help with this problem right away please.

Answer:

y= -1/9(x-1)^2 +2

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex is at (1,2) and another point is at (-2,1).

We know the vertex form of a parabola is

y= a(x-h)^2 +k where (h,k) is the vertex

Substituting the vertex in

y= a(x-1)^2 +2

We have another point, (-2,1)

Substitue this in with x=-2 and y =1. This will let us find a

1 = a(-2-1)^2 +2

1 = a (-3)^2 +2

1 = a*9 +2

Subtract 2 from each side

1-2 = 9a +2-2

-1 = 9a

Divide by 9

-1/9 = 9a/9

-1/9 =a

Putting this back into the equation

y= -1/9(x-1)^2 +2

Answer:

5 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial speed = 6 m/ min

Final speedd = 4 m/ min

$Average\:speed\:=\:\dfrac{total\:speed}{2}$

Average speed = $\dfrac{ 6 + 4}{2}$

Avg. Speed = 5 m / min.

What pair of numbers is relatively prime

Leona [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two integers are relatively prime (or coprime) if there is no integer greater than one that divides them both (that is, their greatest common divisor is one). For example, 12 and 13 are relatively prime, but 12 and 14 are not.
