Is the equation like this? x^2 + 25y^2?
If the equation is like that, the answer would be (x-5y)^2 or (x-5y)(x-5y).
how did I get this? Just divide the factors or the get the square root of 25y^2 and it would be 5y. Then just try if it is positive or negative. In this case, it is negative because there is no factor w/ no exponential form. I hopemy answer helped you.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^3 is a perfect cube, 8 is a perfect cube, so we use difference of cubes.
Cube root of x^3 is x.
Cube root of 8 is 2
So
a=x
b= 2.
Set these equations equal to zero
If we do the discriminant, we get a negative answer so we would have two imaginary solutions,
Thus the only real root is 2.
If you want imaginary solutions, apply the quadratic formula.

Answer: Maximum 6 miles
Step-by-step explanation: In total you have $20.
Base fare of taxi is $5.
Per mile cost is $2.50.
Your total cost is where x is the number of miles. Since you're on a budget of maximum $20, the cost should be less than or equal to $20. We can write:
To find how many miles we can write, let's solve the inequality:
.
This means 6 is the maximum number of miles you can ride with $20.
Add all the times together:
10 + 25 + 15 = 50 minutes total.
For the ratio divide the time for weights by total time:
25/50 which reduces to 1/2
The ratio is 1/2
