when asked to factor the trinomial 8x2-8x-16, a student gives the answer (x-2)(x+1. What is one thing wrong with this answer?

1 answer:

5 0

One thing wrong is there is not closing parenthasees after x+1
and also, if you multiply it out, the answer is not 8x^2-8x-16 so the factored form given is worng

the real factored out form is 8(x-2)(x+1)
that person forgot the 8 in the front

The rectangle shown is dilated by a scale factor of 1/5

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

A'B'= 3 cm and B'D' = 1.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we are told that the scale factor = 1/5

Now,we know that If the scale factor is less than 1, then the dilation is a reduction.

Thus, in this question the dilation is a reduction.

For us to calculate the dimensions of the dilated rectangle, we'll multiply the original dimensions by the scale factor

Thus;

A'B' = AB(1/5)

A'B' = 15(1/5) = 3 cm

B'D' = BD(1/5) = 8(1/5) = 1.6 cm

Thus, The length of each side of the dilated rectangle are;

A'B'= 3 cm and B'D' = 1.6 cm

How can you tell if an ordered pair (x,y) is a solution or a system of linear equations?

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

you will know because it you do the system of whatever thingy and there are no two dots in the same row and the line is straight in either a negative or positive slope at a diagonal the equation is linear and its a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The image is an example of a linear equation that is both a function and positive lenear
