For this case we must factor the following expression:
We rewrite the middle term as a sum of two terms whose product is
And whose sum is
These numbers are:
-5 and -3
So:
We factor the maximum common denominator of each group:
We take common factor
Answer:
That would be :
4x – 10 = x2 – 5x + 10 ( y = 4x - 10 is substitute for y)
PROOF: y + 5x = x²<span> + 10
</span> (4x - 10) + 5x = x² + 10
4x - 10 = x² -5x + 10
<span>
</span>0 = x2 – 9x + 20<span> (liked terms are grouped and simplified)
PROOF: </span> 4x - 10 = x² -5x + 10
4x = x² -5x + 10 + 10
0 = x² -5x -4x + 20
0 = x² - 9x + 20
Solving:
x² - 9x + 20 = 0
x² - 5x - 4x + 20 = 0
(x - 5) (x - 4) = 0
⇒ x = 4 (as question says) OR x = 5
Easy the answer is B: 17 and one-third
Answer:
B. 1296 m^3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the volume of a square pyramid, multiply the base by itself twice, then divide the height by 3. After getting both answers, multiply the answers.
In this case, the base is 18.
The height is 12.
First, we must multiply the base by itself twice.
18⋅18 = 324.
Next, divide the height by 3.
12/3 = 4.
Now that we have both answers, we multiply them.
324 ⋅ 4 = 1,296.
Therefore, 1,296 cm^3 is the volume of the square pyramid.
