What are the factors of 2x^2 + 5x -12?

Mathematics

Andrews [41]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

(2x - 3) • (x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Equation at  step  1  :

 (2x2 +  5x) -  12

Step  2  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     Factoring  2x2+5x-12  

The first term is,  2x2  its coefficient is  2 .

The middle term is,  +5x  its coefficient is  5 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -12  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   2 • -12 = -24  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -24  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   5 .

-24    +    1    =    -23  

     -12    +    2    =    -10  

     -8    +    3    =    -5  

     -6    +    4    =    -2  

     -4    +    6    =    2  

     -3    +    8    =    5

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -3  and  8  

                    2x2 - 3x + 8x - 12

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   x • (2x-3)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   4 • (2x-3)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (x+4)  •  (2x-3)

            Which is the desired factorization

A chess player played 20 games total. If he won 2 of the games, what is the ratio of games he lost to games he won?
olya-2409 [2.1K]
So, we have useful information to answer this question. We know that he played 20 games and he won 2 games. To find the ratio of the games lost, we have to subtract the number of games played and the number of games won. 
20-2=18
So now we can find the ratio of games won and games lost
The answer is 18:2, 18 to 2, or 18/2.
You can also simplify the ratio to 9:1
So the final answer is 9:1

Hope this helped

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Simple random sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

Every element of the population does have an equal probability of getting chosen in a basic random sampling. The entire population should be included in your sample frame. To conduct this sort of sampling, technologies such as random numbers or other approaches relying completely on chance can be used.

Convert from rectangular to polar coordinates:Note: Choose r and θ such that r is non-negative and 0 ≤ θ &lt; 2πa. (6,0)b. (9,9/
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The polar coordinates are as follow:

a. (6,2π)

b. (18, π/3)

c. (2√2 , 3π/4)

d. (2, 5π /6)

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the rectangular coordinates into polar coordinates, we need to calculate r, θ .

To calculate r, we use Pythagorean theorem:

r = \sqrt{ x^{2} +y^{2} } ---- (1)

To calculate the θ, first we will find out the θ '  using the inverse of cosine as it is easy to calculate.

So,    θ '  = cos ⁻¹  (x/r)

If  y  ≥  0  then  θ  =  ∅

If  y  <  0  then  θ  =  2 π  −  ∅

For a. (6,0)

Sol:

Using the formula in equation (1). we get the value of r as:

r = \sqrt{6^{2} + 0^{2}  }

r = 6

And ∅  = cos ⁻¹  (x/r)

∅ = cos ⁻¹  (6/6)

∅  =cos ⁻¹   (1) = 2π

As If  y  ≥  0  then  θ  =  ∅

So ∅ = 2π

The polar coordinates are (6,2π)

For a. (9,9/\sqrt{3})

Sol:

r = 9 + 3(3) = 18

and ∅  = cos ⁻¹  (x/r)

∅ = cos ⁻¹  (9/18)

∅ = cos ⁻¹   (1/2) = π/3

As  If  y  ≥  0  then  θ  =  ∅

then θ  = π/3

The polar coordinates are (18, π/3)

For (-2,2)

Sol:

r =√( (-2)²+(2)² )

r = 2 √2

and ∅  = cos ⁻¹  (x/r)

∅ = cos ⁻¹  (-2/ 2 √2)

∅ = 3π/4

As  If  y  ≥  0  then  θ  =  ∅

then   θ  = 3π/4

The polar coordinates are (2√2 , 3π/4)

For (-√3, 1)

Sol:

r = √ ((-√3)² + 1²)

r = 2

and ∅  = cos ⁻¹  (x/r)

∅  = cos ⁻¹ ( -√3/2)

∅  = 5π /6

As  If  y  ≥  0  then  θ  =  ∅

So  θ  = 5π /6

The polar coordinates are (2, 5π /6)

motikmotik

Answer:

n = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

3 = -1.5n

Step 2: Divide both sides by -1.5

n = -2

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

3 = -1.5(-2)
