Perhaps the most concise way to factor is by "completing the square" which is how the quadratic formula is derived...
x^2+6x+8=0 move constant to other side, subtract 8 from both sides
x^2+6x=-8, halve the linear coefficient, square it, then add that to both sides, in this case (6/2)^2=3^2=9
x^2+6x+9=1 now the left side is a perfect square of the form
(x+3)^2=1 take the square root of both sides
x+3=±√1 subtract 3 from both sides
x=-3±√1
x=-3±1
x=-4 and -2
Since the zeros occur when x=-4 and -2 the factors of the equation are:
(x+2)(x+4)
Answer:
4/7
Step-by-step explanation:
if you add the 3 and the 1 it makes 4, since the denominators are the same you don't add them you keep them the same
Answer:
Radiation 1- Function
Radiation 2- Not a function
Radiation 3- function
Radiation 4- function
Answer:
4(y-7)
Step-by-step explanation:
factor the polynomial 4y-28 hi it's GCF: 4
1 yard = 3 feet
Divide 34 by 3, you should get 11 and 1/3.
So the classroom is 11 1/3 yards long, but 1/3 of a yard just so happens to be one foot, as 3 feet is 1 yard.
That means that the classroom is 11 yards and 1 foot long, or answer choice B.
Hope this helps! :)
