3p^2 - 7p -40

Factor -7 out of -7p and rewrite -7 as -15 +8:

3p^2 +(-15 +8)p -40

Apply distributive property:

3p^2 -15p +8p -40

Group the first two terms and the last two terms:

(3p^2 -15p) + (8p-40)

Factor out the GCF from each group:

3p(p-5) + 8(p-5)

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the GCF (p-5)

(p-5)(3p+8)

Ok so 3x-40=-120 and the middle number is -7 so the two numbers will have to multiply to -120 and add to - so those numbers would be 15 and-8 so then we will factor by parts so 3p^2+15p-8p-40 then section into brackets (3p^2+15p)(-8p-40) out of the first bracket you can factor out 3p and on the second bracket you can factor out -8 so you are left with 3p(p+5)-8(p+5) the combine 3p and -8 so (3p-8)(p+5)

The length of the diagonal of a rectangle is √181 inches. ​ ​Which statement describes the length of the diagonal?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

The correct option is (B).

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the diagonal of a rectangle is \sqrt{181} inches.

Compute the value of \sqrt{181} inches as follows:

The number 181 is not a square of a whole number.

So, the square root of 181 must lie between two whole numbers.

Consider the following squares:

12^{2}=144

13^{2}=169

14^{2}=196

It is quite clear that the 181 lies between the square of 13 and 14.

So, it can be said that the square root of 181 is between the square of 13 and 14.

Thus, the length of the diagonal of a rectangle is between 13 and 14 inches.

The correct option is (B).
