Answer:

-(x - 4)^2

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1.

-x^2 + 8x - 16 =

First, factor -1 out of all terms. It can be written as simply a negative sign to the left of parentheses.

= -(x^2 - 8x + 16)

Now we factor the trinomial. We are told it is the square of a binomial.

x^2 is the square of x. 16 is the square of 4 and of -4. Since the middle term is negative, as in -8x, we need -4.

= -(x - 4)^2

Problem 2.

0.48xy + 36y^2 + 0.16x^2 =

First, rearrange the terms in order: x^2, xy, y^2.

= 0.16x^2 + 0.48xy + 36y^2

All terms are positive, so we only need the positive square roots.

The first term of the binomial is the square root of 0.16x^2, so it is 0.4x.

The second term of the binomial is the square root of 36y^2, so it is 6y.

= (0.4x + 6y)^2

As you pointed out, this gives 0.16x^2 + 4.8xy + 36x^2, which is not the original trinomial. The given trinomial is not the square of a binomial, and the problem is incorrect.

Factor 0.16x^2 + 0.48xy + 36y^2

0.16x^2 + 0.48xy + 36y^2 =

= 0.16(x^2 + 3xy + 225y^2)

For x^2 + 3xy + 225y^2 to factor as the square of a binomial, the middle term would have to be 2 * x * 15y = 30xy. The middle term is 1/10 of that, 3xy. This trinomial is not the square of a binomial.

Blake and his brother are participating in their school’s food drive. Blake has collected 6 1/3 pounds of food and his brother h
sergejj [24]

They will need 2 5/12 more pounds to reach their goal.

<h3>Sum and difference of fractions</h3>

Given the following information as shown:

  • Amount Blake collected = 6 1/3 pounds
  • Amount his brother collected = 5 3/4 pounds

If their goal is to collect 14 1/2 pounds of food by the end of the month, the remaining food they need to collect will be expressed as:

y =14 1/2 - (6 1/3 + 5 3/4)

y = 14 1/2 - (19/3  + 23/4)

y = 29/2 - (76+69/12)

y = 29/2 - (145/12)

y = 174-145/12

y = 29/12

y = 2 5/12

Hence they will need 2 5/12 more pounds to reach their goal.

Walter’s history test scores and Janine’s history test scores are shown on the dot plot below.
Usimov [2.4K]
Hiya!

Right now, both of their medians are 86. This means that both will get the same median if a 65 was added.

I believe A.) would be the correct answer, given it's pretty far away from 83 or 84. My second answer would be B.), but I'm not sure.

If you found this especially helpful, I'd appreciate if you'd vote me Brainliest for your answer. I want to be able to assist more users one-on-one! :)

7x² + 6x - 1<br> Algebra 3|factoring
GaryK [48]

Answer:

(7 x - 1) (x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

7 x^2 + 6 x - 1

Factor the quadratic 7 x^2 + 6 x - 1. The coefficient of x^2 is 7 and the constant term is -1. The product of 7 and -1 is -7. The factors of -7 which sum to 6 are -1 and 7. So 7 x^2 + 6 x - 1 = 7 x^2 + 7 x - x - 1 = (7 x - 1) + x (7 x - 1):

(7 x - 1) + x (7 x - 1)

Factor 7 x - 1 from (7 x - 1) + x (7 x - 1):

Answer: (7 x - 1) (x + 1)
