Answer:

(x + 1)(3x - 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x² - 7x - 10

Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 3 × - 10 = - 30 and sum = - 7

The factors are + 3 and - 10

Use these factors to split the x- term

3x² + 3x - 10x - 10 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

3x(x + 1) - 10(x + 1) ← factor out (x + 1) from each term

(x + 1)(3x - 10), thus

y = (x + 1)(3x - 10) ← in factored form

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

percent increase is calculated as

$\frac{increase}{original}$ × 100%

increase = $3.87 - $3.54 = $0.33 , then

% increase = $\frac{0.33}{3.54}$ × 100% ≈ 9% ( to the nearest whole percent )
