 2x2-5x-3=0 

Two solutions were found :

 x = -1/2 = -0.500

 x = 3

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

(2x2 - 5x) - 3 = 0

Step  2  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

 2.1     Factoring  2x2-5x-3 

The first term is,  2x2  its coefficient is  2 .
The middle term is,  -5x  its coefficient is  -5 .
The last term, "the constant", is  -3 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   2 • -3 = -6 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -6  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -5 .

melisa1 [442]
The answer is C. Because it takes 5730 years for half of a sample of carbon-14 atoms to decay. It says that 50% of the carbon atoms have decayed so that means that 5730 years have elapsed for that fossil.

I hope that helps.

A young child throw a ball upwards with an initial velocity of 20 feet/second. The height of the ball (in feets) after t seconds
Levart [38]
If this is a parabolic motion equation, then it is a negative parabola, which looks like a hill (instead of a positive parabola that opens like a cup). Your equation would be h(t)= -16t^2 + 20t +3. That's the equation for an initial velocity of 20 ft/s thrown from an initial height of 3 ft. And the -16t^2 is the antiderivative of the gravitational pull. Anyway, if you're looking for the maximum height and you don't know calculus, then you have to complete the square to get this into vertex form. The vertex will be the highest point on the graph, which is consequently also the max height of the ball. When you do this, you get a vertex of (5/8, 9.25). The 9.25 is the max height of the ball.

Factor out the greatest common factor.<br> 30t2u + 12tu2 + 24tu
Alexandra [31]
First you can combine 30tu^2 and 12tu^2 because they both have tu^2

So it would be 42tu^2 + 24tu

The answer is
6tu ( 7tu + 4 )
