Which of the binomials below is a factor of this trinomial x^2+4x-60

1 answer:

6 0

Suppose x-6 is listed as a possible answer. That is zero if x = 6. So put x=6 into the original x^2 + 4x - 60 to get 6^2 + 4*6 - 60 = 36 + 24 -60 = 0. hence x-6 is a factor.

Answer (x-6)

on this hand :x-5 is not a factor, because plugging x=5 into does not work.

The gas tank of a 2013 Honda Accord holds 17.2 gallons. How many pounds of carbon dioxide are produced by burning an entire tank

cricket20 [7]

One gallon of gasoline (6.3 lbs.) produces about 20 lbs. of carbon dioxide. This may seem weird and untrue, however, most of that weight comes from the oxygen in the air. Following the math on this means that we multiply 17.2 gallons of gas by 20 lbs. of co2 per gallon of gas burned.
This gives us the answer of 344 lbs. of carbon dioxide burned per tank of gas. (From a 2013 Honda Accord)

Which statements about the system are true?

Kruka [31]

2 Answers:

B) The lines are parallel
C) The lines have the same slope.

Parallel lines always have equal slope, but different y intercepts.

==========================================================

Explanation:

Let's solve the second equation for y

3y - x = -7

3y = -7+x

3y = x-7

y = (x-7)/3

y = x/3 - 7/3

y = (1/3)x - 7/3

The equation is in y = mx+b form with m = 1/3 as the slope and b = -7/3 as the y intercept. We see that the first equation, where y was already isolated, also has a slope of m = 1/3. The two equations of this system have the same slope. Choice C is one of the answers.

However, they don't have the same y intercept. The first equation has y intercept b = -4, while the second has b = -7/3. This means that they do not represent the same line. They need to have identical slopes, and identical y intercepts (though the slope can be different from the y intercept of course) in order to have identical lines. So we can rule out choice D and E because of this.

Because the two equations have the same slope, but different y intercepts, this means the lines are parallel. Choice B is the other answer.

Parallel lines never touch or intersect, which in turn means there is no solution point. A solution point is where the lines cross. We can rule out choice A.

I recommend using your graphing calculator, Desmos, GeoGebra, or any graphing tool (on your computer or online) to graph each equation given. You should see two parallel lines forming. I used GeoGebra to make the graph shown below.
