Factor completely 4а^2 - 8а - 5

Mathematics
1 answer:
Evgesh-ka [11]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

(2a + 1)(2a - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4a² - 8a - 5

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the a² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the a- term

product = 4 × - 5 = - 20 and sum = - 8

The factors are + 2 and - 10

Use these factors to split the a- term

4a² + 2a - 10a - 5 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 2a(2a + 1) - 5(2a + 1) ← factor out (2a + 1) from each term

= (2a + 1)(2a - 5)

Yeast , a key ingredient bread , thrives within the temperature range of 90° F to 95°F . Write and graph an inequality that repr
NeX [460]

Answer:

Please find attached the required graph of the inequality representing the temperatures yeast will NOT thrive

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The temperature range, y, in which yeast thrives is 90°F ≤ y ≤ 95°F

Therefore, the temperature range, y', in which yeast will not thrive is 90°F > y  and y > 95°F

The graph of the inequality that represents the temperature is therefore given as shown in the attached drawing.

Stella graphs the equation y=1/3x – 2
faltersainse [42]

we have

y=\frac{1}{3}x-2

<u>Statements</u>

<u>case A)</u> The graph is a straight line.

The statement is True

Because, this is a linear equation (see the attached figure)

<u>case B)</u> The line passes through the origin.

The statement is False

Because the point (0,0) is not a solution of the equation

Verify

Substitute the value of x and y in the equation

0=\frac{1}{3}*0-2

0=-2 ------> is not true

the point (0,0) is not a solution

therefore

The line does not pass through the origin

<u>case C)</u> The line passes through the point  (0,-2)

The statement is True

Because the point (0,-2) is a solution of the equation

Verify

Substitute the value of x and y in the equation

-2=\frac{1}{3}*0-2

-2=-2 ------> is true

the point (0,-2) is a solution

therefore

The line passes through the point (0,-2)

<u>case D) </u>The slope of the line is 3

The statement is False

Because, the slope of the line is m=\frac{1}{3}

<u>case E)</u> The y-intercept of the line is 2

The statement is False

we know that

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

so

For x=0

find the value of y

y=\frac{1}{3}*0-2=-2

the y-intercept is equal to -2

the home of bill burton is assessed at $91,000. the tax rate is 18.5 mills. what is the property tax on bills home?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

  $1683.50

Step-by-step explanation:

You are expected to know that a "mill" is one thousandth of a dollar. In this context, it is the amount of tax on one dollar of assessed valuation. So, the tax amount is found by multiplying the valuation by 18.5/1000:

  tax = 0.0185 · $91,000 = $1683.50
