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)

If a person can see 6 miles from a height of 25 feet, how far can a person see from a height of 196 feet?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

47,04 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

you can clearly see something 20 feet away that you should be able to see from that distance. If a person can see 6 miles from a height of 25 feet, by dividing 196 by 25 we can get the following calculation

196 ÷ 25 = 7,84

Then you gan multiply

7,84 × 6 = 47,04 miles

Or equal to 75703,542 meters
