5x+40 factors to 5(x+8). Notice how distributing the 5 back through to each term in the parenthesis gives
5 times x = 5x
5 times 8 = 40
So 5*(x+8) = 5*x+5*8 = 5x+40
Therefore, the factors are 5 and (x+8).
The dimensions of the sandbox are 5 feet by (x+8) feet.
We don't know the numeric value of (x+8) since we don't know the value of x, so we leave it as is.
Answer:
m=5
Step-by-step explanation:
c=30m+50
c=20m+100
substitute
20m+100=30m+50
like terms
100-50=30m-20m
50=10m
m=5
To find the zeros of this function, we must first set the entire function equal to 0
f(x) = x² - 2x - 15 = 0
Since this is a quadratic function, we must use the quadratic formula, which is:

Let's assign a, b, and c using our first function
x² means a = 1 (because it could be written as 1x²)
-2x means b = -2
-15 means c = -15
Now let's plug those in:

which simplifies to:

Simplified further:


And divide it by the 2 on the bottom gives us:

2+4 = 6
2-4 = -2
So the zeros of this function are
-2 and
6
Answer:
x ≥-1
Step-by-step explanation:
-1/2x -3 ≤ -2.5
Add 3 to each side
-1/2x -3+3 ≤ -2.5+3
-1/2x ≤ .5
Multiply each side by -2, remembering to flip the inequality
-2 * -1/2x ≥ 1/2 * -2
x ≥-1
