Hello! So, this question is in the form of ax² - bx - c. First thingd first, let's multiply a and c together. c = -8 and a = 5. -8 * 5 is -40. Now, let's find two factors that have a product of 40, but a sum of 18. If you list the factors, you see that 2 and 20 have a product of 40, but 2 - 20 is -18. The factors we will use are -2 and 20.
How to factor it:
For this question, you can use something called a box method and factor it by finding a factor of each column and row. Just make 4 boxes and put 5x² on the top left and -40 on the bottom left box. Put 2x on the top right box and -20x on the bottom left box. Now, factor out for each row and column. The factors should be 5x + 2 for the top part and x - 4 for the side. It should look like (5x + 2)(x - 4). Let's check it. Solve it by using the FOIL method and you get 5x² - 20x + 2x - 8. Combine like terms and you get 5x² - 18x - 8. There. The answer is B: (5x + 2)(x - 4)
Note: The box method may be challenging at first, but it can be really helpful on problems like these.
Answer:
42cm^3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Area of base= 14 square centimeters,
Height= 3 centimeters
Volume = Area* Height
Volume= 14*3
Volume= 42 cm^3
Hence the volume of the prism is 42cm^3
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
-7x=-2x+15
collect like terms
-7x+2x=15
-5x=15
divide both sides by -5
x=15/-5
x=-3
is median a. 40 )(is min b. 34 )(c. 49 or 48 q3
Answer:
26.4
Step-by-step explanation:
95-14.4-27.8=52.8
52.8/2=26.4
