(1) Factor the GCF out of the trinomial on the left side of the equation. (2 points: 1 for the GCF, 1 for the trinomial) 2x²+6x-

20=0 (2) Factor the polynomial completely. (4 points: 2 point for each factor) (3) If a product is equal to zero, we know at least one of the factors must be zero. And the constant factor cannot be zero. So set each binomial factor equal to 0 and solve for x, the width of your project. (2 points: 1 point for each factor) (4) What are the dimensions of your project? Remember that the width of your project is represented by x. (2 points: 1 point for each dimension) thank you so much, sorry if it's a little confusing!!

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) Factor the GCF out of the trinomial on the left side of the equation. (2 points: 1 for the GCF, 1 for the trinomial) 2x²+6x-20=0

2x²+6x-20

2(x²+3x-10)

the factors are 2 and (x²+3x-10)

(2) Factor the polynomial completely. (4 points: 2 point for each factor)

2(x²+3x-10)

2(x²-2x+5x-10)

2(x(x-2) + 5(x-2))   group like terms

2(x+5)(x-2)

(3) If a product is equal to zero, we know at least one of the factors must be zero. And the constant factor cannot be zero. So set each binomial factor equal to 0 and solve for x, the width of your project. (2 points: 1 point for each factor)

constant = 2  cannot be zero

the other factors are (x+5) and (x-2)

(x+5)=0 => x= -5

or

(x-2)=0 => x=2

(4) What are the dimensions of your project? Remember that the width of your project is represented by x. (2 points: 1 point for each dimension)

thank you so much, sorry if it's a little confusing!!  

(it is indeed confusing, because physical dimensions cannot be negative)

The dimensions of the project (assumed a rectangle) are +2 and -5

A cube labeled 1 to 6, is tossed 6 times
slava [35]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

If we're assuming that this is a six-sided die, then we can find that the results can be 1,2,3,4,5,6. Only 1 of those 6 numbers are 5, so the probability of the cube landing on 5 would be 1/6.
