Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
Factoring <span> b2-4b+4</span>
The first term is, <span> <span>b2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -4b </span> its coefficient is <span> -4 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> +4 </span>
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> 1 • 4 = 4</span>
Step-2 : Find two factors of 4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is <span> -4 </span>.
<span><span> </span></span>
<span><span>-4 + -1 = -5</span><span> -2 + -2 = -4 That's it</span></span>
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -2 and -2
<span>b2 - 2b</span> - 2b - 4
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
b • (b-2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (b-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(b-2) • (b-2)
Which is the desired factorization
Answer:
90 stamps from Canada, 108 stamps from the United States, and 135 stamps from the Rest of the World
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a problem of proportion we can use the Rule of three to solve this. We do this by multiplying the diagonal available values and dividing by the third value in order to get the missing variable, which in this case would be the number of stamps in the other country. Like so...
1.5 <=====> 135 stamps
1.2 <=====> x stamps (United States)
(1.2 * 135) / 1.5 = 108 stamps (United States)
1.5 <=====> 135 stamps
1 <=====> x stamps (Canada)
(1 * 135) / 1.5 = 90 stamps (Canada)
Finally, we can see that Katie had 90 stamps from Canada, 108 stamps from the United States, and 135 stamps from the Rest of the World. All creating a ratio or 1:1.2:1.5
To find the graph of f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3, you can either plug in values into where the x variable stands and solve for their corresponding y-values or you can also use your graphing calculator or even Desmos works!
Answer:
a = ln(60)
Step-by-step explanation:
What ever number A is, it is going to be less than whatever number B is.
