Answer:

2(x-5)(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 − 2x − 40

Factor out a 2

2(x^2 -x -20)

What 2 numbers multiply to -20 and add to -1

-5*4 = -20

-5+4 = -1

2(x-5)(x+4)

Which polynomial is a perfect square trinomial? (4 points) 9x2 − 12x + 4 36b2 − 24b + 16 16x2 − 24x − 9 4a2 − 10a − 25ynomial is

o-na [289]

Answer:

9x² − 12x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

A perfect square trinomial:

a² + 2ab +b²= (a + b)²

a² - 2ab +b²= (a - b)²

9x² − 12x + 4 = (3x)² - 2*(3x)*2 + 2² = (3x - 2)²

36b² − 24b + 16

Make r the subject of the formula <br>v = \pi \: h {}^{2}(r - \frac{h}{3})v=πh2(r−3h) <br>

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

$\boxed{r = \frac{h}{3} + \frac{v}{\pi {h}^{2} } }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Solve \: for \: r: \\ = > v= \pi {h}^{2}(r - \frac{h}{3} ) \\ \\ v=\pi {h}^{2}(r - \frac{h}{3} )is \: equivalent \: to \: {h}^{2}\pi(r - \frac{h}{3} ) = v: \\ = > {h}^{2}\pi(r - \frac{h}{3} ) = v \\ \\ Divide \: both \: sides \: by \: \pi {h}^{2} : \\ = > r - \frac{h}{3} = \frac{v}{\pi {h}^{2} } \\ \\ Add \: \frac{h}{3} \: to \: both \: sides: \\ = > r = \frac{h}{3} + \frac{v}{\pi {h}^{2} }$
