A² - 2a - 15
= a² - 5a + 3a - 15
= a(a-5) + 3(a-5)
= (a-5)(a+3)

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope Intercept form.
andre [41]

Answer:

y = -0.83x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y = mx+b.

M is the slope: In this case the slope (rise/run) is 10/12. However, the slope is decreasing is that would make it negative.

Now we have: y = -0.83x + b

B represents the y-intercept. The y-intercept here is -2. So our final equation is:

y = -0.83x - 2

10 is 5% of what number
GarryVolchara [31]
We can use proportion to get the result
10 ----------- 5%
x ------------- 100%
Crossmultiply proportion

5*x=10*100
5x=1000     /:5 divide both sides by 5
x=1000:5

A collection of 19 coins consisting of nickels and dimes is worth $1.35. How many dimes are there
pshichka [43]

Answer:

There are 8 dimes there.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved used a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of nickels.

y is the number of dimes.

19 coins

This means that x + y = 19.

A nickel is worth $0.05. A dime is worth $0.1. The total of these coins is $1.35. So

0.05x + 0.1y = 1.35

How many dimes are there?

We have to find y.

From the first equation: x = 19 - y.

Replacing in the second:

0.05(19 - y) + 0.1y = 1.35

0.95 - 0.05y + 0.1y = 1.35

0.05y = 0.4

y = 0.4/0.05

y = 8

There are 8 dimes there.

1 1/5 + 3/4 - (-3 3/5) - (-2 1/4)
babymother [125]

Step-by-step explanation:

= 1 \frac{1}{5}  +  \frac{3}{4}  - ( - 3 \frac{3}{5} ) - ( - 2 \frac{1}{4} )

= 1 \frac{1}{5}  +  \frac{3}{4}  + 3 \frac{3}{5}  + 2 \frac{1}{4}

= (1 + 3 + 2) + ( \frac{1}{5} +  \frac{3}{4} +  \frac{3}{5}   +  \frac{1}{4}  )

= 6 + ( \frac{4 + 15 + 12 + 5}{20} )

=  6 +  \frac{36}{20}

= 1 + 6 +  \frac{16}{20}

= 7 +   \frac{4}{5}

= 7 \frac{4}{5}

How are the units of measurement called radiance related to the radius of a circle?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

By definition, considering a unit circle (circle centered at origin and of radius 1) the length of an arc is equal to the measurement in radians (the SI unit for measuring angles) of the angle that it subtends (to be opposite to). The length of the arc is equal to the radius of the circle.
