3x^2+5x+2 factor the expression

Mathematics
1 answer:
katrin [286]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One factor must end in 2 and the other in 1, so as to get the constant term +2 of the given expression.  Possible roots are plus or minus 1, 2, 1/3 (for starts).

Use synthetic division to determine whether a possible root actually is a root.  If we choose to check out 1/3 as a possible root, we'd use:

1/3    /     3     5     2

                      1     2

      ----------------------

              3       6    4  Since the remainder is not zero, 1/3 is not a root.

Apply the quadratic formula.  Here a  = 3, b = 5 and c = 2, so the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or 25 - 4(3)(2) = 25 - 24 = 1, and the roots are

      -5 ± √1

x = ------------- = -6/6 (or -1) and -4/6 = -2/3

            6

Back to synthetic division:

-2/3   /     3    5    2

                     -2   -2

               -------------------

                3    3      0  (Remainder is zero).

Since -2/3 is a root, (3x + 2) is a factor.  The coefficients of the quotient

(found immediately above) are 3  3, indicating a factor of 3(x + 1).

Answer:

54°

Step-by-step explanation:

Your triangle is isosceles. You have been given the third angle, and you have been asked to find the measure of one of the two equal angles. We know that the internal angles of a triangle sum to 180, so 72+x+x=180 \rightarrow 2x=108 \rightarrow x = 54

Maggie drew triangle and then triangle . Triangle is congruent to triangle only if ∠ is equal to what value?
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Angle ABE = 58

Step-by-step explanation:

This would fulfill the AAA theorem, or 3 angles needing to be congruent. We got 58 by subtracting 89 and 62 from 180, then multiplying that answer by 2 (because it occupies both triangles).

How to tell if an equation is linear or nonlinear?
gogolik [260]
A linear equation will contain  a term in x  has the highest degree.  For example  y = 2x - 5 . A non linear will contain terms with exponents 2 or higher 
eg x^2 - 2x - 5  is nonlinear.
