For this case we have the following polynomial:

We make the following change of variables:

Rewriting we have

Factoring the second order polynomial we have:

Then, returning the change we have:

Finally, we factor the expression in the parentheses of the second term:

Answer:
the completely factored form is:

Answer:
x squared plus two times x minus one = zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
(This is a Quadratic equation in the variable x).
No because when you cross multiply 9/24 has a bigger number
Answer: actual length = 45 ft
Explanation:
Scale drawn:
1/2 inch = 5ft
Meaning that if the drawing scale is 0.5 inch then the actual bus would be 5ft.
If the length of the drawn school bus is 4 1/2 inches. We can write:
1/2 = 5
4 1/2 = x
=> x = (5 x 4 1/2)/1/2
Or x = (5 x 4.5)/0.5
x = 22.5/0.5
x = 45
Therefore the actual length of the bus is 45 ft
