Answer:

a = 4 and b = - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the left side and compare like terms on both sides, that is

(x + 2)(x - 3)(x + 5) ← expand the first pair of factors using FOIL

= (x² - x - 6)(x + 5) ← distribute

= x³ + 5x² - x² - 5x - 6x - 30 ← collect like terms

= x³ + 4x² - 11x - 30

Compare like terms with x³ +ax² - 11x + b

4x² and ax² ⇒ a = 4

+ b and - 30 ⇒ b = - 30

Laura and Brent paddled a canoe 6 miles upstream in four hours. The return trip took three hours. Find the rate at which Laura a
mixas84 [53]
Call the rate in still water vs;
upstream you have: vs-v=6/4
downstram you have: vs+v=6/3
where v is the rate with which the river flows.
rearranging:
vs-v=3/2
vs+v=2
from the second you have v=2-vs substitute into the first:
vs-2+vs=3/2
2vs=7/2
vs=7 mi/hr

Questions<br> E<br> Given EA = 8 and AT = 10<br> Find ET
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

ET = 80/A^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, isolate the variables that you need, which is E and T, using the two equations you were given.

EA = 8

E = 8/A (divide A on both sides to isolate E)

AT = 10

T = 10/A (divide A on both sides to isolate T)

Now, substitute.

ET --> (8/A) x (10/A) = 80/A^2

Help find the volume of this equation
Liula [17]

Always know the formula for volume prism because that shape is a prism.

Formula For PRISM: BH/2 x Height.

So then we are going to solve the triangle first... 7 x 22= 154/2= 77

Then multiply by the height which is 25.

77 x 25= 1,925.

So your answer should be 1,925 meters cubed. *Don't forget to write the measurement

*hope this helps
