Mathematics

Answer:

(2x+1) (2x-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   4 • -7 = -28

Find two factors of  -28  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -12

(  -28    +    1    =    -27  

     -14    +    2    =    -12  )

Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -14  and  2  

                    4x2 - 14x + 2x - 7

Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   2x • (2x-7)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                    1 • (2x-7)

Add up the four terms :

                   (2x+1)  •  (2x-7)

Driving 70 mph, it takes Alicia 2 hours to reach the airport to go on a vacation. It then takes her 2 hours to get to her destin
OLga [1]

She drove 2 hours at 70 miles per hour, so she drove 70 * 2 = 140 miles total.

The jet traveled 400 miles per hour for 2 hours for a total of 400 * 2 = 800 miles.

Total miles = 140 + 800 = 940 miles.

The answer is C.

What is the equation of this line in slope-intercept form?
Sloan [31]

The correct answer is A) y = -3x - 1

In order to find this, start by using the two points on the line to find the slope.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-4 - 2)/(1 - -1)

m = -6/2

m = -3

Since A is the only one with a -3 slope, this is the correct answer.
