Factor the expression 4x^2 - 12x - 7

Mathematics
1 answer:
alexdok [17]3 years ago
7 0

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)

Draw the image of △ABC under a dilation whose center is P and scale factor is 1/2
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the point P is at the origin (0, 0).

Then the coordinates of A, B and C will be (8, 4), (-2, 2) and (4, -4) respectively.

Rule for the dilation of a point by a scale factor = k

(x, y) → (kx, ky)

If k = \frac{1}{2}

Then, A(8, 4) → A'(4, 2)

          B(-2, 2) → B'(-1, 1)

         C(4, -4) → C'(2, -2)

Now we can plot the new image with points A', B' and C'

The second and fourth selections represent a translation to the right by 1 unit. The fourth selection represents a vertical reflection about the x-axis. The picture shown can be considered to be a right translation and a vertical reflection of \sqrt[3]{x}.

The 4th selection is appropriate.
