Answer:
2nd option
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3x³ - 15x² - 4x + 20
step 1 ( group the first/second and third/fourth terms )
(3x³ - 15x² ) + (- 4x + 20)
step 2 ( factor each group )
3x² (x - 5) - 4(x - 5) ← note factor of - 4 ( not + 4 )
step 3 ( factor out (x - 5) from each term )
(x - 5)(3x² - 4)
The decimal of the fraction 2/7 is 0.2857142857
If they have -8 points and +6 points, that'd leave them with a total of -2 points.
So the answer is -2.
For this problem you can do it one of two ways. The first way would be simply take the square root because the area of a square is one side squared. The other way using the same rule would be to go up from a reasonable number and square it, if that is not the number you are looking for add 1 to the original number and square it again. if you cannot square and square root in your head, you should be allowed to use a calculator to get the answer or 17 as the length of a side.
Equilateral, because the sides are equal
