Answer: $5x^2y - 30xy^2 - 35y^3=5y(x+y)(x-7y)$

Step-by-step explanation:

GCF = Greatest common factor.

For example: 6 is the GCF of 12 and 18.

The given expression: $5x^2y - 30xy^2 - 35y^3$

It can be written as

$5x^2y - (5\times6)x( y\times y) - (5\times7)(y^2\times y)$

Taking out common factor $5y$ , we get

$5y(x^2-6xy-7y^2)\\\\ =5y(x^2+xy-7xy-7y^2)\ \ [\because-6xy=xy-7xy]\\\\=5y(x(x+y)-7y(x+y))\\\\= 5y((x+y)(x-7y))\\\\=5y(x+y)(x-7y)$

Hence, $5x^2y - 30xy^2 - 35y^3=5y(x+y)(x-7y)$

Find the 110 term of the sequence -7, 3, 13, 23, ...

Evgesh-ka [11]

First, find the nth term
To do this, find the term to term difference...
A
-7 and 3 = 10
3 and 13 = 10
13 and 23 = 10

As the difference is 10, we now write out the 10 times table

10, 20, 30, 40

The next step is to work out how to get from the sequence to the 10x table
B
-7 - 10 = -17
3 - 20 = -17
13 - 30 = -17
23 - 40 = -17

Now use the answer from each section in the general formula
x = An + B
This could also be written as ?n + ?
Using our numbers, this becomes 10n - 17

Now use the formula to work out the 110th term
(10 x 110) - 17
1100 - 17 = 1083

What is the length of bd?

Blizzard [7]

12. Since the length of DC is half of 10, which is 5 and using Pythagorean, it can be said 13^2 = x^2 + 5^2 so x^2 is 144

What is the area of this polygon?

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

<h2>39 units</h2>

Solution,

Total area=Area of ABCD+ Area of triangle ADE

 $(ab \times bc) + \frac{1}{2} \times ad \times ef \\ = (5 \times 6) + \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 3 \\ = 30 + 9 \\ = 39 \: {units}^{2}$ 

hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
