Factor 4x^2-4x-8 Please help

Mathematics

Answer:

4x² - 4x - 8 can be factored into 4(x - 2)(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can factor out 4, as all terms are divisible by that:

4x² - 4x - 8

= 4(x² - x - 2)

Now we need to find two numbers that are are factors of -2, but add up to -1.  -2 and 1 meet that condition, so let's split the middle term into those coefficients:

=4(x² + x - 2x - 2)

= 4( x(x + 1) - 2(x - 1) )

= 4(x - 2)(x + 1)

Answer:

4(x+1)x(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: factor it

4(x^2-x-2)

Step 2: re write the expression and make -x as a difference

4(x^2+x-2x-2)

Step 3: factor out x from the expression

4(x *(1+1)-2(x+1))

Step 4: factor out x+1 from the expression

4(x+1) x (x-2)

Das it hope you have a good day lol

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION PLEASE <br><br>AND SHOW YOUR STEPS PLEASE help me please
jeyben [28]

Answer:

4a)= 2.1m    4b)= 1.9 m    5)= 29.6º

Step-by-step explanation:

4a):

x is the opp

AB is the hyp

BC is the adj

thus,

sin32 = x/4

cross multiply, x= 4*sin32

x= 2.1196.......

x=2.1 m

4b).

x is the hyp

ac is the opp

bc is the adj

thus,

cos65=4.5/x

cross multiply, x= 4.5*cos65

x=1.9017....

x=1.9 m

5).

AB is the opp

bc is the adj

ac is the hyp

thus:

tanC= 2.1/3.7

C= tan^-1 (2.1/3.7)

C= 29.5778.....

C= 29.6º

a tank can hold up to 500 gallons of water.A gauge reading shows that it is at 80% of its capacity. How many more gallons can it
Paha777 [63]
So we start out by finding out what 80% of 500 is by,

500 * .80 = 400

So if 80% is 400 that means that there is still space available for 100 more gallons! 

How the heck did we know that?!? 

simple 500- 400= 100 

So that leaves us knowing that there are 100 gallons left that can be held!! :) 

                            So your answer is 100 gallons!! 

I hope that this helped!
