The second one or y = 7.50x

That is because the four pounds of almonds divided by thirty dollars is 7.50. So if you were to add one more pound of almonds, you would have to pay $7.50 more.

(X^2+x-6)(2x^2+4x) factor completely

MissTica

Answer:

$2x\left(x-2\right)\left(x+3\right)\left(x+2\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets go ahead and take a step by step approach to solving your problem.

First we must start by factoring $x^2+x-6$ .

To do this, we must break the expression into groups! Although I will also provide a definition to help you understand! For $ax^2+bx+c$ we need to find u, v > $u\cdot \:v=a\cdot \:c$ and $u+v=b$ which we will group into $\left(ax^2+ux\right)+\left(vx+c\right)$ .

The values we have are... $a=1,\:b=1,\:c=-6$ and $u\cdot v=-6,\:u+v=1$ .

Now we need the factors of 6 which are 1, 2, 3 and 6. We also need the negative factors which you get simply by multiplying the positives by -1 or just reversing them.

Now we need to check for every two factors if u + v = 1.

$\mathrm{Check}\:u=1,\:v=-6: \:u\cdot v=-6,\:u+v=-5 \Rightarrow \mathrm{False}$

$\mathrm{Check}\:u=2,\:v=-3: \:u\cdot v=-6,\:u+v=-1 \Rightarrow \mathrm{False}$

$\mathrm{Check}\:u=3,\:v=-2: \:u\cdot v=-6,\:u+v=1 \Rightarrow \mathrm{True}$

$\mathrm{Check}\:u=6,\:v=-1: \:u\cdot v=-6,\:u+v=5 \Rightarrow \mathrm{False}$

Therefore $u=3,\:v=-2$ .

Now we want to $\mathrm{Group\:into\:}\left(ax^2+ux\right)+\left(vx+c\right)$ . Which is $\left(x^2-2x\right)+\left(3x-6\right)$ .

Now we must factor x from $x^2-2x$ .

Lets apply the exponent rule of $a^{b+c}=a^ba^c$ which means $x^2=xx$ .

Therefore we now have xx - 2x. Lets factor out the common term of x to get x(x - 2).

Now factor 3 out of $3x-6$ .

Rewrite 6 as 3 * 2. $3x-3\cdot \:2$ .

Now factor out the common term of 3 > $3\left(x-2\right)$ .

$x\left(x-2\right)+3\left(x-2\right)$ > Factor out the common term of x - 2 > $\left(x-2\right)\left(x+3\right)$ .

Now lets factor $2x^2+4x$ .

Apply the previous exponent rule of $a^{b+c}=a^ba^c$ > $x^2=xx$ > $2xx+4x$ .

Now rewrite 4 as 2 * 2 > $2xx+2\cdot \:2x$ .

Now factor out the common term of 2x to get 2x(x + 2).

Combine it all and we get $2x\left(x-2\right)\left(x+3\right)\left(x+2\right)$ .

Hope this helps!

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (8, 1) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=−23x+5

elena-s [515]

Answer:

$y-1=\frac{1}{23} (x-8)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation of a line in 3 different forms including slope intercept, point-slope, and standard depending on the information we have. We have a point (8,1) and a slope from the equation y=-23x+5. We will chose point-slope since we have a point and slope.

Point slope: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$m\neq -23$ in our new equation because it us perpendicular to it. This means we will need to change it into its negative reciprocal which is $m=\frac{1}{23}$ .
