Answer:

  (x +10)(x -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare the factored and expanded forms:

  (x +p)(x +q) = x^2 +(p+q)x +pq = x^2 +6x -40

That is, the constants in the binomial factors will be factors of -40 that have a sum of 6. This is where your knowledge of multiplication tables is helpful.

  -40 = -1×40 = -2×20 = -4×10 = -5×8

The sums of these factor pairs are 39, 18, 6, 3, respectively. So, the one we want is (-4)(10) = -40. Now that we know the values of 'p' and 'q', we can write the factorization ...

  x^2 +6x -40 = (x -4)(x +10)

Step-by-step explanation:

3a.

there are 40 students.

each one had to get to school one way or another. so, all of them have to be in the table in one category.

I am just surprised that "car" is not an option there.

anyway, we have

11 + 7 + 9 + 6 = 33

so, there are 40-33 = 7 students left for the train category.

3b.

I cannot draw it for you.

but you need to consider the following table :

all 40 students are the full 360° of the circle.

school-bus are 11 students = 11/40 × 360 = 11×9 = 99°

public bus are 7 students = 7/40 × 360 = 7 × 9 = 63°

walk are 9 students = 9/40 × 360 = 9 × 9 = 81°

bicycle are 6 students = 6/40 × 360 = 6×9 = 54°

train are 7 students = 7/40 × 360 = 7 × 9 = 63°

as you can see, the sum is again 40 students and 360°.

you need to draw these 5 pie slices with these angles.

and in each slice you write the number of students in that category.

together, side by side, all 5 slices will fill the whole circle.

Suppose that when you factor 4t^6-r^10, you get (2t^x+r^y)(2t^x-r^y). determine the sum of t and r.
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

4t^6-r^10 we are to factorize in the form;

(2t^x+r^y)(2t^x-r^y)

First we need to factorize (2t^x+r^y)(2t^x-r^y)

=  (2t^x+r^y)(2t^x-r^y)\\= 4t^{2x}-2t^xr^y + 2t^xr^y - r^{2y}\\=  4t^{2x}-r^{2y}

Compare 4t^{2x}-r^{2y} \ with \ 4t^6-r^{10}

4t^{2x} = 4t^6\\t^{2x} = t^6\\equate \ the \ powers\\2x = 6\\x = 3\\

Get y;

r^{2y} = r^{10}\\2y = 10\\y = 5\\Hence \ x + y = 3+5 = 8

Hence the sum of x and y is 8
