Complete the steps to factor the polynomial by grouping. P(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 -x - 5

1 answer:

5 0

To solve by grouping, we look for a pattern of the coefficients of the polynomial:
+1 +5 -1 -5
=> +(1+5) - (1+5)

Therefore we have found the grouping required, as follows:

<span>P(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 -x - 5
=x^2 ( x+5) - (x+5)
=(x^1-1)(x+5)
=(x+1)(x-1)(x+5)</span>

Graph a line that contains the point (3,-6) and has a slope of -1/2

djyliett [7]

If I were you, I would make the starting point (3,-6). From there, you will want to use the slope of -1/2 (go down 1 unit and to the right 2 units and draw a point)

Given log4(3) =0.7925 and log4(5) =1.1610, use log properties to find log4(300).

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

4.1145

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the following formula to solve this kind of problems,

$log_{a}(b) + log_{a}(c) = log_{a}(bc)$

So, let's start of with log4_(300). Since the question have already gave log4_(3) =0.7925 and log4_(5) =1.1610. It means that you have to split the 300 into the simplest form where almost all of the numbers are 3 and 5.

$log_{4}(300) = log_{4}(4 \times 5 \times 3 \times 5) \\ = log_{4}(4) + log_{4}(5) + log_{4}(3) + log_{4}(5) \\ = 1 + 1.1610 + 0.7925 + 1.1610 \\ = 4.1145$

Estimate the side length of a square that has a 9cm long diagonal

Fittoniya [83]

S^2 + s^2 = 9^2 => 2s^2 = 81 => s^2 = 81/2 => side length s = 9(sqrt(2))/2 = 6.37 cm.
