7. Which expression is a factor of x² + 2x – 15?

Answer:

(x-3) is the correct expression

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor you split the expression apart -

x² + 2x – 15

This breaks up to (x+5)(x-3)

If you multiply (FOIL) these you get your expression x² + 2x – 15

Your answer choices do not include (x+5) so it must be (x-3)

- 7h + 2(-4h +5) &gt; -4h +1 +10. Solve for h​
navik [9.2K]

Hello.

-7h + 2(-4h + 5) > -4h + 1 + 10 ; solve for h

Our first step is to get rid of all the parenthesis. We can do this by simplifying everything out.

-7h - 8h + 10 > -4h + 11

Add like terms.

-15h + 10 > -4h + 11

Now, we must isolate our variables. We do this by moving all variables to one side and moving our other numbers to the other.

Subtract 10 from both sides. Then, add 4h to both sides.

-15h + 4h > 11 - 10

Simplify.

-h > 1

Divide both sides by -1.

However, keep in mind that when dividing with a negative, you must change the sign. Therefore, > turns into <

-h ÷ -1 < 1 ÷ -1

h < -1

There are 12 pieces of pie that are going to be split between 5 people. How many slices of pie does each person get? Choose the
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

2.4 (2 2/5) pieces of pie per person.

Step-by-step explanation:

All that is needed to be done is simple division. Take your pieces of pie, (12) and divided it by the amount of people (5). This will give you 2.4. This can be turned into 24/10, and can be simplified twice. First to 12/5, then to 2 2/5.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

AEF is a similar triangle to ABC. that means it has the same angles, and the sides (and all other lines in the triangle) are scaled from the ABC length to the AEF length by the same factor f.

now, what is f ?

we know this from the relation of AC to FA.

FA = 12 mm

AC = 12 + 28 = 40 mm

so, going from AC to FA we multiply AC by f so that

AC × f = FA

40 × f = 12

f = 12/40 = 3/10

all other sides, heights, ... if ABC translate to their smaller counterparts in AEF by that multiplication with f (= 3/10).

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

aABC = 500

and because of the similarity we don't need to calculate the side and height in absolute numbers. we can use the relative sizes by referring to the original dimensions and the scaling factor f.

baseline small = baseline large × f

height small = height large × f

we know that

baseline large × height large / 2 = 500

baseline large × height large = 1000

aAEF = baseline small × height small / 2 =

= baseline large × f × height large × f / 2 =

= baseline large × height large × f² / 2 =

= 1000 × f² / 2 = 500 × f² = 500 ×(3/10)² =

= 500 × 9/100 = 5 × 9 = 45 mm²
