the double number line shows that in 3 seconds an ostrich can run 63 meters. how far can the ostrich run in 5 seconds

inna [77]

Answer: 105 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Ostrich's running rate is 63 meters/3 seconds. This can be reduced to 21 meters/second (21 m/s).

(21 m/s)*(5 sec) = 105 meters

Choose the TWO factored binominals for the expression: x2+6x – 27 Question 6 options: A) (x - 3) B) (x - 9) C) (x + 6) D) (x + 9

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

A) x-3 and D) x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 6x - 27

You need to find two numbers that multiply to -27 and add up to 6

Those two numbers are -3 and 9, because 9 * -3 = -27 and 9+ -3 = 6

So you add those to x and those are your two factored binomials

(x-3) and (x+9)

Show that 2x +1 is a factor of 2x3 +5x2+4x+1 and factories completely

larisa [96]

$\text{According to the factor theorem, if f(b) = 0, then x-b is a factor of f(x).}\\\\\text{Given that,}\\\\f(x) = 2x^3 +5x^2 +4x +1 \\\\f\left(-\dfrac 12 \right) = 2\left( - \dfrac 12 \right)^3 +5 \left( - \dfrac 12 \right)^2 +4 \left( - \dfrac 12 \right) +1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~=-2 \cdot \dfrac 18 + 5 \cdot \dfrac 14 -2 +1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac 54 -\dfrac14 -1\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac 44 -1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=1-1\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=0\\\\\text{So,}~ 2x +1 ~ \text{is a factor of f(x).}$

$\text{Now,}\\\\f(x) = 2x^3 +5x^2 +4x +1 \\\\~~~~~~=2x^3+x^2 +2x^2 +2x +2x+1\\\\~~~~~~=x^2(2x+1) +2x(2x+1) + (2x+1)\\\\~~~~~~=(2x+1)(x^2 +2x +1)\\\\~~~~~~=(2x+1)(x+1)^2$
