Answer:

x + 5y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

y = -1/5 x + b

1 = -1/5 (-5) + b

1 = 1 + b

b = 0

y = -1/5 x

5y = -x

x + 5y = 0

What binomial is a factor of 6x sqaured + 48x + 96?

Stella [2.4K]

6x² + 48x + 96
6(x² + 8x + 16)

6(x + 4)(x + 4) is your polynomial fully factored so I'm guessing the binomial you're looking for is (x + 4).

98-x2=0 solve this with the quadratic formula

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

x∈{-7√2, 7√2}

Step-by-step explanation:

$98-x^2=0\\\\-x^2+98=0\\\\a=-1\,,\ \ b=0\,,\ \ c=98\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-0-\sqrt{0^2-4\cdot(-1)\cdot98}}{2\cdot(-1)}=\dfrac{-\sqrt{4\cdot49\cdot2}}{-2}=\dfrac{-2\cdot7\sqrt{2}}{-2}=7\sqrt2\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-0+\sqrt{0^2-4\cdot(-1)\cdot98}}{2\cdot(-1)}=\dfrac{2\cdot7\sqrt{2}}{-2}=-7\sqrt2$

The answer is 1/5 of the students are blond girls, since 1/3 of 3/5 is 1/5.
Divide 3/5 by 3, which is 1/5.
Hope this helps!
