Answer:

2x^4-11x^3+68x-80

2x^4-4x^3-7x^3+14x^2-14x^2+28x+40x-80

2x^3(x-2)-7x^2(x-2)-14x(x-2)+40(x-2)

(x-2)(2x^3-7x^2-14x+40)

(x-2)(2x^3-4x^2-3x^2+6x-20x+40)

(x-2)(2x^2(x-2)-3x(x-2)-20(x-2))

(x-2)(x-2)(2x^3-3x-20)

(x-2)(x-2)(2x^2+5x-8x-20)

(x-2)(x-2)(x(2x+5)-4(2x+5))

(x-2)(x-2)(2x+5)(x-4)

(x-2)^2(2x+5)(x-4)

OMG PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!!!!!!! A local charity sponsors a 5K race to raise money. It receives $55 per race entry and $10,000 in

Dominik [7]

Start with how much profit they are making off each race entry. People pay $55 to race, but $15 of that is expenses so they are only profiting $40 for each entry. Now write one side of the equality. They start with $10,000 in donations, and then have a $40 profit for each race entry. So 10,000+40x. X will represent the unknown number of race entries. What do we want that expression to be equal to? We want 10000+40x>55000. It can also be greater than or equal to, not just greater than. Solve for x. Subtract 10000 from each side resulting in 40x>45000. Divide each side by 40 to solve for x. X>1125. X needs to bbe greater than or equal to 1125. If there are 1125 race entries, the charity will profit exactly $55000, so the lowest number of race entries is 1125

The Garden Task

Igoryamba

If the perimeter of the garden is (14x - 32) ft and has a side length of (x + 2) ft:

the perimeter = 24 ft
the area = 36 sq. ft
if the perimeter of the garden is doubled, the perimeter of the new garden = 48 ft
if the area of the garden is doubled, the area of the new garden = 72 sq. ft

Recall:

A square has equal side lengths
Perimeter of a square = 4(side length)
Area of a square = $(side $ length)^2$

Given:

Perimeter of square (P) = $(14x - 32) $ ft$

Side length (s) = $(x + 2) $ ft$

First, let's find the value of x by creating an equation using the perimeter formula:

Perimeter of a square = 4(side length)

Plug in the values

$(14x - 32) = 4(x + 2)$

Solve for x

$14x - 32 = 4x + 8\\\\14x - 4x = 32 + 8\\\\10x = 40\\\\x = 4$

Find how much fencing would be needed (Perimeter of the fence):

Perimeter of the fence = $(14x - 32) $ ft$

Plug in the value of x

Perimeter of the fence = $14(4) - 32 = 24 $ ft$

Find the area of the garden:

Area of the garden = $(side $ length)^2$

Area = $(x + 2)^2$

Plug in the value of x

Area = $(4 + 2)^2 = 6^2 = 36 $ ft^2$

Find the perimeter if the garden size is doubled:

Perimeter of the new garden = 2 x 24 = 48 ft

Find the area if the garden size is doubled:

Perimeter of the new garden = 2 x 36 = 72 sq. ft

In summary, if the perimeter of the garden is (14x - 32) ft and has a side length of (x + 2) ft:

the perimeter = 24 ft
the area = 36 sq. ft
if the perimeter of the garden is doubled, the perimeter of the new garden = 48 ft
if the area of the garden is doubled, the area of the new garden = 72 sq. ft

Craig and Alissa are building a sandcastle on the beach. They each have a bucket. Craig's bucket holds 1/2 pound of sand and Ali

Nitella [24]

<h3>Amount of sand craig and Alissa collect together at one time is 1.4 pounds</h3>

Solution:

Given that,

Craig and Alissa are building a sandcastle on the beach. They each have a bucket

Craig's bucket holds 1/2 pound of sand and Alissa's bucket holds 9/10 pound of sand

Therefore,

$Craig\ bucket = \frac{1}{2}\ pound\\\\Alissa\ bucket = \frac{9}{10}\ pound$

How much sand can craig Alissa collect together at one time

Add both, we get

$Collect\ together = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{9}{10}\\\\Collect\ together = \frac{1 \times 5}{2 \times 5} + \frac{9}{10}\\\\Collect\ together = \frac{5}{10} + \frac{9}{10}\\\\Collect\ together = \frac{9+5}{10}\\\\Collect\ together = \frac{14}{10} = \frac{7}{5} = 1.4\\\\In\ mixed\ fractions,\\\\Collect\ together = 1\frac{2}{5}$

Thus, amount of sand craig and Alissa collect together at one time is 1.4 pounds
