Which of the binomials below is a factor of this trinomial? 4x2 + 12x + 9A. 2x-3B. 2x-1C. 2x+1D. 2x+3
katrin [286]

In order to factorate the trinomial, let's first find its roots using the quadratic formula:

\begin{gathered} b^2-4ac=12^2-4\cdot4\cdot9=144-144=0 \\ x_1=x_2=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-12+0}{2\cdot4}=-\frac{12}{8}=-\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}

Now we can write the trinomial in the form:

a(x-x_1)(x-x_2)

So we have that:

4x2+12x+9=4(x+\frac{3}{2})(x+\frac{3}{2})=(2x+3)(2x+3)

So 2x + 3 is a factor of the trinomial, therefore the answer is D.

Factor completely<br> n^4 +8n^2 + 15 =
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The factor form is n^4+8n^2+15 = \quad \left(n^2+3\right)\left(n^2+5\right)

Step-by-step explanation:

When it is required to factor the expression given in the problem, we have to first find a common term or terms, which will be found by either grouping the like terms or the splitting of the terms.

Now the expression that is given here is:

n^4 +8n^2 + 15

Now, here we will take:

u=n^2

Thus we will get:

n^4 +8n^2 + 15\\=u^2+8u+15

Now we will do the middle term split as follows:

u^2+8u+15\\=\left(u^2+3u\right)+\left(5u+15\right)\\=u\left(u+3\right)+5\left(u+3\right)\\=\left(u+3\right)\left(u+5\right)

Substituting back u=n^2 , we will have:

\left(u+3\right)\left(u+5\right)\\=\left(n^2+3\right)\left(n^2+5\right)

Hence, the required factor form of the given expression will be:

n^4+8n^2+15 = \quad \left(n^2+3\right)\left(n^2+5\right)

Tatesville had x inches of rainfall in April, (x + 1.3) inches of rainfall in May, and (2x + 0.5) inches in June. If x=2 inches,
inna [77]

Answer: 9.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x = 2 inches

Rainfall in April = x inches = 2 inches

Rainfall in May = x + 1.3 = 2 + 1.3 = 3.3 inches

Rainfall in June = 2x + 0.5 = 2(2) + 0.5 = 4.5

Total rainfall = 2 + 3.3 + 4.5 = 9.8 inches

What is the value for y?<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.
s344n2d4d5 [400]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

y = 28

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The base angles of the isosceles triangle are congruent, so the sum of angles is ...

34° + 34° + 4y° = 180°

... 4y = 180 -68 . . . . . divide by °, subtract 68

... y = 112/4 = 28 . . . . divide by the coefficient of y

The value for y is 28.

_____

You have not asked about x in either figure.

<em>First figure</em>

Since the angles are congruent, the sides are congruent. Then ...

... 6x -3 = 5x

... x = 3 . . . . . . add 3-5x

<em>Second figure</em>

The base angles of the isosceles triangle are congruent, so

... 34° = (x -5)°

... 34+5 = x = 39 . . . . . . . divide by °, add 5.
