Answer:

(x - 1)(3x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x² + x - 4

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 3 × - 4 = -12 and sum = + 1

The factors are - 3 and + 4

Use these factors to split the x- term

3x² - 3x + 4x - 4 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 3x(x - 1) + 4(x - 1) ← factor out (x - 1) from each term

= (x - 1)(3x + 4) ← in factored form

Answer:

(3x + 4)(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2 + x - 4

use middle term break method

we need two number which gives 12 when multiplied and 1 when subtracted

3x^2 + (4 - 3)x - 4

3x^2 + 4x - 3x - 4

x(3x + 4) -1(3x + 4)

(3x + 4)(x - 1)

What’s the inverse of f(x) = -2 + 2/3x

saveliy_v [14]

So the steps to find the inverse are:

Change f(x) to y
Switch the positions of x and y
Solve for y
Change y to f^-1(x)

$f(x)=-2+ \frac{2}{3}x\\\\y=-2+ \frac{2}{3}x\\\\x=-2+ \frac{2}{3}y$

Now let's solve for y as such:

$x=-2+ \frac{2}{3}y \\\\x+2=\frac{2}{3}y\\\\\frac{3}{2} (x+2)=y\\\\\frac{3}{2}x+3=y\\\\\frac{3}{2}x+3=f^{-1}(x)$

Your inverse is f^-1(x) = 3/2x + 3

How to do 15 1/2 - 2 1/10 how to do it

lisov135 [29]

First, you need to make the fractions have the same denominator:

15 1/2 ---> 15 + (1/2 x 5) = 15 5/10

2 1/10 ---> 2 1/10

Then you need to subtract them from each other:

15 5/10

- 2 1/10 (or) 15 5/10 - 2 1/10 = 13 4/10

13 4/10

This gets the answer: 13 4/10

What does increase mean

Darya [45]

Increase- to be more significant in value, to be of more worth, to have a larger quantity.

Basically, if I said I added 2 to 5, that would be an increase.

2+5=7 7 is bigger than 5.

If I subtracted 2 from 5, that would make a decrease in value.

5-2=3 3 is smaller than 5.

I hope this helps!
