Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + x - 2 = x² - x +2x -2 = x(x - 1) + 2*(x-1) = (x-1)(x+2)
8x² + 4x = 4x ( 2x + 1)
3x² + 10x + 8 = 3x² + 6x + 4x + 4*2 =3x * (x + 2) + 4 * ( x + 2) = (x + 2)(3x + 4)
Answer:
Sometimes
Step-by-step explanation:
I’ll give you an example so you can understand:
Let’s say x is 4. So plug 4 into the problem:
|4|=4 → This is a very true statement, where the absolute value of 4 is equal to 4.
Now, let’s say x is -7. So plug -7 into the problem:
|-7|=-7 → This is a false statement because it’s saying that the absolute value of -7 is -7 which is very untrue.
So |x|=x only works for positive numbers, but not negative numbers. Therefore, |x|=x is the absolute value of x <u>sometimes.</u>

Answer:
(-2,21)
Step-by-step explanation:
2 days ago, Paulo's commute time was halfway between his commute times 8 and 9 days ago.
8 days ago means that x-coordinate -8 represents this day. Count 8 units to the left and find that when x = -8, y = 24 minutes.
9 days ago means that x-coordinate -9 represents this day. Count 9 units to the left and find that when x = -9, y = 18 minutes.
Find halfway commute time between points (-8,24) and (-9,18):
then coordinates that Paulo should graph are
(-2, 21)
(-2 means 2 days ago, 21 is the halfway)
Answer: 1.4
Step-by-step explanation: First, swap the sides of the equation so that the one with the variable can be in front.
So, its 2y=2.8
To solve this, you simply divide both sides of the equation by 2.
2 divided by 2 is 0. That leaves you with the y by itself. Then, 2.8 divided by 2 is 1.4
So, y=1.4
The way to solve this question is to essentially reverse the equation I used in the other answer.
I would solve this with some theoretical values. If you start with 3, how long would it take for it to triple, or reach 9.
the equation would look like 9 = 3(2)^t/6, note how the instead of 1/2 it is now 2 in the parenthesis, as it doubles every 6 hours rather than halves every amount of hours.
When placed into an algebra calculator, the answer should be about 9.5 hours
