Hey there :)
27x² is what we are trying to factorise
When factorising, we do not add but we multiply
Jude factored : ( 20x )( 7x ) → This is wrong, since 20x × 7x = 140x²
Yasmin factored : ( 9 )( 3x² ) → This is right indeed as 9 × 3x² = 27x²
Yasmin is right
Answer:
a. Emily should begin her turn as the third driver at point (1, -0.5).
b. Emily's turn to drive end at point (-2.5, -3.75).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let assume that the group of girls travels from their hometown to San Antonio in a straight line. We know that each location is, respectively:
Hometown

San Antonio

Then, we can determine the end of each girl's turn to drive by the following vectorial expression based on the vectorial equation of the line:

a. <em>If the girls take turns driving and each girl drives the same distance, at what point should they stop from Emily to begin her turn as the third driver? </em>
Emily's beginning point is the Andra's stop point, that is,
.
Emily should begin her turn as the third driver at point (1, -0.5).
b. <em>At what point does Emily's turn to drive end?</em>
Emily's turn to drive end at point (-2.5, -3.75).
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
You choose the middle one because 3<(4)<10 makes sense where as the other ones don't when you plug in 4. Then you solve the equation which is x^2-7 and then you get 16-7 which is 9.
I don’t understand u sorry ;-;
