How do u factor this

Mathematics

You can factor a parabola by finding its roots: if

p(x)=x^2+bx+c

has roots x_1,\ x_2, then you have the following factorization:

p(x) = (x-x_1)(x-x_2)

In order to find the roots, you can use the usual formula

x_{1,2} = \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

In the first example, this formula leads to

x_{1,2} = \dfrac{-2\pm\sqrt{4+4}}{2} = \dfrac{-2\pm\sqrt{8}}{2} = \dfrac{-2\pm2\sqrt{2}}{2} = 1 \pm \sqrt{2}

So, you can factor

x^2-2x-1 = (x-1-\sqrt{2})(x-1+\sqrt{2})

The same goes for the second parabola.

As for the third exercise, simply plug the values asking

f(1.5)=-5.25

you get

f(-1.5) = 1.5c-3 = -5.25

Add 3 to both sides:

1.5c = -2.25

Divide both sides by 1.5:

c = 1.5

Una avenida está siendo asfaltada por etapas. En la primera etapa se asfaltó la mitad; en la segunda, la quinta parte, y en la t
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Sabemos que:

L es el largo de la avenida.

En la primer etapa se asfalto la mitad, L/2, entonces lo que queda por asfaltar es:

L - L/2 = L/2.

En la segunda etapa se asfalto la quinta parte, L/5, entonces lo que queda por asfaltar es:

L/2 - L/5 = 5*L/10 - 2*L/10 = (3/10)*L

En la tercer etapa se asfalto la cuarta parte del total, L/4, entonces lo que queda por asfaltar es:

(3/10)*L - L/4 = 12*L/40 - 10L/40 = (2/40)*L

Y sabemos que este ultimo pedazo que queda por asfaltar es de 200m:

(2/40)*L = 200m

L = 200m*(40/2) = 4,000m
