Three students need to produce a prime factorization of 48. Donna states that the first factors in the tree should be 6 and 8. L

arry states that the first factors in the tree should be 4 and 12. Trish states that the initial factors of 48 do not affect the prime factorization. Explain why Trish is correct. (HELP ME)

Answer:

Trish is right because i doesn't matter. It eventually simplifies down to 2x2x2x2x3. What ever path u take it will significantly simplify to that so that is correct.

Hope this helps plz hit the crown :D

Answer:

If we start with 6 and 8, we can break 6 up into 2*3 and 8 into 2*2*2, thus getting a prime factorization of 2*2*2*2*3, or 2^4 *3.

If we begin with 4 and 12, 4 breaks into 2*2 and 12 into 2*2*3, so the prime factorization of 48 is still 2^4 *3.

The starting factors do not matter, since the answer comes out to be the same. There is exactly one correct answer- it doesn't matter how it's found.

Hope this helps! :)

When 5x^2 + 2= 4x is written in standard form, what are the values of a, b, and c
goblinko [34]

The standard form of a quadratic equation is

ax^{2}+bx+c=0,

where a, b, and c are coefficients. You want to get the given equation into this form. You can accomplish this by putting all the non-zero values on the left side on the equation.

In this case, the given equation is

5x^{2}+2=4x

Since 4x is on the right side of the equation, we subtract that from both sides. The resulting equation is

5x^{2}-4x+2=0

Looking at the standard form equation ax^{2}+bx+c=0, we can see that

a=5, b=-4, c=0

Alex is creating an outdoor structure out of two 12 foot boards. The boards must have an angle of elevation
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

5.0 ft - 5.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the structure is to be made using two 12 foot boards, then we expect the total perimeter to be equal to (2*12)= 24 ft.

Using the angle of elevation, 40° and the width of 8 ft then you can apply the formula for tangent of a triangle where ;

Tan α = opposite side length/adjacent length

Tan 40°= h/8

h= 8 tan 40° = 6.71 ft

Applying the cosine of an angle formula to find the length of the sliding side

Cosine β = adjacent length /hypotenuse

Cosine 40°= 8/ sliding side length

sliding side length = 8/cosine 40° =10.44 ft

Checking  the perimeter = 10.44 +8+6.71= 25.15 ft

This is more than the total lengths of the boards, so you need to adjust the height as;

24 - 18.44 = 5.56 ft ,thus the height should be less or equal to 5.56 ft

h≤ 5.6 ft

Whats slope intercept form for 2x- 5y=10
damaskus [11]

Answer:

y=-2/5x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you put x to the other side of the equation so you get y alone, getting the equation of -5y=-2x+10. In order to just have y on one side, you need to divide the whole equation by -5. This leads to the final answer of y=-2/5x-2.
