Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf (x+2)(x-5)}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor by grouping, first divide the polynomial into 2 groups with parentheses.

$x^2-5x+2x-10$

$(x^2-5x)+ (2x-10)$

Factor the greatest common factor (GCF) out of both binomials.

For the first binomial, the GCF is x.

$x(x-5) +(2x-10)$

For the second binomial, the GCF is 2.

$x(x-5)+2(x-5)$

Factor out the common binomial which is (x-5).

$(x+2)(x-5)$

The factorized form of x²-5x+2x-10 is (x+2)(x-5)

PLEASE HELP!!!! IMA DESPRATE!!!!!!!!Find the second term in the sequence defined by an = −5(n2 + 1n).

Dmitrij [34]

The second term of the given sequence aₙ = -5(n² + 1n) when solved gives us; a₂ = -20

<h3>How to find the nth term of a sequence?</h3>

We are given the formula for a sequence as;

aₙ = -5(n² + 1n)

Where n is the position of the term.

Now, for the first term, we will have;

a₁ = -5(1² + 1(1))

a₁ = -10

The second term of the sequence is;

a₂ = -5(2² + 1(2))

a₂ = -20

A source of laser light sends rays AB and AC toward two opposite walls of a hall. The light rays strike the walls at points B an

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The distance between the walls is 70 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A source of laser light is at point A on the ground between two parallel walls BE and CD . The walls are perpendicular to the ground that is

BE ⊥ ED and CD ⊥ ED

AB is a ray of light which strikes the wall on the left at point B which is 30 meters above the ground. that is BE = 30 m

AC is a ray of light which strikes the wall on the right at point C. The length of AC = 80 meters.

The ray AB makes an angle of 45 degrees with the ground that is m∠BAE = 45°

The ray AC makes an angle of 60 degrees with the ground that is m∠CAD = 60°

As shown is figure attached below.

WE have to find the distance between the walls that is Length of ED

Length of ED = EA + AD

Consider the Δ AEB,

Using trigonometric ratio,

$\tan\theta=\frac{perpendicular}{base}$

Here $\theta=45^{\circ}$ , perpendicular = 30 m and base we can find.

thus,

$\tan 45^{\circ}=\frac{30}{EA}$

We know $\tan 45^{\circ}=1$

thus, EA = 30 m

Consider the Δ AEB,

Using trigonometric ratio,

$\cos\theta=\frac{base}{hypotenuse}$

Here $\theta=60^{\circ}$ , hypotenuse = 80 m and base we can find.

thus, $\cos 60^{\circ}=\frac{base}{80}$

We know, $\cos 60^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2}$

thus, Base = 40 m

AD = 40 m

Thus, the distance between the walls that is the length of ED = 30 + 40 = 70 m

Which represents a side length of a square that has an area of 450 square inches?

vovikov84 [41]

<span>I have been a high school/jr high math teacher for the past 13 years. I am happy to explain how to proceed with this problem.
A square is a figure where ALL sides are exactly the same. The find the area of the square you would multiply one side times another side. You would be multiplying a number times itself. So if you already have the area, you would take the square root to find your answer. When you do, you end up with 21.21 square inches rounded to the nearest hundredth.</span>
