Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What two numbers multiply to equal -48, but add to equal -2? The method is multiplying a*c and seeing if they add up to b. Those two numbers are -8 and +6.

$6x^2-2x-8=6x^2-8x+6x-8$

Now, factor by grouping

$(6x^2-8x)+(6x-8)=2x(3x-4)+2(3x-4)\\(2x+2)(3x-4)$

Answer:

I don't know if this is correct but wouldn't it be 560?

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have 10 on one side, you divide 10 by 1/4 to get 40. So you need 40 blocks to fill one side, and 3 1/2 on the other only needs 14. 14*40=560.

Find S18 for geometric series given a5=-6 and a2= -48

Ganezh [65]

an = a1r^(n-1)

a5 = a1 r^(5-1)

-6 =a1 r^4

a2 = a1 r^(2-1)

-48 = a1 r

divide

-6 =a1 r^4

---------------- yields 1/8 = r^3 take the cube root or each side

-48 = a1 r 1/2 = r

an = a1r^(n-1)

an = a1 (1/2)^ (n-1)

-48 = a1 (1/2) ^1

divide by 1/2

-96 = a1

an = -96 (1/2)^ (n-1)

the sum

Sn = a1[(r^n - 1/(r - 1)]

S18 = -96 [( (1/2) ^17 -1/ (1/2 -1)]

=-96 [ (1/2) ^ 17 -1 /-1/2]

= 192 * [-131071/131072]

approximately -192

Answer:

Part a) $AB=15\ cm$

Part b) $AB=11.1\ cm$

Part c) $AB=3/5\ cm$

Part d) $AB=3s\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the question

we know that

To find the length of the image after a dilation, multiply the length of the pre-image by the scale factor

Part a) we have

The scale factor is 5

The length of the pre-image is 3 cm

therefore

The length of the image AB after dilation is

$3(5)=15\ cm$

Part b) we have

The scale factor is 3.7

The length of the pre-image is 3 cm

therefore

The length of the image AB after dilation is

$3(3.7)=11.1\ cm$

Part c) we have

The scale factor is 1/5

The length of the pre-image is 3 cm

therefore

The length of the image AB after dilation is

$3(1/5)=3/5\ cm$

Part d) we have

The scale factor is s

The length of the pre-image is 3 cm

therefore

The length of the image AB after dilation is

$3(s)=3s\ cm$

KiRa [710]

Answer:

C is computer

P is printer

3c + p = 900

750 + 150 = 900

So...

Computer = $750

Printer = $150

Plz help will mark brainless if right answer ;)

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each triangle is an equilateral triangle all side are the same length. Thus, one side is 15/3=5 inches. The perimeter of the entire figure would then be 3x6=18 since there are 6 sides.
