We can factor by grouping. To do so, we multiply the leading coefficient with the constant at the end. In other words, a times c (ax^2 + bx + c).
15*-4 = -60
Now we need to split the b term into two pieces that multiply to -60 and add to 4.
-6 and 10 will work.
Now group one part of b with the 15x^2 and the other part with -4.
(15x^2 + 10x) + (-6x - 4)
Now factor both terms.
5x(3x+2) - 2(3x+2)
3x+2 is one of our factors and 5x-2 is the other.
(3x+2)(5x-2)=0
Now just find the zeros.
3x+2 = 0
3x = -2
x = -2/3
And
5x-2 = 0
5x = 2
x = 2/5
So the answer is x = -2/3 and x = 2/5
Answer:
just by looking at the graph you can see that the y int is one, so that eliminates two answers already. Then the slope is rise over run. (best thing to remember in math. rise over run) so pick two points. (0, 1) and (4,0) were the first ones i saw. to get from those two points you go from (0,1) over 4 (thats your run) and from there down 1 (thats your rise) to get to (0,4). You would then do rise over run (and because your rise goes down its negative) to get -1/4 as your slope. The answer is slope= -1/4, Y intercept = 1
Answer:
$598
Step-by-step explanation:
2 x 299 = 598 so Apple is charging $598 for the new phone.
The volume of this right rectangular prism is 263.52 and it is to the nearest hundredths as a decimal, hope it helps!
