Answer:

c. (x +3)(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factoring an equation is a way of expressing an equation as the product of other linear expressions. The following expression,

$x^2 +4x +3$

Can be represented as the product of the following,

$(x+3)(x+1)$

To check this, one can distribute, one of the expressions over the other, then simplify, the result should be the starting expression,

$(x+3)(x+1)\\$

Distribute,

$(x)(x)+(1)(x)+(3)(x)+(3)(1)$

Simplify,

$x^2 +x +3x + 3\\$

$x^2 +4x +3$

It takes 32 minutes for 3 people to paint 4 walls. How many minutes does it take 4 people to paint 7 walls?

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming each person gets the same amount of work done, each wall in the first scenario takes 8 minutes to paint. If 3 people paint 4 walls, then each person is painting 1 1/3 of a wall. We can use that to find out how long it takes one person to paint 1 1/3 walls:

$\frac{8min}{wall}*\frac{4}{3}walls=\frac{32}{3}min$ . Interpreting that, it takes each person 10 2/3 minutes to paint 1 1/3 walls.

If 4 people paint 7 walls, that means that each person is painting 7/4 walls, or 1.75 walls each. Using the fact that it takes 10.66666 minutes to paint 1.33333 walls, we can find out how many minutes it will take to paint 1.75 walls:

$\frac{10.6666}{1.33333}=\frac{x}{1.75}$ Cross multiply to get

18.666655 = 1.3333x so

x = 14.000 minutes

What is the horizontal asymptote of f(x)= -2x/x+1?

Elan Coil [88]

When x gets large, you can ignore everything except the highest-degree terms of the numerator and denominator. Effectively, you want the value of
-2x/x
= -2

The horizontal asymptote is -2.
