Anything to the power of 0 = 1
So x should be 0?
What do you think the answer is? Tell me and I will help you some more! :)
We can only solve it is equal to something
if we assume that it eausl zero, then if we factor it we can assume the factors eqal zero
xy=0, then assume x and y=0
so what we do is if we have
ax^2+bx+c
we factor a and take the factors closest together
then place them with the x
then factor c and chose the closest ones
then try them and see if it works
so if we had
6x^2+20x+16
6=2 times 3
(2x+ )(3x+ )
we know that they are both + because the middle terms is positive and the end terms is positive
16=4 times 4
(2x+4)(3x+4)=6x^2+12x+8x+16=6x^2+20x+16
th easy way to check is we know that teh end terms will be right since we made them that way
to check the middle terms
if we have
(ax+b)(cx+d)
to check what the middle term is we do
bcx+dax
and see if that equals the middle term
so
2. 6x^2+20x+16
6=2 times 3
(2x+ )(3x+ )
we know that they are both + because the middle terms is positive and the end terms is positive
16=4 times 4
(2x+4)(3x+4)=6x^2+12x+8x+16=6x^2+20x+16
facored is (2x+4)(3x+4)=0
2x+4=0
x=-2
3x+4=0
x=-4/3
3. 5x^2+21x+4
5=1 times 5 prime is nice since we only have 1 option
(x+ )(5x+ )
we know they are both pluss since middle and end term is positive
4=2 times 2
(x+2)(5x+2)
(2 times 5x)+(x times 2)=10x+2x=12x, we need 21 so this wrong
change end term
(x+4)(5x+1)
(4 times 5x)+(1 times x)=20x+x=21x correct
factore form
(x+4)(5x+1)=0
x+4=0
x=-4
5x+1=0
x=-1/5
4.
-7x^2+59x-24
-7=-1 and 7 or -7 and 1
we pick -1 and 7 since we want the middle term to be positive
(7x- )(-x+)
signs are differenc since end term is negaive
-24=8 and -3
(7x-3)(-x+8)
(7x times 8)+(-3 times -x)=56x+3x=59x
correct
(7x-3)(-x+8)=0
7x-3=0
x=3/7
-x+8=0
x=8
OK, so I am getting tired of this so I will just do the rest in factored form isnce you probably shoud have figured out how to do it from the previous examples
5. (x-3)(3x-5)
6. (x-1)(2x+13)
7. (x-2)(3x+8)
8. 2x^2+17x-20 cannot be factored but 2x^2+18x-20 can maybe typing mistake
9. (x+3)(11x-8)
answers:
2.(2x+4)(3x+4)
3.(x+4)(5x+1)
4.(7x-3)(-x+8)
5. (x-3)(3x-5)
6. (x-1)(2x+13)
7. (x-2)(3x+8)
8. 2x^2+17x-20 cannot be factored but 2x^2+18x-20 can maybe typing mistake
9. (x+3)(11x-8)
Answer:
4 games
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of games rented from both be represented by: g
For Games - R - Us
Games-R-Us offers a video game rental program with a monthly fee of $10 plus $2 per game rental.
$10 + $2 × g
= 10 + 2g
For Games2Go
Games2Go charges a $2 monthly fee plus $4 per game.
$2 + $4 × g
= 2 + 4g
Hence,
Games-R-Us = Games2Go
10 + 2g = 2 + 4g
Collect like terms
10 - 2 = 4g - 2g
8 = 2g
g = 8/2
g = 4 games
Therefore, number of games you would have to rent from each company to have your total cost be the same amount is 4 games
