The answer would by 58. I hope this helps!!
4p^2 + 4p - 5
As the expression cannot be factored in it's current form, we need to check if splitting the middle term is possible.
<em><u>List factors of -20.</u></em>
-5 * 4
5 * -4
-10 * 2
10 * -2
-20 * 1
20 * -1
<u>None of the factors added together result in positive 4.</u>
Because splitting the middle term is not possible, and we cannot simplify this expression any further:
This expression cannot be fully factored.
The probability of getting a <em>country CD</em> out of all the CDs is the number of <em>country CDs</em> divided by the <em>total number of CDs</em> in Dante's Collection.
The <em>total number of CDs</em> in Dante's collection is 
.
The total number of <em>country CDs</em> is 12.
So our required probability is 
.
In percentage this is 3 divided by 10, and then multiply by 100. We get 30%. Answer choice D is correct.
ANSWER: D
You would plug in the ordered pair into the equation.
1. Put the y value from the ordered pair in the y spot, and the x value in the x spot.
2. add up the x side
Does it equal the y side?
Im a bit confused as the question says “<” at least on my end? I’m not sure if that’s just the way it ended up being written or if it means something. Sorry if my answer doesn’t apply :(. But if it does, I hope it helps!
