Step-by-step explanation:
(1) Factor the GCF out of the trinomial on the left side of the equation. (2 points: 1 for the GCF, 1 for the trinomial) 2x²+6x-20=0
2x²+6x-20
2(x²+3x-10)
the factors are 2 and (x²+3x-10)
(2) Factor the polynomial completely. (4 points: 2 point for each factor)
2(x²+3x-10)
2(x²-2x+5x-10)
2(x(x-2) + 5(x-2)) group like terms
2(x+5)(x-2)
(3) If a product is equal to zero, we know at least one of the factors must be zero. And the constant factor cannot be zero. So set each binomial factor equal to 0 and solve for x, the width of your project. (2 points: 1 point for each factor)
constant = 2 cannot be zero
the other factors are (x+5) and (x-2)
(x+5)=0 => x= -5
or
(x-2)=0 => x=2
(4) What are the dimensions of your project? Remember that the width of your project is represented by x. (2 points: 1 point for each dimension)
thank you so much, sorry if it's a little confusing!!
(it is indeed confusing, because physical dimensions cannot be negative)
The dimensions of the project (assumed a rectangle) are +2 and -5
The domain of 13/x - 11 is all real numbers except x cannot equal zero
1) This is a combination, so use ⁴⁰C₂.
⁴⁰C₂ = 780
There are 780 handshakes in total.
2) I got my solution by using the combinations formula. Or another way you could do this is to add up... 39 + 38 + 37 + 36 + 35 + 34 + 33 + 32 + 31... +1. You will end up with 780 (I did this to double check my work).
3) The quickest way to figure this out if Drake invited 1,000 people is to use the natural numbers formula = n(n+ 1)/2.
Plug the numbers in: 999(1000)/2 = 499,500
If Drake invited 1,000 people, there would be 499,500 handshakes.
Answer:
van : 12 miles per gallon
cabinets: 3 cabinets a day
retail job for $500
Step-by-step explanation:
van: 240 miles/20 gallons = 12 miles per gallon
cabinets: 24/8= 3
jobs: $500 for 40 hours and $12 times 40 hours gets you $480
first job pays $20 bucks more
1. Translate words into equation :
Brian= b
Natasha =n
N+3n=88 (because brian has 3x more than natasha u can rewrite b as 3n)
2. Solve : 4n=88 (divide by 4)
N=22 so natasha has 22 marbles and since b=3n, brian has 66 marbles
