Answer:

(2x - 5)(3x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x² - 13x - 5

you can solve this by factoring method by observing the factors of the x² term or the constant term. But because in this case the x² term is 6 (i.e ≠ 1), it will probably be easier to find the roots of the equation.

We'll use completing the square:

let 6x² - 13x - 5 = 0 (divide both sides by 6, to make the x² term = 1)

(6x² - 13x) / 6 = 5 /6

x² - (13/6)x = 5 /6  (complete the square by adding [(13/6)÷2 ]²= (13/12)² to both sides)

x² - (13/6)x + (13/12)²= 5 /6 + (13/12)²

[x - (13/12) ]²  = 289/144

x - (13/12) = ±√(289/144)

x - (13/12) = ± (17/12)

x = (13/12) ± (17/12)

hence

x = (13/12) + (17/12)

x = 5/2

2x = 5

2x-5 = 0 ---> hence (2x - 5) is a factor

OR

x = (13/12) - (17/12)

x = -1/3

3x = -1

3x+1 = 0 ---> hence (3x + 1) is a factor

Since we know that a quadratic equation can have at most 2 real roots, we can conclude that these are the only 2 real factors

Combining the 2 factors we have found,

6x² - 13x - 5 = (2x - 5)(3x + 1)

the speed that a tsunami can travel is modeled by the equation mc025-1.jpg , where s is the speed in kilometers per hour and d i
Flura [38]
The answer is a.0.32 km.

The speed that a tsunami can travel is modeled by the equation is s = 356√d.

It is given:
s = 200 km/h
d = ?

Now, let's substitute s in the equation and find d:
s = 356√d
200 = 356√d
√d = 200 ÷ 356
√d = 0.562

Now, let's square both sides of the equation:
(√d)² = (0.562)²
d = (0.562)² = 0.316 ≈ 0.32

Therefore, <span> the approximate depth (d) of water for a tsunami traveling at 200 kilometers per hour is 0.32 km.</span>

Write the inequality shown in this graph.
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

y > -1/2 x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line : (y-y1)/(y2-y1) = (x-x1)/(x2-x1)

(y-4)/(2-4)= (x-0)/(4-0)

(y-4)/-2 = x/4

(-y+4)/2 = x/4

-y+4 = 1/2 x

-y = 1/2 x - 4

y = -1/2 x + 4

the solutions of the inequality are the points above this line, so

y > -1/2 x + 4
