Answer:
One
Step-by-step explanation:
Line of symmetry of a figure is an imaginary line about which the figure can be divided into two equal halves.
In other words, a line passing the center of the figure about which we can fold the figure into two halves overlapping each other.
For the trapezoid given in the figure, line of symmetry will be a vertical line perpendicular to the parallel sides.
Therefore, The figure has 1 line of symmetry.
So focusing on x^4 + 5x^2 - 36, we will be completing the square. Firstly, what two terms have a product of -36x^4 and a sum of 5x^2? That would be 9x^2 and -4x^2. Replace 5x^2 with 9x^2 - 4x^2: 
Next, factor x^4 + 9x^2 and -4x^2 - 36 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside of the parentheses: 
Now you can rewrite this as
, however this is not completely factored. With (x^2 - 4), we are using the difference of squares, which is
. Applying that here, we have
. x^4 + 5x^2 - 36 is completely factored.
Next, focusing now on 2x^2 + 9x - 5, we will also be completing the square. What two terms have a product of -10x^2 and a sum of 9x? That would be 10x and -x. Replace 9x with 10x - x: 
Next, factor 2x^2 + 10x and -x - 5 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside: 
Now you can rewrite the equation as
. 2x^2 + 9x - 5 is completely factored.
<h3><u>Putting it all together, your factored expression is

</u></h3>
Hey there! :D
That's like saying:
-2*-2*-2
-2*-2=4
4*-2= 8
"D" -8 <== the answer
I hope this helps!

Answer: 20x
Step-by-step explanation:
First we should note that 60 minutes = 1 hour. Therefore, 15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hour
Since Jean can pack 5 cartons in 1/4 hours, the number of carton that he can pack in one hour will be:
= 5 ÷ 1/4
= 5 × 4
= 20 cartons.
Therefore, to get the number of cartons that Jean can pack in x hours, we will multiply 20 by x. This will be:
= 20 × x
= 20x
