Answer:

You make a factor tree for (-)40 where the factors of -40 are -8 and +5. This becomes (x+5)(x-8) which can be multiplied to get back to the starting point.

<u>Answer:</u>

Write the factors and add them up.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

To factorize the given trinomial x^2-3x-40, you first need to find the factors of -40 such that when multiplied they give -40 and when added they give a result of -3.

The second step in the process of factoring is to write the add the factors up in place of '-3x' to get:

x^{2} - 8x + 5x - 40

Kryger [21]

Answer: Algebraically, linear functions are polynomial functions with a highest exponent of one, exponential functions have a variable in the exponent, and quadratic functions are polynomial functions with a highest exponent of two.

Step-by-step explanation: A linear equation is a type of equation in which the graph is straight and each term is a constant or a power of a constant. The formula is y=mx+b. Quadratic equations are similar to exponential equations by having a curve in the graph.

it cost a manufacturer $8.75 produce a pair of sunglasses that sells for $29.99. How much must a manufacturer sell to make a pro
Elis [28]
29.99x-8.75x=17884

21.24x=17884

X=841 sunglasses

It actually comes out to be more than 841, but since you can’t make .9 sunglasses then you round to the lower whole number.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Answer:

c = 7

d = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that in the first expression, x^c is inside a square root, and only perfect squares can be extracted from it. On the simplified form shown on the right hand side, we have x^3 outside the root and a single "x" left inside. In order for such to happen (x^3 get outside the root) there must have been an x^6 inside the square root. This together with the sole "x" that was left in the root, totals seven factors of x that should have been originally inside the square root:

x^6 * x = x^7  therefore c was a "7"

In the second expression we have a CUBIC root, so only perfect cubes can get extracted from it. Since there is one factor "x" shown in the simplified form (right hand side of the equal sign), that means that it must have been an x^3 (perfect cube) apart from the x^2 that was left inside the root. This makes the original power of x to be a 3 + 2 = 5.

Therefore d = 5

Estimate: 55 +8<br> 50<br> 60<br> 7<br> 8
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

<h2><u>60</u></h2>

<u>But the actual solution is 63.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>55+8=63</em>

<em>6</em><em><u>3</u></em>

<em>3<5 so you don't round up, you round down.</em>

Rounding down... 60

60

But the actual solution is 63.
