Answer:

y+4 = 3(x -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given two points, so you only need to find the slope. The slope is given by the formula ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

m = (2 -(-4))/(3 -1) = 6/2 = 3

The point-slope equation for a line is ...

y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

Using the first point, the equation is ...

y+4 = 3(x -1)

Factor both quadratic expressions. (x 4 + 5x 2 - 36)(2x 2 + 9x - 5) = 0

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: $x^4+9x^2-4x^2-36$

Next, factor x^4 + 9x^2 and -4x^2 - 36 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside of the parentheses: $x^2(x^2+9)-4(x^2+9)$

Now you can rewrite this as $(x^2-4)(x^2+9)$ , however this is not completely factored. With (x^2 - 4), we are using the difference of squares, which is $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$ . Applying that here, we have $(x+2)(x-2)(x^2+9)$ . 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: $2x^2+10x-x-5$

Next, factor 2x^2 + 10x and -x - 5 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside: $2x(x+5)-1(x+5)$

Now you can rewrite the equation as $(2x-1)(x+5)$ . 2x^2 + 9x - 5 is completely factored.

<h3><u>Putting it all together, your factored expression is $(x+2)(x-2)(x^2+9)(2x-1)(x+5)=0$ </u></h3>

A recipe calls for 3/4 of a cup of flour to make 5/8 of a pound of bread

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf 1 \ pound \ of \ dough = 1\frac{1}{5} \ cup \ of \ flour}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\displaystyle \underline{Given \ that:}\\\\\frac{5}{8} \ pound \ of \ dough = \frac{3}{4} \ cup\ of \ flour\\\\Multiply \ 8 \ to \ both \ sides\\\\5 \ pounds \ of \ dough = \frac{3}{4} \times 8 \ cup \ of \ flour\\\\5 \ pounds \ of \ dough = 3 \times 2 \ cup \ of \ flour\\\\5 \ pounds \ of \ dough = 6 \ cups \ of \ flour\\\\Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 5\\\\1 \ pound \ of \ dough = \frac{6}{5} \ cup \ of \ flour\\\\\boxed{1 \ pound \ of \ dough = 1\frac{1}{5} \ cup \ of \ flour}\\\\$
