Answer:

(x +2)(x -4)(x -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you divide the cubic by (x +2), the factor that has -2 as a root, you get a quadratic with roots 4 and 5. Thus the factors are ...

(x +2)(x -4)(x -5)

___

In the attachment, we have done the division using a graphing calculator. You can also do it by polynomial long division or by synthetic division. The resulting quadratic is ...

x^2 -9x +20 = (x -4)(x -5) . . . . . factor the quadratic

What should be subtracted from -8xy + 2x^2 + 3y^2 to get x^2 + 2

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

x^2 - 8xy + 3y^2 - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(-8xy + 2x^2 + 3y^2) - unknown = x^2 + 2

- unknown = x^2 + 2 + 8xy - 2x^2 - 3y^2

- unknown = -x^2 + 8xy - 3y^2 + 2

Unknown = x^2 - 8xy + 3y^2 - 2

Check:

(-8xy + 2x^2 + 3y^2) - (x^2 - 8xy + 3y^2 - 2)

= -8xy + 2x^2 + 3y^2 - x^2 + 8xy - 3y^2 + 2

= -8xy + 8xy + 2x^2 - x^2 + 3y^2 - 3y^2 + 2

= x^2 + 2

Find the surface area of the triangular prism shown below .

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

the surface area should be 544 (whatever the unit is)

Step-by-step explanation:

You start by taking the rectangles on the side and finding their area.

1. (10×14)×2 ←Because there are two rectanglular sides.

2. find the area of the triangles on the side. 1/2bh = area of triangle.

(.5×8×6)×4 ← in order to find the area for all of the triangles.

3. lastly take the base of the prism and find the area then add the previously found values together.

(12×14)+(.5×8×6)×4+ (10×14)×2 = 544

Which expression is equivalent to StartRoot 200 EndRoot?

Verdich [7]

Answer:

b) √200 = 10√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is: √200

Simplifying the given expression, we get:

200 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5

⇒ 200 = (2)² x (5) ² x 2

Taking ROOT both sides, we get: $\sqrt{200} = \sqrt{(2)^{2} \times (5)^{2} \times 2}\\\implies \sqrt{200} = \sqrt{(2)^{2} } \times \sqrt{(5)^{2} } \times \sqrt{(2) } = 2 \times 5 \times \sqrt{2}\\ = 10 \sqrt {2}\\\implies \sqrt{200} = 10 \sqrt {2}$

Hence, √200 = 10√2
