Answer:

(x - 2)(5x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x² - 12x + 4

consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 5 × 4 = 20 and sum = - 12

the factors are - 10 and - 2

use these factors to split the x- term

5x² - 10x - 2x + 4 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 5x(x - 2) - 2(x - 2) ← factor out (x - 2) from each term

= (x - 2)(5x - 2) ← in factored form

Answer:

x = 2

x = 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 5 and 4

5* 4 = 20

what 2 numbers added make -12 and multiplied make 20 at the same time?

-10 and -2 do this

5 ( x - 10/5) (x - 2/5) = 0

simplify

5 ( x - 2) ( x - 2/5) = 0

(5( x - 2) ( x - 2/5))/5 = 0/5

( x - 2) ( x - 2/5) = 0

x = 2 x = 2/5

The voltage in an electrical circuit is multiplied by itself each time it is reduced. The voltage is 27/125 of a volt and it has

alexgriva [62]

I belive this is the answer

x³ = 27/125; and

x = 3/5.

explanation:

Reducing the voltage 3 times would result in multiplying the unknown voltage, x, by itself 3 times; this gives us

x³.

The current voltage is 27/125; this gives us the equation

x³ = 27/125.

To solve this, take the cubed root of both sides:

∛(x³) = ∛(27/125)

x = (∛27)/(∛125)

x = (∛(3*3*3))/(∛(5*5*5))

x = 3/5

How can I find the exact distance between the points(√7,-√2)and (4√7,5√2)

chubhunter [2.5K]

$\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({{ \sqrt{7}}}\quad ,&{{ -\sqrt{2}}})\quad 
% (c,d)
&({{4\sqrt{7}}}\quad ,&{{ 5\sqrt{2}}})
\end{array}~~~
% distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
\\\\\\
$

$\bf d=\sqrt{[4\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{7}]^2~+~[5\sqrt{2}-(-\sqrt{2})]^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{(4\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{7})^2~+~(5\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2})^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(3\sqrt{7})^2~+~(6\sqrt{2})^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{3^2\cdot 7~~+~~6^2\cdot 2}\implies d=\sqrt{63+72}\implies d=\sqrt{135}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
135=5\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\\
\qquad 5\cdot 3^2\cdot 3\\
\qquad 15\cdot 3^2
\end{cases}\implies d=\sqrt{15\cdot 3^2}\implies d=3\sqrt{15}$

Line segment EF has a length of 5 units. it is translated 5 units to the right on a coordinate plane to obtain line segment E'F.

Phantasy [73]

In Geometry, a translation is a function where an object is moved a certain distance. This means that the location of the line is changed, but it is not changed in any other way. This means, that if the line was originally 5 units, it will still be 5 units long.
