We can factor by grouping. To do so, we multiply the leading coefficient with the constant at the end. In other words, a times c (ax^2 + bx + c).
15*-4 = -60
Now we need to split the b term into two pieces that multiply to -60 and add to 4.
-6 and 10 will work.
Now group one part of b with the 15x^2 and the other part with -4.
(15x^2 + 10x) + (-6x - 4)
Now factor both terms.
5x(3x+2) - 2(3x+2)
3x+2 is one of our factors and 5x-2 is the other.
(3x+2)(5x-2)=0
Now just find the zeros.
3x+2 = 0
3x = -2
x = -2/3
And
5x-2 = 0
5x = 2
x = 2/5
So the answer is x = -2/3 and x = 2/5
Take a pencil put it on the paper then make sure the ink is on the paper then write
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
That’s the answer (the pic)
The sequence is infinite because the exponents 2 ,3 ,4 ,... go on infinitely.
That next number in the equence is obtained by multiplying each term by ab.
the sixth term is 2a^(6)b^(5)
We are given the expression:
(17.6^-1)^8 = 17.6 ^ -8
This means that the two terms on each side are equal. We are asked to show how this is possible.
First, use the rule of exponents. If a term raised to the power of a number x^n and is further raised to the power m: (x^n)^m, to simplify the expression, multiply n and m and this will be your end exponent = x^nm.
We can apply this rule here:
17.6^-1 ^ 8
-1 * 8 = -8
then, retain the base and replace the exponent with the product nm:
17.6 ^-8. This proves that the left term is equal to the right term. <span />
