Answer:

$5(x-3)(x-4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x^2-35x+60$

Start by factoring out a 5:

$5(x^2-7x+12)$

We need to find two integers that have a product of 12, and a sum of -7:

(-3)(-4)=12

-3-4=-7

We can split -7x into -3x and -4x

$5(x^2-3x-4x+12)$

Factor each half separately:

$5[x(x-3)-4(x-3)]$

Since x and -4 are both being multiplied by x-3, we can combine them:

$5(x-3)(x-4)$

Which equation represents the line through (4, -6) and (0, 2)?

lukranit [14]

Answer:

$y=-2x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).

1) Determine the slope (m)

$m=\displaystyle\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ where two points that fall on the line are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$

Plug in the given points (4, -6) and (0, 2):

$m=\displaystyle\frac{-6-2}{4-0}\\\\m=\displaystyle\frac{-8}{4}\\\\m=-2$

Therefore, the slope of the line is -2. Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=-2x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

The y-intercept occurs when x=0. We are given that (0,2) falls on the line, so therefore, 2 is the y-intercept. Plug this into $y=-2x+b$ :

$y=-2x+2$

I hope this helps!

What are the corresponding steps used to find the product of (2x + 1)(x + 1)?

Margarita [4]

Answer:

(2 x +1) ( x + 1) = 2 x² + 3 x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The steops used to find the product of (2 x + 1) (x + 1) are

=( 2 x )× x + (2 x) × 1 + x + 1

= 2 x² + 2 x + x + 1

= 2 x² + 3 x + 1
