Answer:

(2x + y)(2x - y - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x² - y² - 2x - y

4x² - y² is a difference of squares and factors in general as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b) , then

4x² - y²

= (2x)² - y²

= (2x - y)(2x + y)

expression is now

(2x - y)(2x + y) - (2x + y) ← factor out (2x + y) from each term

= (2x + y)(2x - y - 1)

Simplify this equation<br> -5x+7>22

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 5x + 7 > 22$

Move 7 to the other side of the inequality

$- 5x > 22 - 7 \\ - 5x > 15$

Divide both sides by - 5

$\frac{ - 5x}{5} > - \frac{15}{5} \\ x > - 3$

Reverse the sign

We have the final answer as

Quadratics need help making parabola

timama [110]

Answer:

The equation of the parabola is $y = \frac{1}{3}\cdot x^{2}-\frac{4}{3}\cdot x -4$ , whose real vertex is $(x,y) = (2, -5.333)$ , not $(x,y) = (2, -5)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is a second order polynomial. By Fundamental Theorem of Algebra we know that a second order polynomial can be formed when three distinct points are known. From statement we have the following information:

$(x_{1}, y_{1}) = (-2, 0)$ , $(x_{2}, y_{2}) = (6, 0)$ , $(x_{3}, y_{3}) = (0, -4)$

From definition of second order polynomial and the three points described above, we have the following system of linear equations:

$4\cdot a -2\cdot b + c = 0$ (1)

$36\cdot a + 6\cdot b + c = 0$ (2)

$c = -4$ (3)

The solution of this system is: $a = \frac{1}{3}$ , $b = - \frac{4}{3}$ , $c = -4$ . Hence, the equation of the parabola is $y = \frac{1}{3}\cdot x^{2}-\frac{4}{3}\cdot x -4$ . Lastly, we must check if $(x,y) = (2, -5)$ belongs to the function. If we know that $x = 2$ , then the value of $y$ is:
