Answer 147982 by jim_thompson5910(28598) on 2009-05-22 15:21:03 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
 Start with the given expression
 Factor out the GCF
Now let's focus on the inner expression
------------------------------------------------------------
Looking at  we can see that the first term is  and the last term is  where the coefficients are 1 and -48 respectively.
Now multiply the first coefficient 1 and the last coefficient -48 to get -48. Now what two numbers multiply to -48 and add to the middle coefficient -2? Let's list all of the factors of -48:
Factors of -48:
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48
-1,-2,-3,-4,-6,-8,-12,-16,-24,-48 ...List the negative factors as well. This will allow us to find all possible combinations
These factors pair up and multiply to -48
(1)*(-48)
(2)*(-24)
(3)*(-16)
(4)*(-12)
(6)*(-8)
(-1)*(48)
(-2)*(24)
(-3)*(16)
(-4)*(12)
(-6)*(8)
note: remember, the product of a negative and a positive number is a negative number
Now which of these pairs add to -2? Lets make a table of all of the pairs of factors we multiplied and see which two numbers add to -2
| First Number | Second Number | Sum | | 1 | -48 | 1+(-48)=-47 | | 2 | -24 | 2+(-24)=-22 | | 3 | -16 | 3+(-16)=-13 | | 4 | -12 | 4+(-12)=-8 | | 6 | -8 | 6+(-8)=-2 | | -1 | 48 | -1+48=47 | | -2 | 24 | -2+24=22 | | -3 | 16 | -3+16=13 | | -4 | 12 | -4+12=8 | | -6 | 8 | -6+8=2 |
From this list we can see that 6 and -8 add up to -2 and multiply to -48
Now looking at the expression  , replace  with  (notice  combines back to  . So it is equivalent to  )
Now let's factor  by grouping:
 Group like terms
 Factor out the GCF of  out of the first group. Factor out the GCF of  out of the second group
 Since we have a common term of  , we can combine like terms
So  factors to
So this also means that  factors to  (since  is equivalent to  )

So our expression goes from  and factors further to

Answer 147974 by jim_thompson5910(28598) on 2009-05-22 15:05:11 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Start with the given system of equations:
In order to graph these equations, we must solve for y first.
Let's graph the first equation:
 Start with the first equation.
 Subtract  from both sides.
 Divide both sides by  to isolate  .
 Rearrange the terms and simplify.
Now let's graph the equation:
 Graph of  .
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Now let's graph the second equation:
 Start with the second equation.
 Add  to both sides.
 Divide both sides by  to isolate  .
 Rearrange the terms and simplify.
Now let's graph the equation:
 Graph of  .
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Now let's graph the two equations together:
 Graph of  (red). Graph of  (green)
From the graph, we can see that one line is right on top of the other one, which means that they intersect an infinite number of times. So there are an infinite number of solutions. This means that the system of equations is consistent and dependent.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Start with the given system of equations:
 Multiply the both sides of the first equation by -2.
 Distribute and multiply.
So we have the new system of equations:
Now add the equations together. You can do this by simply adding the two left sides and the two right sides separately like this:
 Group like terms.
 Combine like terms.
 Simplify.
Since  is always true, this means that there are an infinite number of solutions.
So the system is consistent and dependent.
