Equations/624249: factor 3x^2 +13x -10 1 solutions Answer 393141 by jim_thompson5910(28598)   on 2012-06-30 12:34:26 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! I'm assuming you meant to write 3x^2+13x-10 Looking at the expression , we can see that the first coefficient is , the second coefficient is , and the last term is . Now multiply the first coefficient by the last term to get . Now the question is: what two whole numbers multiply to (the previous product) and add to the second coefficient ? To find these two numbers, we need to list all of the factors of (the previous product). Factors of : 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30 -1,-2,-3,-5,-6,-10,-15,-30 Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations. These factors pair up and multiply to . 1*(-30) = -30 2*(-15) = -30 3*(-10) = -30 5*(-6) = -30 (-1)*(30) = -30 (-2)*(15) = -30 (-3)*(10) = -30 (-5)*(6) = -30 Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient : First Number Second Number Sum 1 -30 1+(-30)=-29 2 -15 2+(-15)=-13 3 -10 3+(-10)=-7 5 -6 5+(-6)=-1 -1 30 -1+30=29 -2 15 -2+15=13 -3 10 -3+10=7 -5 6 -5+6=1 From the table, we can see that the two numbers and add to (the middle coefficient). So the two numbers and both multiply to and add to Now replace the middle term with . Remember, and add to . So this shows us that . Replace the second term with . Group the terms into two pairs. Factor out the GCF from the first group. Factor out from the second group. The goal of this step is to make the terms in the second parenthesis equal to the terms in the first parenthesis. Combine like terms. Or factor out the common term =============================================================== Answer: So factors to . In other words, . Note: you can check the answer by expanding to get or by graphing the original expression and the answer (the two graphs should be identical). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you need more help, email me at jim_thompson5910@hotmail.com Also, please consider visiting my website: http://www.freewebs.com/jimthompson5910/home.html and making a donation.

Equations/624892: true or false. ___1 Two sixths is a whole number 1 solutions Answer 393140 by jim_thompson5910(28598)   on 2012-06-30 12:32:37 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is false since 2/6 = 1/3 = 0.3333 which has a decimal part.

Geometry_proofs/624775: Given: Angle 1 is congruent to angle 3. Prove: Angle 2 is congruent to angle 4. *Angle 1 and 2 are vertical angles. Angle 3 and 4 are vertical angles. 1 solutions Answer 393042 by jim_thompson5910(28598)   on 2012-06-29 17:55:56 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Angles 1 and 2 are vertical angles. So angle 1 = angle 2 because vertical angles are congruent. Angles 3 and 4 are vertical as well. So angle 3 = angle 4 by the same reason. ------------------------------------------------------- Since it's given that "Angle 1 is congruent to angle 3. ", this also means that angle 1 = angle 3 Now we can use substitution to get angle 1 = angle 3 angle 2 = angle 3 << -- replace "angle 1" with "angle 2" (since the two are congruent) angle 2 = angle 4 << -- replace "angle 3" with "angle 4" (since the two are congruent) So because we've shown that angle 2 = angle 4 , this proves Angle 2 is congruent to angle 4

Exponents-negative-and-fractional/624778: Scientific Notation problem: Short Answer: Convert this number to scientific notation. SHOW ALL WORK! 76,485 Seemed simple when I started, but it wasn't. Help. 1 solutions Answer 393040 by jim_thompson5910(28598)   on 2012-06-29 17:49:06 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Place the decimal point between the first two digits to get 7.6485 Now move the decimal 4 places to the right (to get back to the original number). So the base is 7.6485 and the exponent is 4 This means that 76,485 = 7.6485 x 10^4

Linear_Algebra/624750: Assume that all matrices are invertible and solve for the matrix X in: (A^-1 X)^-1 =A (B^-1 A)^-1 1 solutions Answer 393006 by jim_thompson5910(28598)   on 2012-06-29 15:17:10 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! (A^-1 X)^-1 =A (B^-1 A)^-1 (A^-1 X)^-1(A^-1 X) =(A (B^-1 A)^-1)(A^-1 X) I =(A (B^-1 A)^-1)(A^-1 X) A^-1 * I =(A^-1 A (B^-1 A)^-1)(A^-1 X) A^-1 = ((B^-1 A)^-1)(A^-1 X) (B^-1 A)A^-1 = ((B^-1 A)(B^-1 A)^-1)(A^-1 X) (B^-1 A)A^-1 = A^-1 X A(B^-1 A)A^-1 = A*A^-1 X A(B^-1 A)A^-1 = X X = A(B^-1 A)A^-1 So the solution is X = A(B^-1 A)A^-1
