y = 3(x+5)(x-2)

y = 3(x*x + x*(-2) + 5x + 5(-2))

y = 3(x^2-2x+5x-10)

y = 3(x^2+3x-10)

m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29 Start with the slope formula.


m=%288-4%29%2F%282-0%29 Plug in y%5B2%5D=8, y%5B1%5D=4, x%5B2%5D=2, and x%5B1%5D=0


m=%284%29%2F%282-0%29 Subtract 4 from 8 to get 4


m=%284%29%2F%282%29 Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2


m=2 Reduce

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
32^(a+b) = 16^(a+2b)

(2^5)^(a+b) = (2^4)^(a+2b)

2^(5(a+b)) = 2^(4(a+2b))

5(a+b) = 4(a+2b)

5a+5b = 4a+8b

5a-4a = 8b-5b

a = 3b

So the answer is choice C

6%285-8m%29%2B12=-54 Start with the given equation.


30-48m%2B12=-54 Distribute.


-48m%2B42=-54 Combine like terms on the left side.


-48m=-54-42 Subtract 42 from both sides.


-48m=-96 Combine like terms on the right side.


m=%28-96%29%2F%28-48%29 Divide both sides by -48 to isolate m.


m=2 Reduce.

Rectangles/579340: A rectangular lawn has a length of 6 m and a width that is twice its length. What is the area of the lawn?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If the width is twice the length, then the width is 2*6 = 12 meters. So L = 6, W = 12. Use these values to find the area A:

A = LW

A = 6*12

A = 72


So the area of the lawn is 72 square meters.

Area:

A = s^2

A = 8^2

A = 64


So the area of the lot is 64 square meters.

Answer 370848 by jim_thompson5910(28598) About Me  on 2012-02-27 19:19:11 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you take equation 1, which is x=y+7, and solve for y, you'll get

x=y+7

0 = y+7 - x

-y = 7 - x

y = -7 + x

y = x - 7


Now compare this with equation 2) y = x+7

The slopes are equal to 1, but the y-intercepts are different.

This suggests that the two lines are parallel and will never cross or intersect each other.

So this is an inconsistent system.

Therefore, there are no solutions.

64 = 4^3


So

(64^7/9)/(4^3/4) = (4^(3*7/9))/(4^3/4)

(64^7/9)/(4^3/4) = (4^(21/9))/(4^3/4)

(64^7/9)/(4^3/4) = 4^(21/9- 3/4)

(64^7/9)/(4^3/4) = 4^(19/12)

(64^7/9)/(4^3/4) = 8.979696 ... Note: Use a calculator on this step.

The absolute value of any number is nonnegative. In other words, it's never negative.


So there are no solutions to the equation |r-9|=-3


Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/578874: Please explain this to my math deficient noggin. In this example from the text book, how are the steps of simplification arrived at? Shouldn't 14x^2 be 14x^4?
(5x² + 7x - 2) + (9x² - 12x +13) =
(5x² + 9x²) + (7x - 12x) + (-2 + 13) =
14x² - 5x + 11

I don't understand at all how the first line becomes the seconds line, or the third line. Thanks very much.

In the second line, you're grouping like terms. Like terms are the terms that have the same variable and exponent, so for example, 5x%5E2 and 9x%5E2 are like terms because they have the common term x%5E2 between them.


In the third line, you're combining like terms. You do this by adding/subtracting the coefficients in front of the variables.

d = rt

250 = 60t

250/60 = t

25/6 = t

4.1667 = t

t = 4.1667


So it will take roughly 4.1667 hours

If you want to find the equation of the line that goes through those points, then...



First let's find the slope of the line through the points and


Note: is the first point . So this means that x%5B1%5D=-4 and y%5B1%5D=1.
Also, is the second point . So this means that x%5B2%5D=2 and y%5B2%5D=-3.


m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29 Start with the slope formula.


m=%28-3-1%29%2F%282--4%29 Plug in y%5B2%5D=-3, y%5B1%5D=1, x%5B2%5D=2, and x%5B1%5D=-4


m=%28-4%29%2F%282--4%29 Subtract 1 from -3 to get -4


m=%28-4%29%2F%286%29 Subtract -4 from 2 to get 6


m=-2%2F3 Reduce


So the slope of the line that goes through the points and is m=-2%2F3


Now let's use the point slope formula:


y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29 Start with the point slope formula


y-1=%28-2%2F3%29%28x--4%29 Plug in m=-2%2F3, x%5B1%5D=-4, and y%5B1%5D=1


y-1=%28-2%2F3%29%28x%2B4%29 Rewrite x--4 as x%2B4


y-1=%28-2%2F3%29x%2B%28-2%2F3%29%284%29 Distribute


y-1=%28-2%2F3%29x-8%2F3 Multiply


y=%28-2%2F3%29x-8%2F3%2B1 Add 1 to both sides.


y=%28-2%2F3%29x-5%2F3 Combine like terms. note: If you need help with fractions, check out this solver.


So the equation that goes through the points and is y=%28-2%2F3%29x-5%2F3



Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/578581: -80x^2-44x+180

1 solutions

Answer 370703 by jim_thompson5910(28598) About Me  on 2012-02-26 23:20:55 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'm assuming you want to factor this.

-80x%5E2-44x%2B180 Start with the given expression.


-4%2820x%5E2%2B11x-45%29 Factor out the GCF -4.


Now let's try to factor the inner expression 20x%5E2%2B11x-45


---------------------------------------------------------------


Looking at the expression 20x%5E2%2B11x-45, we can see that the first coefficient is 20, the second coefficient is 11, and the last term is -45.


Now multiply the first coefficient 20 by the last term -45 to get %2820%29%28-45%29=-900.


Now the question is: what two whole numbers multiply to -900 (the previous product) and add to the second coefficient 11?


To find these two numbers, we need to list all of the factors of -900 (the previous product).


Factors of -900:
1,2,3,4,5,6,9,10,12,15,18,20,25,30,36,45,50,60,75,90,100,150,180,225,300,450,900
-1,-2,-3,-4,-5,-6,-9,-10,-12,-15,-18,-20,-25,-30,-36,-45,-50,-60,-75,-90,-100,-150,-180,-225,-300,-450,-900


Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations.


These factors pair up and multiply to -900.
1*(-900) = -900
2*(-450) = -900
3*(-300) = -900
4*(-225) = -900
5*(-180) = -900
6*(-150) = -900
9*(-100) = -900
10*(-90) = -900
12*(-75) = -900
15*(-60) = -900
18*(-50) = -900
20*(-45) = -900
25*(-36) = -900
30*(-30) = -900
(-1)*(900) = -900
(-2)*(450) = -900
(-3)*(300) = -900
(-4)*(225) = -900
(-5)*(180) = -900
(-6)*(150) = -900
(-9)*(100) = -900
(-10)*(90) = -900
(-12)*(75) = -900
(-15)*(60) = -900
(-18)*(50) = -900
(-20)*(45) = -900
(-25)*(36) = -900
(-30)*(30) = -900

Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient 11:


First NumberSecond NumberSum
1-9001+(-900)=-899
2-4502+(-450)=-448
3-3003+(-300)=-297
4-2254+(-225)=-221
5-1805+(-180)=-175
6-1506+(-150)=-144
9-1009+(-100)=-91
10-9010+(-90)=-80
12-7512+(-75)=-63
15-6015+(-60)=-45
18-5018+(-50)=-32
20-4520+(-45)=-25
25-3625+(-36)=-11
30-3030+(-30)=0
-1900-1+900=899
-2450-2+450=448
-3300-3+300=297
-4225-4+225=221
-5180-5+180=175
-6150-6+150=144
-9100-9+100=91
-1090-10+90=80
-1275-12+75=63
-1560-15+60=45
-1850-18+50=32
-2045-20+45=25
-2536-25+36=11
-3030-30+30=0



From the table, we can see that the two numbers -25 and 36 add to 11 (the middle coefficient).


So the two numbers -25 and 36 both multiply to -900 and add to 11


Now replace the middle term 11x with -25x%2B36x. Remember, -25 and 36 add to 11. So this shows us that -25x%2B36x=11x.


20x%5E2%2Bhighlight%28-25x%2B36x%29-45 Replace the second term 11x with -25x%2B36x.


%2820x%5E2-25x%29%2B%2836x-45%29 Group the terms into two pairs.


5x%284x-5%29%2B%2836x-45%29 Factor out the GCF 5x from the first group.


5x%284x-5%29%2B9%284x-5%29 Factor out 9 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.


%285x%2B9%29%284x-5%29 Combine like terms. Or factor out the common term 4x-5


--------------------------------------------------


So -4%2820x%5E2%2B11x-45%29 then factors further to -4%285x%2B9%29%284x-5%29


===============================================================


Answer:


So -80x%5E2-44x%2B180 completely factors to -4%285x%2B9%29%284x-5%29.


In other words, -80x%5E2-44x%2B180=-4%285x%2B9%29%284x-5%29.


Note: you can check the answer by expanding -4%285x%2B9%29%284x-5%29 to get -80x%5E2-44x%2B180 or by graphing the original expression and the answer (the two graphs should be identical).

Looking at y=-2x%2B1 we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=-2 and the y-intercept is b=1


Since b=1 this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point




Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is -2, this means:

rise%2Frun=-2%2F1


which shows us that the rise is -2 and the run is 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go down 2 and over 1



So starting at , go down 2 units


and to the right 1 unit to get to the next point



Now draw a line through these points to graph y=-2x%2B1

So this is the graph of y=-2x%2B1 through the points and

b=%2816%29%2F%287%29 Divide both sides by 7 to isolate b.
