Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

(3x-1)(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to factor by grouping.

a=3

b=2

c=-1

To get those values I compared 3x^2+2x-1 to ax^2+bx+c.

Now our objective to help us factor this is:  Find two integers that multiply to be a*c and add up to be b.

a*c=3(-1)

b=2

Guess what? Our numbers are already visible to us; that doesn't always happen. However, a*c=3(-1) and b=2=3+(-1).

So we are going to replace our 2x with 3x+-1x or -1x+3x. Either one is fine; they are the same thing.

3x^2+2x-1

Replacing 2x with -1x+3x.

3x^2-1x+3x-1

Grouping first 2 terms together and grouping 2nd 2 terms together.

(3x^2-1x)+(3x-1)

Now we are going to factor each grouping.

x(3x-1)+1(3x-1)

Now notice we have two terms here x(3x-1) and 1(3x-1).  Both of these terms have a common factor of (3x-1).  We are going to now factor out (3x-1).

(3x-1)(x+1)

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-3, -1) and has a slope of 2,5 ? Put your answer in slope-intercept form.

Answers

Answer:

y+1 = 2/5(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a point and a slope so we can use point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point

y--1 = 2/5 (x--3)

y+1 = 2/5(x+3)

The golf clubs have been sorted into woods and irons. The number of irons is four more than two times the number of woods. The equipment is 75% irons. How many woods are there?

Answers

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

16/4 = 4

if 75% of equipment is iron then do the math.

So it would be 4(2) + 4 = 75% of 16

So if 75% of 16 is 12 you need that extra 4 to get you to 16

The number of woods are [tex]\fbox{\begin \\\math{4}\\\end{minispace}}[/tex].

Further explanation:

Consider the number of woods as [tex]x[/tex] and number of irons as [tex]y[/tex].

Since the number of irons is four more than two times the number of woods, the number of irons is calculated as follows:

[tex]y=2x+4[/tex]                                                      ......(1)

The number of equipment consists of the woods and irons, therefore, the number of equipment [tex]n[/tex] is written as the sum of number of woods [tex]x[/tex] and number of irons [tex]y[/tex] as follows:

[tex]n=x+y[/tex]                                                                  ......(2)

From equation (1), substitute [tex]2x+4[/tex] for [tex]y[/tex] in above equation.

[tex]n=x+2x+4\\n=3x+4[/tex]

Since the total equipment contains [tex]75\%[/tex] of irons, it can be written as follows:

[tex]y=0.75n[/tex]

From equation(1) and (2) substitute [tex]2x+4[/tex] for [tex]y[/tex] and [tex]3x+4[/tex] for [tex]n[/tex] in above equation.

[tex]2x+4=0.75(3x+4)\\\Leftrightarrow2x+4=2.25x+\\\Leftrightarrow4-3=2.25x-2x\\\Leftrightarrow1=0.25x\\\Leftrightarrow x=1/0.25\\\Leftrightarrow x=4[/tex]

Substitute 4 for [tex]x[/tex] in equation (1) to obtain the number of irons.

[tex]y=2(4)+4\\y=8+4\\y=12[/tex]

Thus, the number of woods are 4 and number of irons are 12.

Given f(x) =x-7 and g(x)= x^2 find f(g(-1))

Answers

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

f(g(-1)) means we need to find g(-1) and then plug that result into f(x).

So let's start:

g(-1) means to replace the input variable in g(x)=x^2 with -1.

So we replace x with -1.  

g(-1)=(-1)^2

g(-1)=1

Now that we have g(-1) can be replaced with 1, we can further evaluate f(g(-1)).

So let's do that:

f(g(-1))

f(1)=1-7   ; I replaced the x in f(x)=x-7 with 1 to find f(1).

f(1)=-6

----

Putting altogether

f(g(-1))=f((-1)^2)=f(1)=1-7=-6.

Answer:

f(g(-1)) = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The problem is about the composite function

- A composite function is a function that depends on another function.

- A composite function is created when one function is substituted into

 another function.

- Ex: f(g(x)) is the composite function that is formed when g(x) is

 substituted for x in f(x)

* lets solve the problem

∵ f(x) = x - 7

∵ g(x) = x²

- We want to find f(g(-1))

* At first lets find g(-1) by substitute x in the function g(x) by -1

∵ g(x) = x²

∵ x = -1

∴ g(-1) = (-1)² = 1

* Now we want to find f(g(-1)), then we will substitute x in f(x) by

 the value of g(-1)

∵ g(-1) = 1

∵ f(x) = x - 7

∴ f(g(-1)) = f(1)

∵ f(1) = 1 - 7 = -6

∴ f(g(-1)) = -6

Zane is washing cars to help pay for a school trip. He gets paid $8 for every car he washes and made a total of $64 on Saturday. Write an equation to show how many cars Zane washed on Saturday.
A)8 − x = 64
B)64x = 8
C)8 + x = 64
D)8x = 64

Answers

D)8x=64 because 8 is how much he gets payed and x is cars he has washed so if 8•X=$64 then he washed8 cars on Saturday

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cars Zane washed on Saturday be x.

It is given that he gets paid $8 for every car he washes and made a total of $64 on Saturday.

We need to write an equation to show how many cars Zane washed on Saturday.

If he get $8 for one car, then the total amount he get for x cars is

Total amount = 8x

He made a total of $64 on Saturday, so

[tex]8x=64[/tex]

The required equation is 8x=64.Therefore the correct option is D.

Which rational equation fits the graph?

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

When we set the numerator equal to 0 and solve for x, that value is the horizontal asymptote (a line the graph come towards, but never crosses).

Looking at the graph, the horizontal asymptote is x = 2, so which one of the 4 functions has a horizontal asymptote of 2? Let's check.

A) 2x - 1 = 0

x = 1/2

B) same, x = 1/2

C) 2x -4 = 0

x = 2

D) same as A,B, x = 1/2

As we can see, option C has the right horizontal asymptote and A,B,D are eliminated. So answer is C.

The polynomial f(x) is written in factored form:

f(x) = (x − 6)(x + 5)(x − 9)

What are the zeros of the polynomial function?

x = 6, x = −5, x = 9
x = 6, x = 5, x = 9
x = −6, x = 5, x = −9
x = −6, x = 6, x = −5, x= 5, x = −9, x = 9

Answers

Answer:

x = 6, x = -5, x = 9

if f(x)=(x-6)(x+5)(x-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros of a polynomial in factored form can be found by setting the polynomial equal to zero and then realizing if a product is zero, then at least one of it's factors is zero.

So we have the zero's are the x's that satisfy

(x-6)(x+5)(x-9)=0.

We just need to solve three equations:

x-6=0

           This can be solved by adding 6 on both sides:  x=6

x+5=0

         This can be solved by subtracting 5 on both sides: x=-5

x-9=0

         This can be solved by adding 9 on both sides: x=9

The solutions are in { 6,-5,9 }.

Answer:

x = 6, x = -5, x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

If the polynomial f(x) is written in factored form, f(x) = (x − 6)(x + 5)(x − 9), the zeros of the polynomial function are x = 6, x = -5, x = 9.

x-6=0  x = 6

x+5=0  x = -5

x-9=0  x = 9

Therefore, x = 6, x = -5, x = 9 would be the correct answer.

Let the length = x and the width = y

For the length of fence we have x +x + y = 48 = 2x +y = 48

Rewrite as y = 48 - 2x

For the area we have x * y  = 254

Replace y in the are equation:

x * 48 -2x = 254

Simplify the left side:

48x - 2x^2 = 254

Subtract 254 from both sides:

48x - 2x^2 - 254 = 0

Using the quadratic formula solve for x:

a = -2, b = 48 and c = -254

x = -48 + 4√17/-4

x = 16.123 m.

The length = x = 16.123 meters.

The width = 48 - (16.123*2) = 15.754 meters

Rounding to the nearest centimeter:

Length = 16.1 ( 16 meters and 1 cm)

Width = 15.8 ( 15 meters and 8 cm)

Step-by-step explanation:

i have answered ur question

Final answer:

The Perimeter of the given polygon can be calculated using the distance formula for each of its sides. The calculated distances are added to give a total perimeter of approximately 18.5 units.

Explanation:

The Perimeter of a polygon is calculated by adding the lengths of all its sides. Here, we need to calculate the distance between each pair of points, which gives the length of the sides of the polygon.

The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula sqrt((x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²) .

To find the Perimeter of the polygon, we calculate the distances between each pair of vertices and then add them up:

   

Adding these distances, we get a perimeter of approximately 5 + 4.1 + 3.2 + 4.2 + 2 = 18.5 units, rounded to the nearest tenth of a unit.
