Hi guys can you help me factor these two equations?

5x^2-13x-6

4x^4 – 28x^3 + 48x^2

please show your work on both of them, and thank you so much!
(Edit I have to repost this question bc i really need it answered. I'm offering more points now!

Answers

Answer 1
Problem # 1

Not Factored: (5x^2 - 13x - 6)
Factored: (5x + 2 )(x - 3)

There is no real "work" to be shown for this, you can see that
1) Seperating 5x^2 into 5x and x will get you the equation in the form:
 (5x     ) (x      )  = 5x^2 +

2) To complete this factor you need to guess which two numbers will add together to give you - 13x and multiply to form -6 (from the original unfactored equation). The numbers that will do this are 2 and 3

3) You can plug in negative or positives of those numbers to make sure they give you the exact results you need.

For example testing -2 and 3 you will get: (5x - 2) (x + 3 ) = 5(x^2) - 2x + 15x - 6 = 5x^2 +13x - 6.  This is NOT the same as the unfactored equation. So you know -2 and 3 is the wrong choice. Choosing 2 and -3 will give you the answer instead.

As i said, there's no actual "work" to show this, you have to make guesses and try to factor it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem # 2

Not Factored: 4x^4 - 28x^3 + 48x^2
Factored: 4x^2 (x^2 - 7x + 12) =
                4x^2 (x  - 3) (x - 4)

To solve this, you factor out the 4x^2 from the entire equation. Then you can further factor the quadratic equation by seperating x^2 into (x    )(x    ) and guessing for which numbers will add to -7x and multiply to 12

Robin bought a computer for $1,250. It will depreciate, or decrease in value, by 10% each year that she owns it.

a) Is the sequence formed by the value at the beginning of each year arithmetic, geometric, or neither? Explain.
b) Write an explicit formula to represent the sequence.
c) Find the value of the computer at the beginning of the 6th year.

Answers

Remember that the general formula of geometric sequence is [tex]a _{n} =(a_{1})(r^{n-1})[/tex]
where 
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] is the nth term
[tex]a_{1}[/tex] is the difference
[tex]n[/tex] is the place of the term in the sequence
Also, to find [tex]r[/tex] we will use the formula: [tex]r= \frac{a_{n}}{a_{n-1}} [/tex]
where 
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] is the current term in the sequence 
[tex]a_{n-1}[/tex] is the previous term 

a) Lets find the three first terms of our sequence to check what type of sequence we have:
We know for our problem that the initial value of the computer is $1250, so our first term is 1250. In other words [tex]a_{1}=1250[/tex].
To fin our second term [tex]a_{2][/tex], we are going to subtract 10% of the value to our original value:
[tex](1250)( \frac{10}{100} )=125[/tex] and [tex]1250-125=1125[/tex], so 
[tex]a_{2}=1125[/tex]
To find our third term [tex]a_{3}[/tex] we are going to subtract yet again 10% to our current value:
[tex](1125)( \frac{10}{100} )=112.5[/tex] and [tex]1125-112.5=1012.5[/tex], so
[tex]a_{3}=1012.5[/tex]
Now that we have our sequence [tex]1250 , 1125 , 1012.5[/tex] lets check if we have a consistent [tex]r[/tex] to prove we have a geometric sequence:
- with [tex]a_{n}=1012.5[/tex], and [tex]a_{n-1}=1125[/tex]:
  [tex]r= \frac{1012.5}{1125}=0.9[/tex]
- with [tex]a_{n}=1125[/tex], and [tex]a_{n-1}=1250[/tex]:
  [tex]r= \frac{1125}{1250}=0.9[/tex]
Look! our [tex]r[/tex]s are the same, so we can conclude that we have a geometric sequence.

b) To do this we just need to replece the values of our sequence in the general formula of a geometric sequence. We know from our previous point that [tex]a_{1}=1250[/tex] and [tex]r=0.9[/tex]. So lets replace those values in geometric sequence formula to find our explicit formula:
[tex]a_{n}=1250(0.9)^{n-1}[/tex]

c) To find the value of the computer at the beginning of the 6th year, we just need to find the 6th therm in our geometric sequence:
[tex]a_{n}=1250(0.9)^{n-1}[/tex]
[tex]a_{6}=1250(0.9)^{6-1}[/tex]
[tex]a_{6}=1250(0.9)^{5}[/tex]
[tex]a_{6}=738.1125[/tex]
We can conclude that the value of the computer at the beginning of the 6th year will be $738.1125

We want to answer different things about an exponential decay, the answers are:

a) Geometric.b) [tex]A_n = (0.9)^{n-1}*1250[/tex]c) $738.10.

So we know that the original price of the computer is $1250 and the value decays by 10% each year.

So in year 1, the new value of the computer will be:

V = $1250*(1 - 0.1) = $1250*0.9

On year 2, the new value will be:

V = ( $1250*0.9)*0.9 = $1250*(0.9)^2

And so on.

a) This sequence is a geometric sequence because each term is a constant times the previous term, where the constant is 0.9.

[tex]A_1 = 1250\\A_2 = 0.9*1250 = 1125\\A_3 = 0.9^2*1250 = 0.9*1125 = 1012.5 \\...[/tex]

b) The explicit formula for a geometric sequence is:

[tex]A_n = k^{n-1}*A_1[/tex]

where:

k is the constant, in this case, is 0.9

A1 is the first term of the sequence, in this case, is 1250

Then we have:

[tex]A_n = (0.9)^{n-1}*1250[/tex]

c) Here we just need to replace n by 6 in the above formula:

[tex]A_6 = (0.9)^5*1250 = 738.1125[/tex]

This means that the price of the computer in the 6th year is $738.10

Find the area

Answers

In this problem, you are asked to find the area of the trapezoid. The formula in finding the area of the trapezoid is:

A = [(a + b)/2] x h

Where a = base 1

             b = base 2

             h = height

Substituting the given measurements to the formula:

A = [(1.7 m + 6.7 m) / 2] x 5 m

A = (8.4 m / 2) x 5 m

A = 4.2 m x 5 m

A = 21 m^2

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 21 square meters.

14ich long 9inch wide half of shape with dotted line

Answers

1. To solve this problem you must sum the volume of the cone and the volume of the hemisphere. This means that the volumen of the prop is:

 Vt=Vc+Vh

 Vt is the volumen of the prop.
 Vc is the volumen of the cone.
 Vh is the volume of the hemisphere.

2. The volume of the cone (Vc) is:

 Vc=1/3(πr²h)

 r=9 in
 h=14 in
 π=3.14

 4. Then, you have:

 Vc=(3.14)(9 in)²(14 in)/3
 Vc=3560.76 in³/3
 Vc=1186.92

 5. The volume of the hemisphere (Vh) is:

 Vh=2/3(πr³)

 π=3.14
 r=9 in

 6. Then, you have:

 Vh=(2)(3.14)(9 in)³/3
 Vh=4578.12 in³/3
 Vh=1526.04 in³

 7. Finally, the volumen of the prop (Vt) is:

 Vt=Vc+Vh
 Vt=1186.92 in³+1526.04 in³
 Vt=2713.0 in³

the radioisotope cobalt-60 is used in cancer therapy. the half-life isotope is 5.27 years. which is equation determines the percent of an initial isotope remaining after t years?

Answers

Answer : The equation determines the percent of an initial isotope remaining after t years is, [tex]\frac{a}{a_o}\times 100=2^{(-\frac{t}{5.27})}[/tex]

Explanation :

Half-life = 5.27 years

Formula used :

[tex]a=\frac{a_o}{2^n}[/tex]        ............(1)

where,

a = amount of reactant left after n-half lives

[tex]a_o[/tex] = Initial amount of the reactant

n = number of half lives

And as we know that,

[tex]n=\frac{t}{t_{1/2}}[/tex]        ..........(2)

where,

t = time

[tex]t_{1/2}[/tex] = half-life  = 5.27 years

Now equating the value of 'n' from (2) to (1), we get:

[tex]a=\frac{a_o}{2^{(\frac{t}{t_{1/2}})}}[/tex]       ...........(3)

[tex]a=\frac{a_o}{2^{(\frac{t}{5.27})}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{a}{a_o}\times 100=2^{(-\frac{t}{5.27})}[/tex]

Therefore, the equation determines the percent of an initial isotope remaining after t years is, [tex]\frac{a}{a_o}\times 100=2^{(-\frac{t}{5.27})}[/tex]

Final answer:

The equation that determines the percent of an initial isotope remaining after t years is: Percent remaining = (100) x (1/2)^(t/h), where t is the number of years and h is the half-life of the isotope.

Explanation:

The equation that determines the percent of an initial isotope remaining after t years is: Percent remaining = (100) x (1/2)(t/h), where t is the number of years and h is the half-life of the isotope.

For example, for the radioisotope cobalt-60 with a half-life of 5.27 years, you can use the equation Percent remaining = (100) x (1/2)(t/5.27) to determine the percent remaining after t years.

Let's say you want to find the percent remaining after 10 years, you would substitute t with 10 in the equation, like this: Percent remaining = (100) x (1/2)(10/5.27). Simplify the equation to find the answer.

An explosion causes debris to rise vertically with an initial velocity of 160 feet per second. What is the speed of debris when the height is 300 feet?

I am using the formula: -16t^2 + vot + h0 because the question is referring to feet.

Answers

The question is asking what v_final is, given that v_initial is at 300 feet. and v_initial is at 0 feet.  
We know there will be a constant downward acceleration of 32.15 ft/s^2.
 Use the following equation: 
 v_final^2 = v_initial^2 + 2ah
 v_final^2 = (160 ft/s)^2 + 2(-32.15 ft/s^2)(300 ft) = 6310 ft^2/s^2
 v_final = (6310 ft^2/s^2)^1/2 = 79.4 ft/s.

The speed of the debris is 79.4 ft/s

Calculation of the speed:

Since there is an initial velocity of 160 feet per second, height is 300feet

So, we applied the below formula

[tex]v_({final})^2 = v_({initial})^2 + 2ah\\\\ v_({fina})l^2 = (160 ft/s)^2 + 2(-32.15 ft/s^2)(300 ft)\\\\ = 6310 ft^2/s^2\\\\ = (6310 ft^2/s^2)^{1/2}\\\\ = 79.4 ft/s.[/tex]

Therefore, The speed of the debris is 79.4 ft/s

Answers

I've downloaded a graph for you. It is one of the first things you should always think about with a question like this one. You should notice the following about it:
1. The denominator gives a discontinuity point at (x = - 6). You can tell that is happening just by looking at the graph at x = - 6. The range at that point is - infinity to plus infinity. Other critical points are much better behaved. The y intercept is when x = 0 or 4/6 = 2/3.  So the point is (0,2/3)

There is one x intercept at y = 0. When that happens 
x + 4  = 0
x = - 4
Point (-4,0) 

Notice the whole denominator gets multiplied out. 0 * (x + 6) = 0

 5^4=625
 5^5=3125
 5^6=15625

 6. The answer is shown in the image attached.

Final answer:

The series 5+25+125+625+3125+15625 can be rewritten in sigma notation as Σ 5*5^(n-1) from n=1 to 6, representing a geometric series with a common ratio of 5 and 6 terms.

Explanation:

To rewrite the series 5+25+125+625+3125+15625 using sigma notation, we first need to identify the pattern of the series. We notice that each term is 5 times the previous term, which is a characteristic of a geometric series. A geometric series can be expressed in sigma notation as Σ a*r^(n-1) from n=1 to N, where a is the first term, r is the common ratio between terms, and N is the number of terms.

In this series, a = 5, and r = 5. The series has 6 terms, so N = 6. Therefore, the series in sigma notation is Σ 5*5^(n-1) from n=1 to 6.

[tex]a_{n}=7+(n-1)7[/tex]
[tex]a_{n}=7+7n-7[/tex]
[tex]a_{n}=7n[/tex]
Now that we have the explicit formula for our sequence we can find its first 5 terms:
[tex]a_{1}=7[/tex]
[tex]a_{2}=7(2)=14[/tex]
[tex]a_{3}=7(3)=21[/tex]
[tex]a_{4}=7(4)=28[/tex]
[tex]a_{5}=7(5)=35[/tex]

We can conclude that the first five terms of our arithmetic are: 7,14,21,28,35, and its explicit formula is [tex]a_{n}=7n[/tex]

By Cyntha Schlagel 1The Drifting Rocks are a strange phenomenon still unexplained by science. 2Located in Death Valley, California, the rocks sit on hot, flat ground. 3Unlike normal rocks, they have trails etched behind them as if they have traveled across the sand. 4Some trails are only a few feet. 5Some trails are over a half a mile long. 6Each trail is as baffling as the next. 7The variety of rock movement has baffled scientists for decades. 8Some rocks seem to roll as they move forward. 9Some take unexplainable routes. 10Large ones have traveled past small ones that have stayed still. 11Some scientists suggest that the rocks are pushed by wind. 12Others believe they slide on small amounts of ice or mud. 13So far, research has not confirmed any theory.

READ PASSAGE AND ANSWER 3 QUESTIONS BRAINLY AND LOTS OF POINTSShaking off from my spirit what must have been a dream, I scanned more narrowly the real aspect of the building. Its principal feature seemed to be that of an excessive antiquity. The discoloration of ages had been great. Minute fungi overspread the whole exterior, hanging in a fine tangled web-work from the eaves. Yet all this was apart from any extraordinary dilapidation. No portion of the masonry had fallen; and there appeared to be a wild inconsistency between its still perfect adaptation of parts, and the crumbling condition of the individual stones. In this there was much that reminded me of the specious totality of old wood-work which has rotted for long years in some neglected vault, with no disturbance from the breath of the external air. Beyond this indication of extensive decay, however, the fabric gave little token of instability. Perhaps the eye of a scrutinizing observer might have discovered a barely perceptible fissure, which, extending from the roof of the building in front, made its way down the wall in a zigzag direction, until it became lost in the sullen waters of the tarn.2 Noticing these things, I rode over a short causeway to the house. A servant in waiting took my horse, and I entered the Gothic archway of the hall. A valet, of stealthy step, thence conducted me, in silence, through many dark and intricate passages in my progress to the studio of his master. Much that I encountered on the way contributed, I know not how, to heighten the vague sentiments of which I have already spoken. While the objects around mewhile the carvings of the ceilings, the sombre tapestries of the walls, the ebon blackness of the floors, and the phantasmagoric armorial trophies which rattled as I strode, were but matters to which, or to such as which, I had been accustomed from my infancywhile I hesitated not to acknowledge how familiar was all thisI still wondered to find how unfamiliar were the fancies which ordinary images were stirring up. On one of the staircases, I met the physician of the family. His countenance, I thought, wore a mingled expression of low cunning and perplexity. He accosted me with trepidation and passed on. The valet now threw open a door and ushered me into the presence of his master.3 The room in which I found myself was very large and lofty. The windows were long, narrow, and pointed, and at so vast a distance from the black oaken floor as to be altogether inaccessible from within. Feeble gleams of encrimsoned light made their way through the trellised panes, and served to render sufficiently distinct the more prominent objects around; the eye, however, struggled in vain to reach the remoter angles of the chamber, or the recesses of the vaulted and fretted ceiling. Dark draperies hung upon the walls. The general furniture was profuse, comfortless, antique, and tattered. Many books and musical instruments lay scattered about, but failed to give any vitality to the scene. I felt that I breathed an atmosphere of sorrow. An air of stern, deep, and irredeemable gloom hung over and pervaded all.Read the passage on the left to answer the following questions:3) Which statement BEST summarizes the passage?A)A man is held prisoner inside the home of an old childhood friend.B)A man enters the dreadful home of an old acquaintance only to find it abandoned.C)A man enters the home of an old acquaintance and grows more apprehensive the further he travels.D)A man enters the dreadful home of an old acquaintance and has an unpleasant encounter with the family doctor.4) Which term BEST summarizes the author's description of the House of Usher?A)drearyB)invitingC)odorousD)placid5) How does the theme of man vs. self apply to this passage?A)The narrator is battling his own fear.B)The narrator is struggling with his anger.EliminateC)The narrator is fighting his need for love.D)The narrator is conquering a physical disability.
