Which is a factor of 5x2 − 15x − 20?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sholpan [36]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x= -1, x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

5x²-15x-20

5x²-20x+5x-20=0

5x(x-4) +5(x-4)

(5x+5) (x-4) =0

5x=-5 or x=4

x= -5/5. or x=4

x= -1 or x=4

Complete the square to rewrite y = x2 - 6x + 15 in vertex form. Then state
love history [14]

Since x^2 is the square of x and 6x is twice the product between x and 3, the second square must be 3 squared, i.e. 9.

So, if we think of 15 as 9+6, we have

x^2-6x+9+6 = (x-3)^2+6

Which is the required vertex form. This form tells us imediately that the vertex is the point (3,6).

Since the leading coefficient is 1, the parabola is facing upwards (it's U shaped), so the vertex is a minimum.

Solve X-9+2wx=y for x
maxonik [38]
X - 9 + 2wx = y Add 9 to both sides x + 2wx = y + 9 Factor out the x x (1 + 2w) = y + 9 Divide both sides by (1 + 2w) x = (y + 9) / (1 + 2w)

David proved the Law of Cosines with reference to ∆ABC using a different method. Arrange the steps of his proof in the correct s
AURORKA [14]

Answer: We can arrange the steps with help of below explanation.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Here ABC is a triangle,

Draw a perpendicular from BD to side AC ( construction)

where D\in AC

In the right triangle BCD, from the definition of cosine:

cos C =CD/ BC

CD= a cos C

Subtracting this from the side b, we see that

DA= b-acos C  

In the triangle BCD, from the definition of sine:

sin C =BD  / a

BD = a sin C  

In the triangle ADB, applying the Pythagorean Theorem

c^2  =BD^2 +DA^2  

Substituting for BD and DA from (2) and (3)

c^2 =(asinC)^2 +(b-acosC)^2  

⇒c^2 =a^2sin ^2C+b^2-2ab cosC+a^2 cos ^2C   ( On simplification)

⇒c^2 =a^2sin ^2C+a^2 cos ^2C+b^2-2abcos C

⇒c^2=a^2(sin^2C+cos^2C) +b^2-2abcosC

⇒c^2 = a^2+b^2-2abcosC (because,sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta =1 )

The yearly cost in dollars, y, for a member at a video game arcade based on total game tokens purchased, x, is y =y equals Start
const2013 [10]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{5}x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Yearly Cost for members; y = \frac{1}{10}x + 6

Required

Determine the yearly cost for non members

From the question, we understand that:

<em>A non member pays $0.20 for each game;</em>

Yearly cost is then calculated as thus;

y = Amount * Number of Games

Where:

Amount = $0.2 and Number of Games = x

y = 0.20 * x

Convert 0.2 to fraction

y = \frac{2}{10} * x

Divide the numerator and the denominator by 2

y = \frac{1}{5} * x

y = \frac{1}{5}x

<em>Hence, the yearly cost for non members is </em>

y = \frac{1}{5}x

Given: FGKL is a trapezoid, m∠F=90°, m∠K=120°, FK=LK=a Find: The length of midsegment.
noname [10]

Answer:

  (3/4)a

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle at K is 120°, so the angle at L is its supplement: 60°. That makes triangle FKL an equilateral triangle with a base of FL = a. The vertex at K is centered over the base, so is a/2 from G.

The midsegement length is the average of GK and FL, so is ...

  midsegment = (GK +FL)/2 = (a/2 +a)/2

  midsegment = (3/4)a
