Answer:

x+2

5x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

There is only 2 binomials that will multiply together that will give the given trinomial.

ax^2+bx+c

5x^2+8x-4

Goal: Find two numbers that multiply to be a*c and add up to be b.

We will use this goal to factor our trinomial.

a=5

b=8

c=-4

--------

a*c=-20

b=8

Can you think of two numbers that multiply to be -20 and add up to be 8? I hope you said 10 and -2.

So we are going to replace 8x with -2x+10x.

5x^2+8x-4

5x^2-2x+10x-4

We are going to pair the first terms together and the second two terms together like so:

(5x^2-2x)+(10x-4)

Now we are going to factor each pair.

x(5x-2)+2(5x-2)

(5x-2)(x+2)

So (x+2) is a factor of the given trinomial and (5x-2) is a factor of the given trinomial.

Charles and Seth are building a ramp for Sasha and Samantha. The base of the triangle is 11ft and it's height is 5ft. How long i

Arlecino [84]

Answer: 12.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A ramp represents a right-angled triangle so Pythagorean formula can be used to find the diagonal length which will also be the hypotenuse.

c² = a² + b²

Where:

c = hypotenuse

a = base

b = Height

c² = 11² + 5²

c² = 121 + 25

c² = 146

c = √146

c = 12.1 ft

Advocard [28]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 3 = 2x + 5

4x - 2x = 5 + 3

2x = 8

Which is a solution to (x – 3)(x + 9) = –27? x = –9 x = –3 x = 0 x = 6

likoan [24]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the product is not equal zero, we need to multiply both parenthesis first:

$(x-3)(x+9) =-27$

$x*x+x*9+(-3)*x+(-3)*9=27$

$x^2+9x-3x-27=27$

$x^2+6x-27=27$

Add 27 from both sides:

$x^2+6x-27+27=-27+27$

$x^2-6x=0$

Factor $x$ out:

$x(x+6)=0$

Apply the zero product:

$x=0,x+6=0$

$x=0,x=-6$

The solutions of the equation are $x=0$ and $x=-6$ .

We can conclude that the correct answer is x = 0.
