Answer: (x-6)(x+1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum : x2 − 5 x- 6
x2 + x-=6 x − 6
factor pair: x 2 + x − 6 x − 6
x( x+ 1 ) − 6 ( x + 1 )
rewrite from: x (x + 1 ) − 6 ( x + 1 )
(x-6)(x+1)

Answer:
- 7.5 ft
- 32.5 ft, 5 ft
- 10.7 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The starting height is h(0) = 7.5 feet, the constant in the quadratic function.
The irrigation system is positioned <u> 7.5 </u> feet above the ground
__
b) The axis of symmetry for quadratic ax^2 +bx +c is x = -b/(2a). For this quadratic, that is x=-10/(2(-1)) = 5. This is the horizontal distance to the point of maximum height. The maximum height is ...
h(5) = (-5 +10)(5) +7.5 = 32.5 . . . feet
The spray reaches a maximum height of <u> 32.5 </u> feet at a horizontal distance of <u> 5 </u> feet from the sprinkler head.
__
c) The maximum distance will be √32.5 + 5 ≈ 10.7 ft.
The spray reaches the ground at about <u> 10.7 </u> feet away.
HOW TO SOLVE:
1) use x as a variable
2) the starting equation is:
4x + 3x + 5x = 18
3) add all the like terms on the left side of the equation:
12x = 18
4) Divide by 12 on both sides:
x=1.5
5) Find the lengths of the sides:
- 4x = 4(1.5) = 6
- 3x = 3(1.5) = 4.5
- 5x = 5(1.5) = 7.5
SO, the lengths of the sides of this triangle are: 6, 4.5, and 7.5
Answer:
D. 11
Step-by-step explanation:
T = total savings
w = number of weeks
Paige:
T = 350 + 25w
Cindy:
T = 190 + 40w
In how many weeks will Cindy have more money in her savings than Paige
Equate the total savings of both of them
350 + 25w = 190 + 40w
Collect like terms
350 - 190 = 40w - 25w
160 = 15w
w = 160/15
w = 10.67
Approximately,
In 11 weeks, will Cindy have more money in her savings than Paige
Check:
Paige:
T = 350 + 25w
= 350 + 25(11)
= 350 + 275
= 625
Cindy:
T = 190 + 40w
= 190 + 40(11)
= 190 + 440
= 630
Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of marbles is
6+12 = 18
P( red) = red/total
= 6/18
=1/3
