Hello,

If we want to factor the expression, we have to solve

3x² + 10x + 8 = 0

a = 3 ; b = 10 ; c = 8

∆ = b² - 4ac = 10² - 4 × 3 × 8 = 4 > 0

x1 = (-b - √∆)/2a = (-10 - 2)/6 = -12/6 = -2

x2 = (-b + √∆)/2a = (-10 + 2)/6 = -8/6 = -4/3

Factor :

a (x - x1)(x - x2)

= 3(x + 2)(x + 4/3)

= (x + 2)(3x + 4)

From the line bisected with the given midpoints, we have been able to prove that; BC = CE by substitution property of Equality

We are given that;

C is the midpoint of BD

D is the midpoint of CE

1) Thus, BC = CD because of definition of Midpoint.

2) Similarly, by definition of midpoint we know that CD = DE.

3)  We can say that BC = DE because of substitution property of equality.

4) We can say that BC + CD = BD because of segment addition postulate.

5) Similarly, by segment addition postulate, we can say that CD + DE = CE.

6) Finally we can say that BC = CE by substitution property of Equality

The average number of hours worked per week drop from 2009 to 2010 dropped by 1.16%

The average work weeks are given as:

Year 2009 = 43 hours

Year 2010 = 42 hours 30 minutes

Rewrite as:

Year 2010 = 42.5 hours

The percentage change is then calculated as:

Percentage change= (Final - Initial)/Initial * 100%

So, we have:

Percentage change= (42.5 - 43)/43* 100%

Evaluate

Percentage change= -1.16%

The probability of drawing a red marble and then a green marble is:

P = 1/6.

In the jar we have a total of 16 marbles, such that:

First, the probability of getting a red marble is give by the quotient between the number of red marbles and the total number of marbles:

p = 4/16 = 1/4

Now we need to draw a green one, the probability is computed in the same way, but this time there are 15 marbles, because we already took one.

q = 10/15

The joint probability (first drawing red, then green) is given by the product between the individual probabilities:

The value of x in the similar triangles is 18

Similar triangles have the same shapes but may have different sizes.

Corresponding side of similar triangles are a ratio of each other.

Therefore,

UV / BC = AU / AB

Hence,

UV = 444 units

BC = 703

AU = 20x + 108

AB = 20x + 108 + 273 = 20x + 381

Therefore,

444 / 703 = 20x + 108 /  20x + 381

cross multiply

444( 20x + 381) = 703(20x + 108)

8880x + 169164 = 14060x + 75924

8880x  - 14060x  = 75924 -  169164

This graph has its maximum at 4. There is no minimum while the inflection is at 2, 10/3.

We have ( x-2²) (x-4)

x - 2 = 0, x = 2

Hence we can see that the graph has its minimum at x = 4

b. The graph here does not have a local maximum

To do this you have to differentiate the equation

Use the product rule of differentiation in order to solve for the solution.

(x-2)²[ (x-4) 2 (x-2)]

Given that A race track is miles long

The car race is 200 laps then we have to find the number of miles the driver travel.

If the race track is x miles long, then one lap around the track is x miles.

If the race is 200 laps, the total distance covered by the drivers is:

Theorem 9 applies to congruent alternate interior angles.

The second option saves time and cleaning elements, so that one is better.

We know that every day you sell a total of 50 bowls, and each one needs 8 oz of onion, this means that you need:

50*8 oz = 400 oz

So you need 400 ounces of onion per day.

If you buy at $1.99 per pound (1 lb = 16 oz)

Then the cost per ounce is:

c = $1.99/16

And the cost of 400 ounces is:

C = ($1.99/16)*400 = $49.75

In the case of the pre-sliced onions, the total cost would be:

C' = ($2.99/16)*400 = $74.75

So in the first case, each portion costs:

$49.75/50 = $0.995

And in the second case:

$74.75/50 =$1.495

So the extra cost is returned by the extra time and savings in cleaning elements, thus, the second option is better.

From the figure, the coordinates of ABC are
