Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

given the trinomial

15x² + 11x - 12

consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 15 × - 12 = - 180 and sum = + 11

the factors are + 20 and - 9 , since

+ 20 × - 9 = - 180 and + 20 - 9 = + 11

use these factors to split the x- term

15x² + 20x - 9x - 12 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 5x(3x + 4) - 3(3x + 4) ← factor out (3x + 4) from each term

= (3x + 4)(5x - 3)

Which type of conic section is described by the following equation? Please helpppp plzzzz

Answers

Answer: Choice F. Hyperbola opening up and down.

======================================================

Explanation:

The subtraction symbol between the two fractions indicates right off the bat that we're dealing with a hyperbola. The question now is "How does it open? Does it open up/down? Or does it open left/right?"

To answer this new question, we just need to look at which fraction is negative. The fraction with x in it is negative, so that means the y fraction is positive. The y fraction being positive is the indication of the hyperbola opening up/down.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sam and Jeremy have ages that are consecutive odd integers.The product of their ages is 783. Which equation could be used to
find Jeremy’s age, j, if he is the younger man?
(1) j^2 + 2 = 783 (3) j^2 + 2j = 783
(2) j^2 - 2 = 783 (4) j^2 - 2j = 783

Answers

j, j+2 - consecutive odd integers
j - Jeremy's age
j+2 - Sam's age
The product of their ages is 783.

j(j+2)=783 \nj^2+2j=783

The answer is (3).
consecutive odd integers are 2 awya from each other
1,3,5,7,9...
since jeremy iis younger, he is 2 less than sam
j
s=j+2

sj=783
in terms of j
(j+2)j=783
distribute
j^2+2j=783
