sari is teaching her best friend factor trinomials with a leading coefficient greater than 1. she starts with the trinomial 2x^2 + 5x + 3.
show/describe all of the steps for finding the factorization of the trinomial. be sure to include the final factorization in your description.

2x² + 5x + 3 = (2x + 3)(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to factor a trinomial in the form ax² ± bx ± c:

- Look at the last term c  

# If the c term is a positive number, then its factors r , s  will both

 be positive or both be negative  

# a has two factors h and k  

# The brackets are (hx ± r)(kx ± s) where a = hk , c = rs and b = rk + hs

# If the c term is a negative number, then either r or s will be negative,  

  but not both.

# a has two factors h and k  

# The brackets are (hx + r)(kx - s) or (hx - r)(kx + s)where a = hk ,

   c = rs and b = rk - hs

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The equation is 2x² + 5x + 3 = 0

∵ The general form of the equation is ax² + bx + c = 0

∴ a = 2 , b = 5 , c = 3

∵ c is positive

∴ Its factors r and s have same sign

∵ c = 3

∵ 3 = 3 × 1

∴ r = 3 and s = 1  

∵ a = 2  

∵ The factors of a are h , k

∵ 2 = 2 × 1

∴ h = 2 and k = 1  

∵ The brackets are (hx + r)(kx + s)

∴ 2x² + 5x + 3 = (2x + 3)(x + 1)

just do 5.2 + 2 ( 7.2) and 1/3 x 3 (.9) and youv'e got your equation. 0.9( 9/10) + 7.2 ^2 = 16.4 hope i could !

step-by-step explanation:

y=3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

given the points a(0,4) and b(-4, -8)

eqn of line ab: (y-4)/(x-0)=(-8-4)/(-4-0)

(y-4)/x=-12/-4=3

y=3x+4
