What is 3 - 1.5? Please also explain!

The polynomial 10x3 + 35x2 - 4x - 14 is factored by grouping. 10x3 + 35x2 - 4x - 14 5x )-20 what is the common factor that is missing from both sets of parentheses?

Need match the functions with correct transformation. f(x) = -3x f(x) = |x-1|+3 f(x) = √(x+3) 1/2x² f(x) = (x+1)²-3 4|x| 1. compress by a factor of 1/2 2. stretch by a factor of 4 3. shift to the left 3 4. shift to the left 1 5. shift up 3 6. reflection

Aspacecraft can attain a stable orbit 300 kilometers above earth if it reaches a velocity of 7.7 kilometers per second. the formula for a rocket's maximum velocity v in kilometers per second is vequalsminus0.0098tplusc ln upper r, where t is the firing time in seconds, c is the velocity of the exhaust in kilometers per second, and r is the ratio of the mass of the rocket filled with fuel to the mass of the rocket without fuel. find the velocity of a spacecraft whose booster rocket has a mass ratio of 20, an exhaust velocity of 2.1 km/s, and a firing time of 15 s. can the spacecraft achieve a stable orbit 300 km above earth?
