Factor the polynomial completely using the X method. x2 + 13x – 48 An x-method chart shows the product a c at the top of x and b at the bottom of x. Above the chart is the expression a x squared + 13 x minus 48. What is the four-term polynomial and factored form of the polynomial? x2 + 7x + 6x – 48 = (x + 7)(x + 6) x2 – 12x + 4x – 48 = (x – 12)(x + 4) x2 + 16x – 3x – 48 = (x + 16)(x – 3) x2 – 16x + 3x – 48 = (x – 16)(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant term of x^2 + 13x – 48 factors into either (3)(-16) or (-3)(16).

Note how 16 - 3 = 13, which is the coefficient of the middle term.  Thus, the factors are

(x + 16)(x - 3) which is equivalent to x^2 + 16x - 3x - 48, or x^2 + 13x - 48.

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3

answer: $34.31

step-by-step explanation:

$11.99 x 3 = $35.97

$35.97 - 10% = $32.37

$32.37 + 6% = $34.31
