Find the missing factor 2x^2+15x+7=(2x+1)(?)

? = (x + 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 15x + 7 = (2x + 1) (?)

1. First you need to figure out what multiplied by 2x will give you 2x^2, which is x.

2. Then you need to find what would give you 15x. In this case because you have the 1 in (2x + 1), you already know that there is going to be an extra x. So, what times 2x gives you 14x? It's 7.

3. Lastly you need to make sure that 1 multiplied with 7 is equal to 7 and combine like terms.

4. Check: (2x + 1) (x + 7) =

2x^2 + 14x + 1x + 7 =

2x^2 + 15x + 7

4a. is 3 miles every hour

4b. is 1/3 of an hour per mile

step-by-step explanation:

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
