The factors of 6x - 5 - x2 are A. -(x + 3)(x + 2) B. (x + 5)(x + 1) C. (x - 5)(1 - x) D. (x + 1)(x + 5)
Show Content
Detailed Solution6x - 5 - x2 = (-1)(-x2 - 5 + 6x)= x2 - 6x + 5 = (x - 5)(x - 1) -(x - 1) = 1 - x = (x - 5)(1 - x) |

Which of the following lines is not parallel to the line 3y + 2x + 7 = 0? A. 3y + 2x - 7 = 0 B. 9y + 6x + 17 = 0 C. 24y + 16x + 19 = 0 D. 3y - 2x + 7 = 0 E. 15y + 10x - 13 = 0
Show Content
Detailed SolutionTwo lines are said to be parallel if the slope of the two lines are equal.The equation : \(3y + 2x + 7 = 0\) \(3y = -2x - 7\) \(y = \frac{-2}{3} x - \frac{7}{3}\) \(\frac{\mathrm d y}{\mathrm d x} = - \frac{2}{3}\) All the options have the same slope except \(3y - 2x + 7 = 0\). |
