Express the quadratic in factored form for 4x2 + 25x + 28 = 2x2 + x – 8

is the factored form of given quadratic equation

Solution:

Given that we have to express the quadratic equation in factored form

A factored form is a parenthesized algebraic expression

The factored form of a equation means it is written as a product of its factors.

Put all terms on one side of the equal sign, leaving zero on the other side.

Combine the like terms to get a standard quadratic equation

Factor out 2 from above equation

Thus the factored form is found out

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
