Answer:

4(x-5)(3{x}^{2}+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).

1 - What is the largest number that divides evenly into 12x^3,-60x^2,4x, and -20 ?

It is 4.

2 - What is the highest degree of x that divides evenly into 12x^3,-60x^2,4x, and -20 ?

It is 1, since x is not in every term.

3 - Multiplying the results above,

The GCF is 4.

2)  Factor out the GCF. (Write the GCF first. Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF.)

4(\frac{12{x}^{3}}{4}+\frac{-60{x}^{2}}{4}+\frac{4x}{4}-\frac{20}{4})

3) Simplify each term in parentheses.

4(3{x}^{3}-15{x}^{2}+x-5)

4) Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

4(3{x}^{2}(x-5)+(x-5))

5)  Factor out the common term x-5.

4(x-5)(3{x}^{2}+1)

In parallelogram ABCD , BE=7x−2 and ED=x2−10 .
Stells [14]

I'm assuming that the diagonals intersect at E. Since diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, BE=ED.

  • 7x-2=x²-10
  • x²-7x-8=0
  • (x-8)(x+1)=0
  • x = -1, 8

As distance must be positive, we reject the negative case, so x=8.

Thus, BE=ED=54.

If f(y) = 2y - 2/5,<br> what is f(f^-1(1024))?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

-0.399

Step-by-step explanation:

f^-1(1024)=(2*1024-2/5)^-1= 0.000488

f(0.000488)=2*0.000488-2/5= -0.399

Which statement is best represented by the inequality c greater-than 3 and one-half?
luda_lava [24]

Answer: Chef Andre used more than 3 and one-half cups of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the > ‘greater than sign. For the question, we are to get the inequality that shows that"c is greater-than 3 and one-half".

Let Chef Andre be represented by c. Greater than is used to denote a situation when something is."more than" another thing. In this scenario,

Chef Andre used more than 3 and one-half cups of flour. This can be represented as C > 3 1/2.

This is the correct answer.
