Natalija [7]2 years ago

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)

Most graphing calculators will do weighted averages pretty easily. It is mostly a matter of data entry.

mx = -2
my = 10
(x, y) = (mx, my)/10 = (-0.2, 1)

BRAINLIEST! what are the next 2 terms in the geometric sequence?<br> a1=2,r=-3
LenKa [72]

Answer:

The next two terms after a1 is

-6 and then 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence means your pattern for the terms is multiplication by the same number.

So a1 is the first term and r is your common ratio.

The common ratio is what you are multiplying by each time to figure out the next term.

So the geometric sequence goes like this:

a1 ,  a1*r , (a1*r)*r or a1*r^2 , a1*r^3 ,....

So anyways you have

first term a1=2

second term a2=2(-3)=-6

third term a3=-6(-3)=18

And so on...
