12k-1 is the simplified answer
Answer:
P(x) = (x-1)² (x-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
P(x)=x³- 5x² + 7x-3 = x² (x-1) - 4x(x-1) + 3(x-1) = (x²-4x+3)(x-1)
P(x) = (x-1)(x-3)(x-1) = (x-1)² (x-3)
Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
This shape is a prism; it's a 3-D shape with 6 sides. Basically, it's a box.
All 6 sides are rectangles.
Surface area means that we'll find the area of all 6 rectangles and add them up.
There's a front and back, left and right, and a top and bottom.
The area of a rectangle is length×width or base×height.
The front and back are identical.
Area = length×width
Area = 6×3 = 18
Since the front and back are the same, two of the rectangles have area = 18.
The left and right are the same:
Area = 3 × 2
Area = 6
Two faces have area = 6.
The top and bottom are the same.
Area = 6 × 2
Area = 12
Again, two faces have area = 12.
To find the total surface area, add up all 6 areas.
A =18+18+6+6+12+12
A = 72
