Answer:

n^2 -10n + 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

(n-6)(n-4)

Solution:

Apply distributive property,then simplifying using PEMDAS,we obtain

n^2 - 4n - 6n + 24
n^2 -10n +24

Hence,n^2 -10n -24 is the answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

36x² - 49 ← is a difference of squares and factors in general as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)

then

36x² - 49

= (6x)² - 7²

= (6x - 7)(6x + 7)

Thus 6x - 7 is a factor of the expression

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x) = 8x³ − 12x² − 48x, <em>the critical point of the function occurs at its turning point i,e at f'(x) = 0</em>

First we have to differentiate the function as shown;

$f'(x)= 3(8)x^{3-1}- 2(12)x^{2-1} - 48x^{1-1}\\ \\f'(x) = 24x^2 - 24x-48x^0\\\\f'(x) = 24x^2 - 24x-48\\\\At \ the\turning\ point\ f'(x)= 0\\24x^2 - 24x-48 = 0\\\\\\$

$Dividing \ through \ by \ 24\\\\x^2-x-2 = 0\\\\On \ factorizing\\\\x^2-2x+x-2 = 0\\\\x(x-2)+1(x-2) = 0\\\\(x-2)(x+1) = 0\\\\x-2 = 0 \ and \ x+1 = 0\\\\x = 2 \ and \ -1$
