Hi student, let me help you out! :)

We are asked to factor out the GCF in the expression

\star~\star\mathrm{6x^3+3x}~\star~\star

\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}

  • Divide every single term of the expression by the GCF (Greatest Common Factor).

So let's divide.

But first. we should work out the GCF.

Both terms have 3x in common, so we divide both terms by 3x:

\mathrm{6x^3+3x}

\mathrm{3x(2x^2+1)}

To ensure that we've factored correctly, we can always use the distributive property, distribute 3x and see whether or not we end up with \mathtt{6x^3+3x}.

So the answer is

\mathrm{3x(2x^2+1)}

Notice I put parentheses around <em>2x²+1</em>. This indicates that 3x is multiplied times both 2x² and 1.

Hope it helps you out! :D

The graph below shows the height of a projectile t seconds after it is launched. If acceleration due to gravity is –16 ft/s2, wh
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coordinate of the vertex is given by ...

  x = -b/(2a)

for f(x) = ax^2 +bx +c.

We see that the vertex is at x = 1, and we are given a = -16. Then we can find "b" from ...

  1 = -b/(2(-16))

  32 = b

We know the y-intercept of the equation is 5 (the starting height), so the equation must be ...

  h(t) = -16t^2 +32t +5 . . . . . matches the last choice

Gina sells 216 cakes in the ratio small :medium:large 5:7:12. The profit for one medium cake is twice the profit for one small c
Rus_ich [418]
To answer this question you need to first set up the small, medium, large number of cakes as a ratio with a total. From here you will create a new ratio of the correct number of small medium and large Cakes sold using the total 216. The factor would be to multiply by nine. -Step 1 in picture. After this you would read what the relationship is between a medium and a small and the large and the small profits are - Step 2 in picture. After this you would represents the total profit based on the number of small medium and large cakes that were sold. Making this equal to L648.45. To find the profit for one small, you would then divide 648.45 by the 495 you got when you simplify the expression. The answer is L1.31.
