Factor by grouping. Group up the terms into pairs, factor each pair, then factor out the overall GCF.
x^3 + 2x^2 - 16x - 32
(x^3 + 2x^2) + (-16x-32) ... pair up terms
x^2(x + 2) + (-16x - 32) ... factor x^2 from the first group
x^2(x + 2) - 16(x + 2) ... factor -16 from the second group
(x^2 - 16)(x + 2) .... factor out (x+2)
(x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 2) .... Use the difference of squares to factor x^2-16
---------------------------
The original expression completely factors to (x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 2)
The three factors are x - 4 and x + 4 and x + 2
Immediately omit the negative possible answer. Since 5^2 = 25, 1/5^2 = 1/25.
Answer:
It represents an infinite cylinder of radius 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing to notice is that

<u>represents a circle of radius 4</u>, with its center in the origin of a plane yz, of cartesians coordinates.
Starting from here, we have to put the coordinate x, for all values of x, to complete the space R³. <em>This will enlarge this circle we had on the plane, to infinity</em> (positive and negative on the x-axis).
Finally, we have that this region is a cylinder of radius 4, with center in y=0 and z=0, and of infinite length in the x coordinates.
Answer:
41 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent age of younger child.
We have been given that a mother has two children whose ages differ by 5 years. So the age of older child would be
.
The sum of the squares of their ages is 97. We can represent this information in an equation as:

Let us solve for x.



Divide both sides by 2:






Since age cannot be negative, therefore, age of younger child is 4 years.
Age of older child would be 
Therefore, the age of older child would be 9 years.
We have been given that the square of the mother's age can be found by writing the squares of the children's ages one after the other as a four-digit number.
Square of 4: 
Square of 9:
.
Square of mother's age: 
To find mother's age, we need to take positive square root of 1681 as:

Therefore, the mother is 41 years old.
