The Greatest Common factor(GCF) of -2x^2-4x-6 is -2(x+1)(x-3)

<h3>What is Greatest Common Factor?</h3>

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the largest factor two or more numbers have in common

From the question,

-2x^2-4x-6

By collecting like terms

-2(x^2-2x-3)

By factoring x^2-2x-3

-2(x^2-3x+1x-3)

Collecting like terms

-2(x^2-3x)+(x-3)

-2(x(x-3)+1(x-3))

-2(x+1)(x-3)

hence -2(x+1)(x-3) is the Greatest Common factor of -2x^2-4x-6 is

What is the solution to this -28=3+8(h-9)??

stiks02 [169]

-28 = 3 + 8(h-9)
-28 = 3 + 8h - 72 (distributive property a(b-c) = ab - ac)
-28 = -69 + 8h (combining like terms ( 3 - 72))
41 = 8h (adding 69 on both sides to isolate 8h)
/8 /8 (dividing coefficient (8) on both sides to isolate h)
5.125 = h

Therefore h = 5.125

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

$\pi$ is pi, or 3.14159

The absolute value of -4 ( |-4| ) is 4.

These numbers should go in this order:

-10 < 0.121212... < $\pi$ < |-4| < $5\frac{1}{2}$

Have a good day!

Verifying Properties of logarithms In Exercise,use a graphing utility to verify that the functions are equivalent for x > 0.

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Applying Quotient and power rule. Graphically, for x>0 both curves coincide.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Firstly, by applying the Quotient and then the Power Rule, we have a subtraction of the argument and, finally the exponent turns to be the coefficient. As it follows:

$lnx=log_{e}x\\\\f(x) = ln({\frac{x^{2}}{4}})\Rightarrow f(x)=ln{x^2}-ln4\Rightarrow f(x)=2lnx-ln4\\g(x) = 2 ln x - ln 4$

2) Check the graph below to see this equivalence. to see x>0 they both coincide.
