Answer:

a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

6x^3+18x^2-240x=6x(x^2+3x-40)\\\\\text{** The sum of the zeroes is -3=-8+5 and the product is -40=-8*5. **}\\\\\text{** So, we can factorise. **}\\\\6x^3+18x^2-240x=6x(x^2+3x-40)=6x(x^2+8x-5x-40)\\\\=6x(x(x+8)-5(x+8))\\\\\large \boxed{=6x(x+8)(x-5)}

So, a = 5.

Thank you.

Answer:

The percentage increase in bird population in the second years is 4%  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

During two years, the population of birds of an island became 7 times more than before.

The the percentage increase in first year = = r_1 =40%

Let The percentage increase in second year =  r_2 = r%

So, According to question

The initial population of bird = x

The increase population of bird =7 times before = 7 x

Now,

The increase population of bird = initial population of bird × (1+ \dfrac{r_1}{100}) ×  (1+ \dfrac{r_2}{100})

Or, 7 x = x × (1+ \dfrac{40}{100}) ×  (1+ \dfrac{r}{100})

Or, \dfrac{7 x}{x} = 1.4 ×  (1+ \dfrac{r}{100})

Or, 7 = 1.4 ×  (1+ \dfrac{r}{100})

Or, \dfrac{7 }{1.4} = (1+ \dfrac{r}{100})

Or, 5 = (1+ \dfrac{r}{100})

Or, (1+ \dfrac{r}{100}) = 5

Or, \dfrac{r}{100} = 5 - 1

Or,  \dfrac{r}{100} = 4

∴ r = 4 × 100

I.e r = 400

so, The percentage increase = r% = 4

Hence The percentage increase in bird population in the second years is 4%  . Answer

Ross would be the correct answer. To figure it out you would divide 27/3 which is 9 and then 49/7 which is 7. So 9>7.
