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.

What is nine? Huhhhhhhhhhhh?
grigory [225]

Step-by-step explanation: The base of the power in the original equation becomes the base of the log. So we have ^{log}3.

Next, the exponent in the original equation goes on the other side of the equation and finally, the result in the original equation goes inside the log.

So we have ^{log} 3 9 = 2 which is 3² = 9 written in logarithmic form.

This can also be switched around to read 2 = ^{log} 3 = 9.

So the first choice will be your answer.

My work is also show in the image attached,

I just didn't switch it.

0.13 over 0.2 turned into a decimal
fredd [130]
The answer is 0.65
This is the same as 1.3/2 since the decimal must be moved one place to the right for both divisor and dividend.
