Factor the following:
2 x^3 + x^2 - 18 x - 9
Factor terms by grouping. 2 x^3 + x^2 - 18 x - 9 = (2 x^3 + x^2) + (-18 x - 9) = x^2 (2 x + 1) - 9 (2 x + 1):
x^2 (2 x + 1) - 9 (2 x + 1)
Factor 2 x + 1 from x^2 (2 x + 1) - 9 (2 x + 1):
(2 x + 1) (x^2 - 9)
x^2 - 9 = x^2 - 3^2:
(2 x + 1) (x^2 - 3^2)
Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 3^2 = (x - 3) (x + 3):
Answer: (x - 3) (x + 3) (2 x + 1) thus the Answer is C.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
use formula
A(x,y)=A'(-x,y)
(-2,-3)=(2,-3)
Answer:
B) Associative Property of Multiplication
Step-by-step explanation:
The associative property states you can change where the parentheses (grouping terms) are in a multiplication statement, and you'll get the same product.
More generally:
(a * b) * c = a * (b * c)
