Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes 10 dimes to make $1; this means $100 is

100(10) = 1000 dimes.

Each dime weighs 2.27 grams; this means 100 dimes is 100(2.27) = 2270 grams.

1 kilogram is 1000 grams; this gives us

2270/1000 = 2.27 kg

Each kilogram is 2.20462 pounds; this means we have

2.27(2.20462) = 5.0044874

This is a little over 5 pounds; yes, the average person can lift this.

$1=10 dimes
$100=10*100=1000 dimes
2.27g*1000=2.27 kg
yes, the average person can

2x^3-x^2+x-2 factorize

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorize:

$f(x)=2x^3-x^2+x-2$

<u>Factor Theorem</u>

If f(a) = 0 for a polynomial then (x - a) is a factor of the polynomial f(x).

Substitute x = 1 into the function:

$\implies f(1)=2(1)^3-1^2+1-2=0$

Therefore, (x - 1) is a factor.

As the polynomial is cubic:

$\implies f(x)=(x-1)(ax^2+bx+c)$

Expanding the brackets:

$\implies f(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx-ax^2-bx-c$

$\implies f(x)=ax^3+(b-a)x^2+(c-b)x-c$

Comparing coefficients with the original polynomial:

$\implies ax^3=2x^3 \implies a=2$

$\implies (b-a)x^2=-x^2 \implies b-2=-1 \implies b=1$

$\implies -c=-2 \implies c=2$

Therefore:

$\implies f(x)=(x-1)(2x^2+x+2)$

Cannot be factored any further.
