What’s the geometric mean of 256 and 4

Mathematics

Answer: 32

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, we get the geometric mean of a group of n numbers by taking the nth root of the product of the numbers.

Since 256 = 16^2 and 4 =2^2 are perfect squares, the easiest method is to multiply their square roots:

Geometric mean of 256 and 4:

= 16^2 × 2^2

= 16 × 2

= 32

Is X +3 a factor of 2X squared minus 2X -12
Fantom [35]

Answer: No, x+3 is not a factor of 2x^2-2x-12

========================================================

Explanation:

Let p(x) = 2x^2 - 2x - 12

If we divide p(x) over (x-k), then the remainder is p(k). I'm using the remainder theorem. A special case of the remainder theorem is that if p(k) = 0, then x-k is a factor of p(x).

Compare x+3 = x-(-3) to x-k to find that k = -3.

Plug x = -3 into the function

p(x) = 2x^2 - 2x - 12

p(-3) = 2(-3)^2 - 2(-3) - 12

p(-3) = 12

We don't get 0 as a result so x+3 is not a factor of p(x) = 2x^2 - 2x - 12

----------------------------------------

Let's see what happens when we factor p(x)

2x^2 - 2x - 12

2(x^2 - x - 6)

2(x - 3)(x + 2)

The factors here are 2, x-3 and x+2

Sarah makes $10 an hour babysitting and $5 an hour gardening. her goal is to make $80 a week while working 12 hours. how many ho
vekshin1
Call b the amount of babysitting hours and 5 the amount of gardening hours.

10b+5g=80
b+g=12

Subtract 5 times the second equation from the first to get:

5b=20
Thus, b=4.  g=12-4, or 8.  Therefore, Sarah spends 4 hours babysitting and the rest gardening.
