Answer:

18(2x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there! :)

In order to factor 36x - 54, you must find the common factors of it.

So, we must ask ourselves : what number goes into BOTH 36x & -54?

Our answer is going to be 18.

So, let's ask ourselves a couple more questions :

How many times does 18 go into 36x?

How many times does 18 go into -54?

36x ÷ 18 = 2x

-54 ÷ 18 = -3

Therefore, 18 goes into 36x 2 times while 18 goes into -54 3 times.

So now that we know that, simply take 18 out like so :

18(2x - 3)

This is our answer because when multiplied by 2x, 18 turns into 36x. In addition, when multiplied by 18, -3 turns into -54.

Hope I helped! :)

Answer:

9 (4x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

You don't have a common factor but you have a common divider: 9

so the answer is:

9 (4x - 6)

justin needs to take a taxi to the airport. it will coast $1.75 for the first mile and $0.50 for each additional 1/4 of a mile .

lora16 [44]

$57.75 because 14 divided by .25 is 56 and then plus the first mile is 57.75

Find the value of the trigonometric ratio. make sure to simplify the fraction if needed

solong [7]

Answer:

12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

since we are dealing with the angle at Z, we consider Z also to be the center of a circle.

then 10 is the radius of this circle.

24 is tan Z in this circle with radius 10.

tan Z in the standard circle with radius 1 is simply 1/10 of the tan Z in the circle with radius 10.

so, tan Z = 24/10 = 12/5

On what intervals is the graph of f(x)=x^3-2x^2+5x+1 increasing?

amid [387]

$f(x)=x^3-2x^2+5x+1\\ f'(x)=3x^2-4x+5\\
3x^2-4x+5=0\\\Delta=(-4)^2-4\cdot3\cdot5=16-60=-44$
$\Delta0 \Rightarrow$ the graph of the parabola is above the x-axis, so the derivative is always positive and therefore the initial function is increasing in its whole domain.

$f(x)=0.5x^2-6\\
f'(x)=x$
The function is decreasing when its first derivative is negative. The first derivative of this function is negative for $x$ so for $x\in(-\infty,0)$ the function is decreasing.

$f(x)=\dfrac{x+1}{x-1}\qquad(x\not=1)\\
f'(x)=\dfrac{x-1-(x+1)}{(x-1)^2}=-\dfrac{2}{(x-1)^2}$
The function is increasing when its first derivative is positive. The first derivative of this function is always negative therefore this function is never increasing.
