Answer: 4x² + x - 2

Step-by-step explanation: First distribute the -2x into (1-3x) which = -2x + 6x²

Now let's work on the second part:

Distributing (2x + 3) to (3x - 2) = 6x² - 4x + 9x - 6. Combining like terms: 6x² - 4x + 9x - 6 --> 6x² + 5x - 6. Now let's combine the like factors of our two equations which equals

12x² + 3x - 6. Now reduce by dividing by 3 which gives us the final answer of:

4x² + x - 2.

Answer:

(a) 144

(b) 117

(d) 588

(e) 5472

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the LCM of two numbers, first find the prime factorization of each number. Then the LCM is the product of common and not common factors with the larger exponent.

(a)

$72 = 2^3 \times 3^2$

$144 = 2^4 \times 3^2$

$LCM = 2^4 \times 3^2 = 8 \times 9 = 144$

(b)

$39 = 3 \times 13$

$117 = 3^2 \times 13$

$LCM = 3^2 \times 13 = 117$

(c)

$72 = 2^3 \times 3^2$

$90 = 2 \times 3^2 \times 5$

$LCM = 2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5 = 360$

(d)

$84 = 2^2 \times 3 \times 7$

$147 = 3 \times 7^2$

$LCM = 2^2 \times 3 \times 7^2 = 588$

(e)

$152 = 2^3 \times 19$

$288 = 2^5 \times 3^2$

$LCM = 2^5 \times 3^2 \times 19 = 5472$

Which of the following sets could be the sides of a right triangle?

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

None of the answer choices are even triangles, let alone right triangles. The sum of the two smaller sides isn't larger than the bigger side on any of the triangles, which means that they cannot be closed.

A quadratic equation is shown below: 3x^2 − 15x + 20 = 0 Part A: Describe the solution(s) to the equation by just determining th

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

These are two questions and two answers:

Question 1:

<span>A quadratic equation is shown below: 3x^2 − 15x + 20 = 0 Part A: Describe the solution(s) to the equation by just determining the radicand. Show your work.

Answer: </span><span>The negative value of the radicand means that the equation does not have real solutions.

Explanation:

1) With radicand the statement means the disciminant of the quadratic function.

2) The discriminant is: b² - 4ac, where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation: ax² + bx + c

3) Then, for 3x² - 15x + 20, a = 3, b = - 15, and c = 20

and the discriminant (radicand) is: (-15)² - 4(3)(20) = 225 - 240 = - 15.

4) The negative value of the radicand means that the equation does not have real solutions.

Question 2:

Part B: Solve 3x^2 + 5x − 8 = 0 by using an appropriate method. Show the steps of your work, and explain why you chose the method used.

Answer: </span> two solutions x = 1 and x = - 8/3x

Explanation:

1) I choose factoring (you may use the quadratic formula if you prefer)

2) Factoring

Given: 3x² + 5x − 8 = 0

Make 5x = 8x - 3x: 3x² + 8x - 3x - 8 = 0

Group: (3x² - 3x) + (8x - 8) = 0

Common factors for each group: 3x(x -1) + 8(x - 1) = 0

Coomon factor x - 1: (x - 1) (3x + 8) = 0

The two solutions are for each factor equal to zero:

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
3x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = -8/3

Those are the two solutions. x = 1 and x = - 8/3
