Factorise the expression 3a2-4ab as far as possible

1 answer:

7 0

In this case, you have to find a common multiple of 3a^2 and 4ab. As only one of the numbers is divisible by two, this means that two cannot go outside of the bracket. The only other aspect that is in both sides of the equation is a, therefore, this goes outside the bracket. The best way to approach this is to divide both sides by a, and this will give you what is inside the bracket. 3a^2 divided by a is 3a, therefore, this is the first aspect in the bracket. -4ab divided by a, leaves -4b. Therefore, these go in the bracket.
3a^2- 4ab simplified is a(3a-4b)
Hope this helps

The function f(t) = 4t^2 − 8t + 6 shows the height from the ground f(t), in meters, of a roller coaster car at different times t

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

C - f(t) = 4(t − 1)^2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 2 meters from the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we're asked to rewrite the given equation f(t) = 4t^2 − 8t + 6 in the form f(t) = a(t - h)^2 + k (which is known as the "vertex form of the equation of a parabola.") Here (h, k) is the vertex and a is a scale factor.

Let's begin by factoring 4 out of all three terms:

f(t) = 4 [ t^2 - 2t + 6/4 ]

Next, we must "complete the square" of t^2 - 2t + 6/4; in other words, we must re-write this expression in the form (t - h)^2 + k.

Find an equation of the circle that satisfies the given conditions.

hodyreva [135]

The equation of a circle:
$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$
(h,k) - the coordinates of the centre
r - the radius

The midpoint of the diameter is the centre of a circle.
The coordinates of the midpoint:
$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$
(x₁,y₁), (x₂,y₂) - the coordinates of endpoints

$P(-1,1) \\
x_1=-1 \\ y_1=1 \\ \\ Q(5,9) \\ x_2=5 \\ y_2=9 \\ \\
\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}=\frac{-1+5}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2 \\ \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}=\frac{1+9}{2}=\frac{10}{2}=5$

The centre of the circle is (2,5).

The radius is the distance between an endpoint of the diameter and the centre.
The formula for distance:
$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$(-1,1) \\ x_1=-1 \\ y_1=1 \\ \\ (2,5) \\ x_2=2 \\ y_2=5 \\ \\ d=\sqrt{(2-(-1))^2+(5-1)^2}=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5$

The radius is 5.

$(x-2)^2+(y-5)^2=5^2 \\
\boxed{(x-2)^2+(y-5)^2=25}$
