Answer:

(3 x + 2) (4 x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

12 x^2 + 17 x + 6

Factor the quadratic 12 x^2 + 17 x + 6. The coefficient of x^2 is 12 and the constant term is 6. The product of 12 and 6 is 72. The factors of 72 which sum to 17 are 8 and 9. So 12 x^2 + 17 x + 6 = 12 x^2 + 9 x + 8 x + 6 = 3 (3 x + 2) + 4 x (3 x + 2):

3 (3 x + 2) + 4 x (3 x + 2)

Factor 3 x + 2 from 3 (3 x + 2) + 4 x (3 x + 2):

Answer: (3 x + 2) (4 x + 3)

If M is the centroid of triangle GHI, HL=45, JI=63, and KG=60, find the missing measures

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Part a) $ML=15\ units$

Part b) $HM=30\ units$

Part c) $JM=21\ units$

Part d) $MI=42\ units$

Part e) $GM=40\ units$

Part f) $MK=20\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

A <u><em>centroid</em></u> of a triangle is the point where the three medians of the triangle meet. A median of a triangle is a line segment from one vertex to the mid point on the opposite side of the triangle.

The centroid is located two thirds of the distance from any vertex of the triangle

Part a) Find ML

we have

$HL=45\ units$

we know that

$ML=\frac{1}{3}HL$

substitute the given value

$ML=\frac{1}{3}(45)$

$ML=15\ units$

Part b) Find HM

we have

$HL=45\ units$

we know that

$HM=\frac{2}{3}HL$

substitute the given value

$HM=\frac{2}{3}(45)$

$HM=30\ units$

Part c) Find JM

we have

$JI=63\ units$

we know that

$JM=\frac{1}{3}JI$

substitute the given value

$JM=\frac{1}{3}(63)$

$JM=21\ units$

Part d) Find MI

we have

$JI=63\ units$

we know that

$MI=\frac{2}{3}JI$

substitute the given value

$MI=\frac{2}{3}(63)$

$MI=42\ units$

Part e) Find GM

we have

$KG=60\ units$

we know that

$GM=\frac{2}{3}KG$

substitute the given value

$GM=\frac{2}{3}(60)$

$GM=40\ units$

Part f) Find MK

we have

$KG=60\ units$

we know that

$MK=\frac{1}{3}KG$

substitute the given value

$MK=\frac{1}{3}(60)$

$MK=20\ units$

Find the True statement

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

B. A triangle can have only 1 right angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of a right angle as an L. If you have an L connecting to a backwards L, you have an open shape. Triangles have 3 sides and are closed shapes. If a triangle has two right angles, you could connect the two ends but that would give you a square or triangle.

Hope this helped!
