Answer:

D. (x-6)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a polynomial x^2-4x-12. We are asked to find the factors of our given polynomial.

We will use splitting the middle term format of factoring quadratic polynomial.

We need two numbers, whose product is -12 and whose sum is -4. Such two numbers are  -6\text{ and }2.

x^2-6x+2x-12

(x^2-6x)+(2x-12)

Factor out GCF of each group:

x(x-6)+2(x-6)

(x-6)(x+2)

Therefore, factors of our given expression are (x-6)(x+2) and option D is the correct choice.

How do you sole this question kelpie sold cameras on her web site. She bought the cameras for $65 each included a 60% markup to
postnew [5]
So 65 dollars was what she paid
each camera INCLUDED a 60% mark UP so
she sold each at a 60% markup

65 dollars=100% of origonal camers
she sold them for 100+60=160% of origonal price
65 dollars=100%
percent means parts out of 100 so
160%=160/100=1.6

find 160% of 65
'of' means multiply so
1.6 times 65=104

she sold each camera at $104

a traveler has 7 pieces of luggage . how many ways can the traveler select 3 pieces of luggage for a trip
7nadin3 [17]
Well, you could assign a letter to each piece of luggage like so...

A, B, C, D, E, F, G

What you could then do is set it against a table (a configuration table to be precise) with the same letters, and repeat the process again. If the order of these pieces of luggage also has to be taken into account, you'll end up with more configurations.

My answer and workings are below...

35 arrangements without order taken into consideration, because there are 35 ways in which to select 3 objects from the 7 objects.

210 arrangements (35 x 6) when order is taken into consideration.

*There are 6 ways to configure 3 letters.

Alternative way to solve the problem...

Produce Pascal's triangle. If you want to know how many ways in which you can choose 3 objects from 7, select (7 3) in Pascal's triangle which is equal to 35. Now, there are 6 ways in which to configure 3 objects if you are concerned about order.

Morgan, Dakota and Taylor showed their work solving the equation 7x+5x+1=73. Identify the student with the invalid first step an
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation solved by Morgan, Dakota and Taylor expressed as 7x+5x+1=73, to get the value of x, the valid steps are as shown;

7x+5x+1=73

take the sum of 7x and 5x

12x+ 1 = 73

subtract 1 from both sides

12x+1-1 = 73-1

12x = 72

Divide both sides by 12

12x/12 = 72/12

x = 6

Based on the calculation above, the students with invalid first step is Dakota.

<em>Dakota added 5x with 1 to get 6x which is an invalid step because 1 is not attached to a variable x. A function cannot be added to a constant hence making his first step invalid.</em>
