Answer: No, x+3 is not a factor of 2x^2-2x-12
========================================================
Explanation:
Let p(x) = 2x^2 - 2x - 12
If we divide p(x) over (x-k), then the remainder is p(k). I'm using the remainder theorem. A special case of the remainder theorem is that if p(k) = 0, then x-k is a factor of p(x).
Compare x+3 = x-(-3) to x-k to find that k = -3.
Plug x = -3 into the function
p(x) = 2x^2 - 2x - 12
p(-3) = 2(-3)^2 - 2(-3) - 12
p(-3) = 12
We don't get 0 as a result so x+3 is not a factor of p(x) = 2x^2 - 2x - 12
----------------------------------------
Let's see what happens when we factor p(x)
2x^2 - 2x - 12
2(x^2 - x - 6)
2(x - 3)(x + 2)
The factors here are 2, x-3 and x+2
Answer:
The right options are A and D.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Option A.
The action is:Add 3 to both sides. This means that we need to do the following operation:
x - 3 = 12
∴ x - 3 + 3 = 12 + 3
∴ x = 15
So, the solution of this problem is x = 15.
2. Option D.
The property is:Addition property of equality. This is the property we are chosen because we need to isolate the variable x. To do that, we need to add a number of each side of the equation to find our goal and this property allows us to get our goal.
Ok so first you would create a proportion.
8/x=4/1. Next you cross multiply and divide,
1 • 8÷4=x. Ratios are fractions with the first number being the numerator and the second being the denominator. If you think of it this way, you just find an equivalent fraction. Your answer would be 8:2 because in your proportion x=2.
In order to find who has read more pages, let's find the number of pages read by each one.
The number of pages read by Clancey is:
The number of pages read by Ethan is:
So Ethan read more pages.
The combined number of pages in both books is 240 + 170 = 410.
The combined number of pages read is 60 + 68 = 128
So the fraction is:
