Factor by grouping. Group up the terms into pairs, factor each pair, then factor out the overall GCF.
x^3 + 2x^2 - 16x - 32
(x^3 + 2x^2) + (-16x-32) ... pair up terms
x^2(x + 2) + (-16x - 32) ... factor x^2 from the first group
x^2(x + 2) - 16(x + 2) ... factor -16 from the second group
(x^2 - 16)(x + 2) .... factor out (x+2)
(x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 2) .... Use the difference of squares to factor x^2-16
---------------------------
The original expression completely factors to (x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 2)
The three factors are x - 4 and x + 4 and x + 2

P(1) = 37,100
P(4) = 58,400
The linear equation (for x ≥ 1)
P(x) = 37,100 + a(x-1)
For x = 4
58,400 = 37,100 + a(4-1)
58,400 - 37,100 = 3a
21300 = 3a
a = 7100
So, the linear equation:
P(x) = 37100 + 7100*(x-1)
P(x) = 37100 + 7100x - 7,100
P(x) = 7100x + 30000
To find when the profit should reach 108100, we can substitute P(x) by 108100.
108100 = 7100x + 30000
108100 - 30000 = 7100x
78100 = 7100x
x = 78100/7100
x = 11

Answer: Number 1 is c=89 ft
Number 2 is b=3 cm
Step-by-step explanation: a²+b²=c²
For number 1, 39 ft is a and 80 ft is b so
39²+80²=c² so 39² is 39x39=1521 and 80² is 80x80=6400 so 6400+1521=7921
7921=c² and the square root of 7921 is 89 so c=89 ft
For number 2, a=1.6 cm and c=3.4 cm so 3.4²-1.6²=b²
3.4² so 3.4x3.4 which is 11.56
1.6² so 1.6x1.6 which is 2.56
11.56-2.56=c² and 11.56-2.56=9
Square root of 9 is 3 so b=3
So number 2 answer is b=3 cm
I hope this helps
The equations x+5x=16
and x+5x+25=16
No, the equations are not equal. In order for an equation to be equal the equation x+5x=16 contains 25 less than the second equation.
