Answer:

(x -3)(x+3)(2x +1)
(x -1)(x +1)(x +3)
(2x -1)(2x +1)(x -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 2x³ +x² -18x -9 = x²(2x +1) -9(2x +1) = (x² -9)(2x +1) = (x -3)(x+3)(2x +1)

B) x³ +3x² -x -3 = x²(x +3) -1(x +3) = (x² -1)(x +3) = (x -1)(x +1)(x +3)

C) 4x³ -16x² -x +4 = 4x²(x -4) -1(x -4) = (4x² -1)(x -4) = (2x -1)(2x +1)(x -4)

_____

In each case, the third-level factoring mentioned in step 4 is the factoring of the difference of squares: a² -b² = (a -b)(a +b).

_____

The step-by-step is exactly what you need to do. It is simply a matter of following those instructions. You do have to be able to recognize the common factors of a pair of terms. That will be the GCF of the numbers and the least powers of the common variables.

When Groundhog Day is

Scilla [17]

<h3>Answer: 175,000 dollars</h3>

====================================================

Work Shown:

2/3 of 15,000 = (2/3)*15000 = 10,000

This means 10,000 people take the shuttle bus to the park. If each person pays $5 to take the bus, then the city earns 5*10,000 = 50,000 dollar through this option.

The rest pay for parking, so 15,000-10,000 = 5,000 people pay for parking. At $25 each, this amounts to 25*5,000 = 125,000 dollars earned through this option.

Overall, the city earns a total of 50,000+125,000 = 175,000 dollars

Side note: this assumes that the remaining 5,000 people all take separate cars and no single car has more than one person. This is very unrealistic as there are likely to be families or carpools of some kind. So in reality, the answer shown above is an upper estimate of the total revenue.

What is the equation of the line (in slope-intercept form) that passes through the point (5,−1) and is parallel to the line y=2x

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let}\\\\k:y=m_1x+b_1\\\\l:y=m_2x+b_2\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\\\l\ \parallel\ k\iff m_1=m_2\\\\===============================$

$\text{The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:}\\\\y=mx+b\\\\m-slope\\b-y-intercept\\\\==========================$

$\text{We have the equation of a line:}\ y=2x-7\to m_1=2.\\\\\text{The slope of a parallel line:}\ m_2=m_1=2.\\\\\text{We have the equation:}\\\\y=2x+b\\\\\text{Put the coordinates of the point (5, -1) o the equation:}\\\\-1=2(5)+b\\-1=10+b\qquad\tex\text{subtract 10 from both sides}\\-11=b\to b=-11\\\\\text{Finally:}\\\\y=2x-11$
