Same thing as what you did on the bottom. Find numbers with both 7 as the base and numbers that add to 14 on the top. Possibilities:
1) 7^10•7^4
2)7^6•7^8
37^2•7^12
Answer:
5000 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
1 ton = 2000 pounds
2.5 tons = 2000 x 2.5 or 5,000 pounds
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
Given
2k - 6k² + 4k³ ← factor out 2k from each term
= 2k(1 - 3k + 2k²)
To factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the product of the constant term ( 1) and the coefficient of the k² term (+ 2) which sum to give the coefficient of the k- term (- 3)
The factors are - 1 and - 2
Use these factors to split the k- term
1 - k - 2k + 2k² ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
1(1 - k) - 2k(1 - k) ← factor out (1 - k) from each term
= (1 - k)(1 - 2k)
1 - 3k + 2k² = (1 - k)(1 - 2k) and
2k - 6k² + 4k³ = 2k(1 - k)(1 - 2k)
(b)
Given
2ax - 4ay + 3bx - 6by ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 2a(x - 2y) + 3b(x - 2y) ← factor out (x - 2y) from each term
= (x - 2y)(2a + 3b)
