Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Eliminate answer 4 immediately, because (4)(3) is not 7.
Look at answer 2: 7x + 3x = 10x, which does not match the middle term 12x in the original polynomial. Eliminate answer 2.
Look at answer 1: 1x + 21x = 22x, which does not match the middle term of the original polynomial. Eliminate answer 1.
All quadratics have solutions. Let's apply the quadratic formula to 3x^2 + 12x + 7: Here a = 3, b = 12 and c = 7, so that the discriminant b²-4ac is
12²-4(3)(7), or 144 - 84, or 60. Being positive, this tells us that the given poly has two real, unequal roots:
-12 ± √60 -12 + 2√15 -12 - 2√15
x = ----------------- = ------------------- and x = --------------------
3 3 3
Normally, if c is a root, then x - c is a factor.
If we try this here, however, the resulting factors do not at all match any of your answer choices.
Don't be offended...but please ensure you have copied this problem down correctly.
The correct answer is 25.12 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(2x-9)(2x+9)
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a difference of squares because it can be written as (2x)^2-9^2
The formula for factoring a difference of squares is a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)
So replace a with 2x and b with 9 giving us
4x^2-81=(2x-9)(2x+9)
Answer: 7
Work: So, the goal is to get z alone, so we are going to add 85 on both sides, cancelling on the side it's currently on. So, the new equation is going to be 25z = 175. Then, to get z even more lonely, we are going to divide 25 on both sides, and again cancelling it on the side it's currently on. So, the answer is z = 7. I hope this helps, and Happy Holidays! :)
