Answer:

B. 6 is also a factor of this trinomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a trinomial 6x^2-18x+12. A student gives the answer (x-2)(x-1).

To figure out student's mistake, let us factor our given trinomial by splitting the middle term.  

6x^2-18x+12    

6x^2-12x-6x+12    

6x(x-2)-6(x-2)    

(6x-6)(x-2)    

6(x-1)(x-2)  

Therefore, 6 is also a factor of our given trinomial and option B is the correct choice.

The price p (in dollars) and the demand X for a particular clock radio are related by the equation X = 3000 -10p. Find and answe
alukav5142 [94]

The price p based on the equation given is p = 3000 - 0.1x.

<h3>How to express the price?</h3>

The equation given in the question is x = 3000 - 10p. The price(p) will be:

x = 3000 - 10p.

Make p the subject of the formula

x + 10p = 3000

10p = 3000 - x

p = (3000 - x)/10

p = 3000 - 0.1x

The revenue will be price multiplied by quantity. This will be:

= (3000 - 0.1x) × x

= 3000x - 0.1x²

The marginal revenue will be calculated after differentiating. This will be:

= 3000x - 0.1x²

= 3000 - 0.2x

The demand which is the quantity based on the information will be:

3000 - 0.2x = 0

0.2x = 3000

x = 1500

If △ABC is an isosceles triangle where AB¯≅AC¯, m∠A=(2x−20)°, and m∠B=(3x+5)°, then m∠C=__________°.
KengaRu [80]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Because ΔABC is isosceles and AB = AC, therefore
m∠C = m∠B = (3x + 5)°

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, therefore
2(3x + 5) + 2x - 20 = 180
6x + 10 + 2x - 20 = 180
8x - 10 = 180
8x = 190
x = 23.75°

Therefore
m∠C = 3x + 5 = 3(23.75) + 5 = 76.25°

Answer: 76.25°
