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.

Y = 4x – 10 y = 2 what is the solution to the system of equations? (3, 2) (2, 3) (–2, 2) (2, –2)
Scilla [17]
Y = 2

y = 4x - 10
2 = 4x - 10
2 + 10 = 4x
12 = 4x
12/4 = x
3 = x

solution is : (3,2)

Express the following quantities as ordinary decimal numbers: (step by step please)
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

a. 0.0000009 m

b. 6,130, 000, 000

c. 100,000 light years

d. 0.00001 mm

e. 0.0000010 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to come from the standard form to the decimal form

In doing this, we consider the power of 10 attached

If negative, we count leftwards, if positive, we count right-wards

The number of times we count is the power of 10 attached. The count means we are moving the decimal point

For numbers with out visible decimal point, it is at the back of the most right-ward number

Thus, we have these as;

a. 9 * 10^-7

= 0.0000009 m

b. 6.130 * 10^9

= 6,130, 000, 000

c. 1 * 10^5

= 100,000 light years

d. 1 * 10^-5 mm

= 0.00001 mm

e. 10^-7

= 0.0000010 kg

She should contact a bank that is willing to help someone like her; she probably has a low enough credit score to be rejected by most. She should also seek financial help from a family member.
