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.

Arisa [49]
The bear can walk at a rate of 2 mph, which means after 4 hours it could have traveled 8 miles. That is our radius. To calculate the area of a circle, remember the formula
A = \pir^2

3.14 * 8^2 = A
3.14 * 64 = A
200.96 = A

An area of 200.96 square miles must be searched.
