Answer:
4(2e - 3)(3e + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
24e² - 28e - 12 ← factor out 4 from each term
= 4(6e² - 7e - 3) ← factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the product of the e² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the e- term.
product = 6 × - 3 = - 18 and sum = - 7
The factors are - 9 and + 2
Use these factors to split the e- term
6e² - 9e + 2e - 3 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 3e(2e - 3) + 1 (2e - 3) ← factor out (2e - 3) from each term
= (2e - 3)(3e + 1)
Then
24e² - 28e - 12 = 4(2e - 3)(3e + 1) ← in factored form
1. Eyeballing the data, the best fit will be pretty close to a line between the leftmost point and the rightmost point.
We estimate those points as (4,220) and (28,470)
The point point form for a line joining (a,b) and (c,d) is
(c-a)(y-b) = (d-b)(x-a)
(28 - 4)(y - 220) = (470 - 220)(x - 4)
24(y - 220) = 250(x-4)
24y - 5280 = 250x - 1000
24y = 250 x + 4280
y = (250/24) x+ (4280/24)
Approximately that's,
y = 10.4 x + 178
Answer: 4th choice, 10.4x + 180
2. For 48 wheelbarrows,
y = 10.4(48)+180 = 679.2
Answer: 679.2 liters of sand
9.725 would be the answer
The answer to your question is 4x^2+11x-20
