Factor by grouping. Group up the terms into pairs, factor each pair, then factor out the overall GCF.
x^3 + 2x^2 - 16x - 32
(x^3 + 2x^2) + (-16x-32) ... pair up terms
x^2(x + 2) + (-16x - 32) ... factor x^2 from the first group
x^2(x + 2) - 16(x + 2) ... factor -16 from the second group
(x^2 - 16)(x + 2) .... factor out (x+2)
(x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 2) .... Use the difference of squares to factor x^2-16
---------------------------
The original expression completely factors to (x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 2)
The three factors are x - 4 and x + 4 and x + 2
v + m = 32 and v = 5 + 2m are the equations that are used to determine m, the number of stuffed animals Mariposa has
Number of stuffed animals Mariposa has is 9 and number of stuffed animals with Veronica is 23
<h3>
<u>Solution:</u></h3>
Let "v" be the number of stuffed animals with Veronica
Let "m" be the number of stuffed animals with Mariposa
Given that,
Together, they have 32 stuffed animals
Therefore,
v + m = 32 --------- eqn 1
Veronica has 5 more than double the number of stutted animals as her friend Mariposa
Therefore,
Number of stuffed animals with Veronica = 5 + 2(number of stuffed animals with Mariposa)
v = 5 + 2m ---------- eqn 2
Thus eqn 1 and eqn 2 can be used to determine m, the number of stuffed animals Mariposa has
Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2
Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1
5 + 2m + m = 32
5 + 3m = 32
3m = 32 - 5
3m = 27
<h3>m = 9</h3>
Substitute m = 9 in eqn 2
v = 5 + 2(9)
v = 5 + 18
<h3>v = 23</h3>
Thus number of stuffed animals Mariposa has is 9 and number of stuffed animals with Veronica is 23
Answer:
The circumference of Dan's circle is approximately 50.27 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the circumference (
), measured in inches, is determined by the formula:
(1)
Where 
is the radius, measured in inches.
If we know that 
, then the length of the circumference is:
The circumference of Dan's circle is approximately 50.27 inches.
Answer: (u^2+1) * (u-2) * (u+2)
The answer should be 50.24 m
