Answer:

4(k - 3)(3k + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

12k² - 16k - 60 ← factor out 4 from each term

= 4(3k² - 4k - 15) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the k² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the k term

product = 3 × - 15 = - 45 , sum = - 4

Factors are - 9 and + 5

Use these factors to split the middle term

3k² - 9k + 5k - 15 → ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms

= 3k(k - 3) + 5(k - 3) ← factor out (k - 3)

= (k - 3)(3k + 5)

Hence

12k² - 16k - 60 = 4(k - 3)(3k + 5) ← in factored form

Hey there!

  • \bold{Factoring:} \bold{12k^2-16k-60}
  • \bold{Solving\downarrow}
  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:4(3k+5)(k−3)}}}

  • \bold{Check\downarrow}
  • \bold{4(3k+5)(k-3)}
  • \bold{4\times3k=12k}
  • \bold{4\times5=20}
  • \bold{4\timesk=4k}
  • \bold{4\times-3=-12}
  • Combine your like terms and that should lead us to the equation we have now
  • So, this makes our result true: \boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:4(3k+5)(k-3))}}} \checkmark

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day! |

A street that is 360 feet long is covered in snow city workers are using a snow plow to clear the street a tire on the snow plow
belka [17]

Answer:

Radius of tire=0.58 meter

Step-by-step explanation:

as we know that the

Circumference of the tire=2*3.14*r

and it needs to rotate 30 times to cover the street distance of 360 feet

So, the below equation would be used to find the radius of tire in the meters

360/3.28084=30*2*3.14*r

r=0.5824203822 meters

Hence

Radius=0.58 meter

Enter and solve a polynomial equation for the situation described.
klasskru [66]

Height = x (This is given)

Length = 5x

Width = 6x

Volume = length × width × height

The equation will be: (5x)(6x)(x) = 1920

simplify:

30x² × (x) = 1920

30x³ = 1920

Divide both sides by 30

x³= 64

x = ∛64

x= 4

If x = height, then, the height is 4cm

5x = length

20cm = length

6x = width

24cm = width
