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! |

Determine the common difference between successive terms in the sequence.
Ymorist [56]
This is an arithmetic sequence....to find the common difference, subtract the first term from the second term
0.26 - 0.36 = - 0.10.....so the common difference is -0.10. That means u add -0.10 to each term to get the next term.

What is the common ratio and explicit formula for -2,6,-18,54?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The explicit formula for a given geometric sequence is of the form

a_{4} =\frac{1}{(a_{1})^4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is {\{-2,6,-18,54}\}

Let a_{1}=-2,a_{2}=6,a_{3}=-18,a_{4}=54

To find the common ratio r:

r=\frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}

=\frac{6}{-2}

=-3

Therefore r=-3

r=\frac{a_{3}}{a_{2}}

=\frac{-18}{6}

=-3

Therefore r=-3

Therefore common ratio is -3

Therefore given sequence is geometric sequence.

The explicit formula for a geometric sequence is a_{n}=a_{1}^{r-1}, where common ratio is r.

From given sequence we are having  r=-3

Therefore the explicit formula for a given geometric sequence is of the form a_{4} =a_{1}^{-3-1}

a_{4} =a_{1}^{-4}

a_{4} =\frac{1}{(a_{1})^4}
