Answer:

(2b - 3)(2b + 3)(b - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

4b³ - 9b - 12b² + 27

b(4b² - 9) - 3(4b² - 9)

(4b² - 9)(b - 3)

(2b - 3)(2b + 3)(b - 3)

Answer:

(4b^{2}-9)(b-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to factor this expression you need to factor by grouping.

First focus on factoring the first two terms them factor the last two terms

1. Lets focus on the first 2 terms:

4b^{3} -12b^{2} (You can factor out 4b^{2})

4b^{2} (b-3) (this is what you're left with

2. Lets focus on the last 2 terms:

-9b+27 (You can factor our a -9)

-9(b-3) (this is what you're left with

3. Now lets put both of the factored parts together:

4b^{2} (b-3)-9(b-3) (Since both equations have the factor (b-3) in common that is one of our answers) (pull out that factor)

(b-3)

Now whatever is left create the second factor:

(4b^{2} -9)

So, (4b^{2} -9)(b-3) are the factors that make this expression.

You can double check that these are the right factors by using the FOIL method.

If you use the FOIL method it forms the original expression 4b^{3} -12b^{2} -9b+27

so we know for sure these are the right factors.

I will upload an image of how to use the FOIL method.

FOIL stand for Front, Outer, Inner, Last

They will rest after they hike `2` miles. Then they will hike the remaining `1.75` miles to the lookout. The trail the hikers wi
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

1.75 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate how far the hike is going up the trail. They first hike 2 miles and then another 1.75 miles after resting so...

2 + 1.75 = 3.75 miles

The trail is 3.75 miles long, the question states that the return path is 0.5 miles shorter, therefore...

3.75 - 0.5 = 3.25 miles

Leaving us with a total hiking distance of

3.75 + 3.25 = 7 miles.

Since each hiker will carry 0.25 gallons for each mile we simply need to multiply this amount by the total number of miles in the hike.

7 * 0.25 = 1.75 gallons

Finally, we can see that each hiker will carry a total of 1.75 gallons of water for the entire hike.

dalvyx [7]

Given :

Median salary of engineer , E = $55,000 .

Median salary of computer engineer , C = $52,000 .

To Find :

The total cost for a business to employ two engineers and three programmers for 1 year .

Solution :

Now , cost of paying two engineers .

C_e=\$2\times 55000\\\\C_e=\$110000

Also , cost of paying three programmers .

C_p=3\times 52000\\\\C_p=\$156000

Therefore , total cost for 1 year is \$(110000+156000)=\$266000 .

Hence , this is the required solution .
