Factor completely: 48x^4y^2+243y^2

Mathematics

In order to factor this completely, we need to remove all common items.

The first thing to do is to recognize that y^2 is part of both addends, and can be removed.  This gives us:
y^2(48x^4 + 243)

Now x is only in one addend, so that can't be factored out.  The only thing left is to see if the numbers can be simplified.  We can look immediately and see that 243 is not divisible by 2, so simplifying by taking out 2 is not an option.  However, we might be able to divide by a different number.  

If you can add up the numbers of a number and get a number divisible by three, then your number is divisible by three.
For example:
2+4+3=9, which is divisible by three.  That means that 243 is also divisible by three.
4+8=12, which is divisible by three.  That means 48 is also divisible by three.

We have just found out that both 48 and 243 can be divided by three, so 3 can be factored out.
This gives us:
3y^2(16x^4+81)

Please don't just take the answer I've given you and move on.  Please try to read and understand my explanation, because while it is easy to cheat on homework, you can't cheat on quizzes and tests, so you need to try to understand the process.  If anything that I wrote was confusing, just leave a comment and I will explain it as soon as I can.  :)

How to solve for the shaded region
k0ka [10]
The shaded region is a triangle. Triangle area can be determined with formula
a = 1/2 × b × h

From the question, we know that the triangle consists of
base = 10 - 6 = 4 m
and the height is the dimension which is perpendicular to the base,
height = 6 m

Find the triangle area
a = 1/2 × b × h
a = 1/2 × 4 × 6
a = 1/2 × 24
a = 12

The area of the shaded region is 12 m²

F(x)=2x^2-x-10 part a: what are the X intercepts of the graph of f(x)? Show your work
Genrish500 [490]
A. x intercepts are where the graph hits the x axis or where f(x)=0
0=2x^2-x-10
solve
hmm
we can use the ac method
multiply 2 and -10 to get -20
what 2 numbers muliply to get -20 and add to get -1 (the coefint of the x term)
-5 and 4
split the midd into that
0=2x^2+4x-5x-10
group
0=(2x^2+4x)+(-5x-10)
factor
0=2x(x+2)-5(x+2)
undistribute
0=(x+2)(2x-5)
set each to 0
0=x+2
0=-2

0=2x-5
5=2x
5/2=x

x intercepts are at x=-2 and 5/2 or the points (-2,0) and (5/2,0)


B. ok, so for f(x)=ax^2+bx+c
if a>0, then the parabola opens up and the vertex is a minimum
if a<0 then the parabola opens down and the vertex is a max

f(x)=2x^2-x-10
2>0
opoens up
vertex is minimum

ok, the vertex

the x value of  the vertex in f(x)=ax^2+bx+c= is -b/(2a)
the y value of the vertex is f(-b/(2a)) so
given
f(x)=2x^2-x-10
a=2
b=-1
-b/2a=-(-1)/(2*2)=1/4
f(1/4)=2(1/4)^2-(1/4)-10
f(1/4)=2(1/16)-1/4-10
f(1/4)=1/8-1/4-10
f(1/4)=1/8-2/8-80/8
f(1/4)=-81/8
so the vertex is (1/4,-81/8) or (0.25,-10.125)


C. graph the x intercepts and the vertex
the vertex is min and the graph goes through the x intercepts
