Answer: The Expression is Equivalent, However, NOT completely factored.
Step-by-step explanation:
3x^2 - 12
Following:
3 ( x^2 - 4 )
Factor:
3x^2 - 12
Factor Out Common Term 3:
3 ( x^2 - 4 ) = 3 (x^2 - 4 )
Factor:
x^2 - 4
( x + 2 ) ( x - 2 )
Answer:
3 ( x + 2) ( x - 2)
Hence, The Expression is Equivalent, However, Wasn't Completely Factored.
Hope that helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of coins in the bag = 5 + 4 + 5 + 2 = 16 coins
Number of nickels in the bag = 4
We have to find the probability that Marissa draws a nickels from the bag.
Probability is defined as the ratio of Number of "Favorable Outcomes" to "Total number of possible outcomes"
In this case total number of possible outcomes is the total number of coins which is 16.
Favorable/Desires outcome is drawing a Nickle from the bag which are 4 in number. So, number of favorable outcomes is 4
Therefore, the probability that she will draw a nickel =
(8 + [7+1] 2 ÷ 4 × 1) ÷ 2^4
Let's focus on what's in parentheses first.
8 + 8 × 2 ÷ 4 × 1
8 + 16 ÷ 4 × 1
8 + 4 × 1
8 + 4
12
Now, to what is outside the parentheses:
Because of the way it is written, you will do 12 ÷ 2 first.
12 ÷ 2^4
6^4
