Answer:

(x + 4)(2x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 2x² + 5x - 12

Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 2 × -12 = - 24 and sum = + 5

The factors are + 8 and - 3

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² + 8x - 3x - 12 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x + 4) - 3(x + 4) ← factor out (x + 4) from each term

(x + 4)(2x - 3)

Thus

f(x) = 2x² + 5x - 12 = (x + 4)(2x - 3) ← in factored form

What is a, the initial amount, for the function: f(x) = 300(1.16)*?
jeka94
<h3>Answer:   300</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

One general template of exponential functions is

f(x) = a*(b)^x

The 'a' is the initial amount, which in this case is a = 300

----------------------

Extra info:

The b is the base of the exponential, which is b = 1.16

The value of b is helpful to determine if you have exponential growth or decay, and how much of either. Because b = 1.16 is greater than 1, it indicates exponential growth. The rate of growth is found by solving 1+r = 1.16 to get r = 0.16, which leads to 16% growth.
