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

Find the error american car produce 5,650,000 cars each year.In a report,ben wrote that americans made 6,550,000 cars.What mista
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The error Ben made was writing down 6,550,000 cars rather than 5,650,000 cars in the report.

He can fix it by correcting the wrong numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

American car produce 5,650,000 cars each year.

When writing a report Ben wrote down that americans produce 6,550,000 cars every year

Therefore the error Ben made in the report was that he mixed the numbers, he ought to have written 5 and 6 as the initial two numbers but rather he wrote the first number as 6 and the second number as 5.

Ben can fix his mistake by correcting the numbers and writing down the correct initial two numbers which are 6 and 5.

Hence, doing this will give him the correct number of cars which is 5,650,000 cars.

If your scale factor is 3/4, how will the scaled copy compare to the original?
Kisachek [45]
A scaled copy with the scale factor being 3/4 it would be smaller because it’s less than one so whenever there is a fraction that’s less than one then the shape would be smaller aswell
