X² + 16x + 48
x 12
x 4

find factors of x² and 48, that would add up to 16x

(x + 12)( x +4) is your answer, as using the FOIL method

FOIL (first, outside, inside, last)

x(x) = x²
x(4) = 4x
12(x) = 12x
12(4) = 48

x² + 4x + 12x + 48
simplify

x² + 16x + 48 (True)

you're answer is (x + 12)(x + 4)

hope this helps

I will do my best to explain this “ x method “ I use
Basically, two factors of the first and last number must multiply together to sum up to equal the middle number
1 X 12
1 4
(x+12) (x+4)
Hope this helps!

How do you solve this problem?

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

x=48

Step-by-step explanation:

x-3 15

------------ = ----------

6 2

We can use cross products to solve this problem

(x-3) *2 = 6*15

Distribute

2x-6 = 90

Add 6 to each side

2x-6+6 = 90+6

2x=96

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 96/2

x = 48

What is the solution of the equation e^xe^2x = 4? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Stells [14]

The equation is:

[e^x] [e^(2x)] = 4

1) Applying property of multiplication of powers wiith same base =>

e ^ (x + 2x) = 4

=> e ^ (3x) = 4

2) Applying logarigth properties

3x = ln(4)

=> x = ln(4) / 3 ≈ 1.38629 / 3 ≈ 0.4621

Answer: x = ln(4) / 3 ≈ 0.4621

Answer:

A. y = -2 - cos(x-π)

Explanation:

The general form of the trig equation is:

y = A sin (Bx + C) + D

where:

A is the amplitude

$\frac{2\pi}{B}$ is the period
