Answer:

2(8a + 3b)(2x - 3y)

Step-by-step explanation:

32ax + 12bx - 48ay - 18by =

The first step in factoring is to factor out a common factor.

32, 12, -48, and -18 have the greatest common factor of 2.

= 2(16ax + 6bx - 24ay - 9by)

To factor a 4-term polynomial, factor it by parts. We factor out a common factor out of the first two terms, and we factor out a common factor out of the last two terms.

= 2[2x(8a + 3b) - 3y(8a + 3b)]

Now we have a common factor of 8a + 3b, so we factor that out.

= 2[(8a + 3b)(2x - 3y)]

Remove the unnecessary brackets.

= 2(8a + 3b)(2x - 3y)

Now we check every factor to confirm that no more factoring is possible.

There are no more common factors, and there are no methods of factoring binomials that are applicable, so the factoring is complete.

Answer:

(16a + 6b) (2x - 3y)

Step-by-step explanation:

32ax + 12bx - 48ay - 18by

(32ax - 48ay) + (12bx - 18by)

16a(2x - 3y) + 6b(2x - 3y) Factor out in both seperate expressions

(16a + 6b) (2x - 3y) Double factoring

Which expression is equal to (6x−4)(3x−1)?

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

$(6x-4)(3x-1) = 18x^2 - 18x + 4$ is the required simplification.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is (6x−4)(3x−1).

By DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY of numbers:

A ( B + C ) = AB + AC

Simplifying the given expression, we get:

$(6x-4)(3x-1) = 6x(3x-1)-4(3x-1)\\= 6x(3x) -1(6x) -4(3x) +4\\=18x^2 - 6x - 12x + 4\\18x^2 - 18x + 4$

or, $(6x-4)(3x-1) = 18x^2 - 18x + 4$

Hence the given expression is simplified.

Graph y=-2x. give the domain and range. is the function dicrete or continou?

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Domain: (−∞,∞),{x|x∈R}

Range: (−∞,∞),{y|y∈R}

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the domain by finding where the function is defined. The range is the set of values that correspond with the domain.

Domain: (−∞,∞),{x|x∈R}

Range: (−∞,∞),{y|y∈R}

Not all visitors to a certain company's website are customers. In fact, the website administrator estimates that about 5% of all

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

0.0135 = 1.35% probability that, in a random sample of 4 visitors to the website, exactly 2 actually are looking for the website.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each visitor of the website, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are looking for the website, or they are not. The probability of a customer being looking for the website is independent of other customers. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
