Answer: 4x^2*(3x^3 - 1 + 4x)

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

Work Shown:

The GCF of the coefficients 12,-4,16 is 4
The GCF of the variable terms is x^2 since this is the smallest variable term that is found in each of x^5, x^2 and x^3
Overall, the GCF is 4x^2. 

Factor each term in terms of the GCF
12x^5 = (12)*(x^5)
12x^5 = (4*3)*(x^3*x^2)
12x^5 = (4x^2)*(3x^3) <--- call this equation (1)
-------------
4x^2 = (4x^2)*(1) <--- call this equation (2)
-------------
16x^3 = (4*4)*(x^2*x)
16x^3 = (4x^2)*(4x) <--- call this equation (3)
-------------
Using those individual factorizations, we can apply the distributive property to factor out the GCF

12x^5 - 4x^2 + 16x^3
(4x^2)*(3x^3) - 4x^2 + 16x^3 ... substitute equation (1)
(4x^2)*(3x^3) - (4x^2)*(1) + 16x^3 ... substitute equation (2)
(4x^2)*(3x^3) - (4x^2)*(1) + (4x^2)*(4x) ... substitute equation (3)
4x^2*(3x^3 - 1 + 4x) ... use the distributive property

Therefore, 12x^5 - 4x^2 + 16x^3 factors to 4x^2*(3x^3 - 1 + 4x)

This means, 12x^5 - 4x^2 + 16x^3 = 4x^2*(3x^3 - 1 + 4x) is a true equation for all real numbers x.

Speed = slope of the line = 20 / 0.5 = 40 km / hr

Second part will be a line with downward slope from the end of the horizontal line Slop = 20 / 1/3 (=60 km/h) So it will pass through the 65 on horizontal axis.

A soup kitchen makes 15 gallons of soup each day a quarter of the soup is served and the rest is saved for the next day , what i
Sophie [7]

Number of ounces left is 1120

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find number of ounces left after each day.

Given total soup prepared each day = 15 gallons

Amount served each day = 1/4 of 15 = 15/4 gallons

Amount left after each day = 15 - 15/4 = 60 - 15/4 = 35/4 gallons

  • Step 2: Convert gallons into ounces. 1 gallon = 128 ounces

35/4 gallons = 35/4 × 128 = 1120 ounces
