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.

Which equation represents a circle with a center at (-4,9) and a diameter of 10 units?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

(x+4)^2 + (y-9)^2 = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a circle, use the formula (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2 = r^2 where the center of the circle is (h, k).

This means the equation is (x--4)^2 + (y-9)^2 = r^2\\\(x+4)^2 + (y-9)^2 = r^2.

Find the radius r by dividing the diameter of 10 in 2. The radius is 5.

So the equation of the circle is (x+4)^2 + (y-9)^2 = 25

How do you do these questions?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

(e) csc x − cot x − ln(1 + cos x) + C

(c) 0

Step-by-step explanation:

(e) ∫ (1 + sin x) / (1 + cos x) dx

Split the integral.

∫ 1 / (1 + cos x) dx + ∫ sin x / (1 + cos x) dx

Multiply top and bottom of first integral by the conjugate, 1 − cos x.

∫ (1 − cos x) / (1 − cos²x) dx + ∫ sin x / (1 + cos x) dx

Pythagorean identity.

∫ (1 − cos x) / (sin²x) dx + ∫ sin x / (1 + cos x) dx

Divide.

∫ (csc²x − cot x csc x) dx + ∫ sin x / (1 + cos x) dx

Integrate.

csc x − cot x − ln(1 + cos x) + C

(c) ∫₋₇⁷ erf(x) dx

= ∫₋₇⁰ erf(x) dx + ∫₀⁷ erf(x) dx

The error function is odd (erf(-x) = -erf(x)), so:

= -∫₀⁷ erf(x) dx + ∫₀⁷ erf(x) dx

= 0

Answer:

1-c

2-b

3-a

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 7y=14

y=2

-7y=-14

y=2

so the equation has one solution

2. 0=0

so the equation has infinite solution

3. 0=2 false

so the equation has no solution
