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.

A bank account earns 2.5% interest per year. If the account starts with $500, approximately how many years will it take for the
belka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have an amount in the future of 750, we are going to use Future value formula; FV = PV (1+r)^t

where PV= Initial amount deposited

r= interest rate or discount rate

t = total duration of the investment

FV= 750

PV=500

r = 2.5% or 0.025 as a decimal

t = ?

Next, plug in the numbers into the formula;

750 = 500* (1+0.025)^t

divide both sides by 500;

750/500 = 1.025^t

Introduce <em>ln</em> on both sides

ln 1.5 = ln 1.025^{t}

ln 1.5 = t ln 1.025

0.4054651 = 0.0246926 t

Divide both sides by 0.0246926 to solve for t;

0.4054651/0.0246926 = t

t = 16.42

Therefore it will take 16.42 years
