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.

I need with the volume!!!
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Tim read 81 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

If he read 3 pages on Monday and tripled the amount of pages he red based of off the amount of pages he read the previous day, he would have read 3 pages on Monday, 9 pages on Tuesday, 27 pages on Wednesday, and 81 pages on Thursday.

Monday: 3

Tuesday: 3 x 3 = 9

Wednesday: 9 x 3 = 27

Thursday: 27 x 3 = 81

I hope this helps you! :D

Which expression represents the product of s and 39?<br>A=39-s<br>B=39÷s<br>C=39s<br>D=39+s​
Degger [83]
The answer would be c because it means Multiply and whenever a variable is next to a number in this case 39s then that means it a multiplication
So C. 39s
