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 game consists of randomly choosing a bag (labelled 1, 2 or 3) out of a choice of 100, and then again randomly, picking a ball
Anton [14]

Answer:

hello your question has some missing information attached below is the missing information

answer :  112 black balls

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Each bag contains ; 10 balls

Total number of ball = 100 balls

<u>first: calculate the number of Black balls to be picked from the three bags</u>

From bag 1 = 0.4 * 0.35 * 10 = 1.4 balls

From bag 2 =  0.8 * 0.45 * 10 = 3.6 balls

From bag 3 = 0.3 * 0.2 * 10 = 0.6 ball

Total black balls picked = 5.6

∴ percentage of black balls picked given that each bag contains 10

5.6 / 10 * Total balls available  =  56 balls = 56% of 100 balls

Hence If the player plays this game 200 times the number of black balls he will pick = 56% * 200 =  112 balls
