Answer:

3x(x - 4)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x³ - 6x² - 24x ← factor out common factor of 3x from each term

= 3x(x² - 2x - 8) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 8) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

The factors are - 4 and + 2, since

- 4 × 2 = - 8 and - 4 + 2 = - 2, thus

x² - 2x - 8 = (x - 4)(x + 2) and

3x³ - 6x² - 24x = 3x(x - 4)(x + 2)

When you have the number 81 as your median and you have to find the missing number out of the following 82,87,77,70,80,88

Natali5045456 [20]

Uh, so, you're median is 81 already.

Since the middle two numbers are 82 and 80, you have to add them together and then divide by 2.

However, if you're trying to add a number in, adding 81 as it is would work as well.

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine which statement is NOT a step used when constructing an inscribed hexagon?

1. Swing two arcs above and below the radius. False

2. Draw a radius of the circle using a straightedge. True

3. Place the compass on the point where the circle and radius intersect. True

4. Swing an arc the length of the radius from the point on the circle. True

The first choice is the correct answer.

Given: ABCD is a trapezoid, AC ⊥ CD AB = CD, AC=the square root of 75 , AB = 5 Find: AABCD

Ugo [173]

In this attached picture according to the conditions of the problem we have an isosceles trapezoid and since we know that legs are equal (AD=BC=5 cm), we have to calculate bases and height in order to find the area. Working with the triangle BCD, we apply Pythagoras theorem and find that CD = $\sqrt{75+25}$ = 10 cm. Since BDC is a right triangle, applying theorem for the area of triangles, we find that $\frac{1}{2} * BF = \frac{1}{2} * 5 * \sqrt{75}$ and BF= $0.5\sqrt{75}$ . Since ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid, triangles ADE and BFC are congruent with Angle Side Angle theorem. Then, DE=FC and with the help of Pythagoras theorem, DE=FC=2.5 cm. Then, AB=EF=5 cm and the area of the trapezoid is $A= BF * \frac{AB+CD}{2} = 0.5 \sqrt{75} * \frac{5+10}{2} = 18.75 \sqrt{3} cm^{2}$
