Factor the following:
12 x^4 - 42 x^3 - 90 x^2
Factor 6 x^2 out of 12 x^4 - 42 x^3 - 90 x^2:
6 x^2 (2 x^2 - 7 x - 15)
Factor the quadratic 2 x^2 - 7 x - 15. The coefficient of x^2 is 2 and the constant term is -15. The product of 2 and -15 is -30. The factors of -30 which sum to -7 are 3 and -10. So 2 x^2 - 7 x - 15 = 2 x^2 - 10 x + 3 x - 15 = x (2 x + 3) - 5 (2 x + 3):
6 x^2 x (2 x + 3) - 5 (2 x + 3)
Factor 2 x + 3 from x (2 x + 3) - 5 (2 x + 3):
Answer: 6 x^2 (2 x + 3) (x - 5)
X=6y
sum of their reciprocals
(1/x)+(1/y)=7
x=6y
1/6y+1/y=7
1/6y+6/6y=7
7/6y=7
times both sides by 6y
7=42y
divide both sides by 42
1/6=y
x=6y
x=6(1/6)
x=6/6
x=1
the numbers are 1 and 1/6
28+24=52
So we make a sum of what's going to equal 52 in small packets.
I found 4x13=52. 13 would be the number of packets......
BUT!! Since it MUST be equal dark and milk and we have 28 and 26,
you would have to eliminate 1 pack because all 4 would be milk chocolate.
So that is only 12 packets.
4 per pack so that would be 2 dark and 2 milk per packet.
Answer:
its Aor the first option because it has repeated x values making it not a function.
