8x - 6 - 12x^2 + 9x

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

=> (2-3x)(3x-3)

=> 3(x-1)(2-3x)

Order from highest power to lowest
-12x^2+9x+8x-6
group
(-12x^2+9x)+(8x-6)
factor
(-3x)(4x-3)+(2)(4x-3)
undistribute
(-3x+2)(4x-3)

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

Mr. Anderson drove 168 miles in 3 1/2 hours. He then drove the next 2 1/4 hours at a rate of 5 miles per hour faster than the fi

BlackZzzverrR [31]

First we need to know how many miles per hour they drove the first time. This would be found by division. 168/3.5=48
Then we need to add 5 miles per hour for the average.48+5= 53
Next we need to multiply 2 1/4 by the new miles per hour 53*2.25=119.25
After that we need to know how many miles they drove 119.25+168=287.25 miles.
Finally to get an improper fraction we need to change 287.25 miles to it.
We already have 1/4 for .25 so we multiply 287 by 4 and add it to the 1/4 we already have and it makes it out to be 1149/4

Hope this helps!

The graph of the function showing the path of a soccer ball thrown by a goalie in a video game, f(x) = –0.05x2 + 2.5x + 5.2, is

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x)=-0.05x^2+2.5x+5.2$

Where f(x) is height of the ball and x is the distance.

It is a polynomial function with degree 2. All polynomial functions are defined for all real numbers, therefore the mathematical domain of the function is all real numbers.

$-\infty$

Factorize the given function.

$f(x)=-0.05(x^2-50x-104)$

$f(x)=-0.05(x^2-52x+2x-104)$

$f(x)=-0.05(x(x-52)+2(x-52))$

$f(x) = -0.05 (x - 52) (x + 2)$

Put f(x)=0 to find the x intercepts.

$0 = -0.05 (x - 52) (x + 2)$

Equate each factor equal to 0.

$x=52,-2$

Therefore at x=52 and -2, the graph of f(x) intersects x-axis. Before x=-2 and after x=52 the values of f(x) is negative. Height cannot be negative, therefore reasonable domain is lie between -2 to 52.

Distance cannot be negative, therefore the reasonable domain must be positive.

$0\leq x\leq 52$

Therefore the reasonable domain is $0\leq x\leq 52$ and option 4 is correct.

2x+6 = 20
take 6 from both sides
2x = 14
divide by 2 on both sides
