Factorise 6x²-14x-12​

Mathematics
1 answer:
maksim [4K]3 years ago

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6x² - 14x - 12 ← factor out 2 from each term

= 2(3x² - 7x - 6) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 3 × - 6 = - 18 and sum = - 7

The factors are - 9 and + 2

Use these factors to split the x- term

3x² - 9x + 2x - 6 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 3x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3) ← factor out (x - 3) from each term

= (x - 3)(3x + 2)

Thus

3x² - 7x - 6 = (x - 3)(3x + 2) and

6x² - 14x - 12 = 2(x - 3)(3x + 2) ← in factored form

Answer:

3.6666 (I didn't round)

Repeating decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

2/3

is the same as

2÷3

Therefore:

3 2/3 = 3+(2÷3) = 3 + 0.6666 =3.6666

A repeating decimal is one that keeps going and repeats a pattern. This is decimal keeps going and repeats a pattern so it is a repeating decimal.

A terminating decimal is one that terminates or ends. This decimal does not terminate or end. It keeps going.

Hope this helped.

What is 2 2/5×2 7/9 in simplest mixed number form?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

6 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/5 * 2 7/9

Change each number to an improper fraction

2 2/5 = (5*2+2)/5 = 12/5

2 7/9 = (9*2+7) = 25/9

12/5 * 25/9

Rewriting

25/5  * 12/9

5/1 * 4/3

20/3

Now changing to a mixed number

3 goes into 20 6 times with 2 left over

6 2/3
