Factorise 6x²-14x-12​

Mathematics
1 answer:
maksim [4K]3 years ago
8 0

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

Do consumers spend more on a trip to Store A or Store​ B? Suppose researchers interested in this question collected a systematic
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

We can be 95% confident that consumers spend between $4.04 and $15.96 less at Store A than the consumers spend at Store B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Intervals give an estimate as range of values for a statistic concerned at a <em>confidence level</em>.

In this case the statistic is the mean difference between Store A and Store B purchase amounts and the confidence level is 95%.

Confidence Interval can be calculated using M±ME where

  • M is the sample mean difference between Store A and Store B purchase amounts
  • ME is the margin of error from the mean
