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

The area, A, of a triangle is one-half the product of the triangle's base and height.
nordsb [41]

A = (1/2)(b * h)

It is 1/2 times the product (which is the end result of multiplication of two values), of base (b) times height (h)

The data below shows the points scored and minutes played by six basketball players during the 2004-2005 season. The least squar
k0ka [10]

We assume data and prediction as question is incomplete

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Least squares regression line equations are used to model the relationship that exists between two variables, dependent and independent variables. The equation has the form y=a+bx where y is the dependent variable and x is independent variable, a is a constant and is the y intercept and b is the slope of the line. This relationship is then used to predict future outcomes.

Given that data for 2004-2005 for the basketball players are :

James- 20 points

John- 30 points

Chris- 50 points

Dave-15 points

Donaldson- 32 points

Richard -40 points

We predict the scores/points for James (for example) for the following year using the equation of the regression line y=0.79x+1544

We substitute his points x=20 I'm the equation:

Y=0.79*20+1544

=1599.8

The predicted value is 1599.8

Jane is making a suit which requires 2 5⁄8 yards for the jacket and 1 3⁄4 yards for the skirt. What's the total amount of materi
Ann [662]
The answer is B. 4 3⁄8 yards. The amount of material needed for the jacket is: x = 2 5/8 yd = 2 + 5/8 = 16/8 + 5/8 = (16+5)/8 = 21/8 yd. The amount of material needed for the skirt is: y = 1 3/4 yd = 1 + 3/4 = 4/4 + 3/4 = (4+3)/4 = 7/4 yd. The total amount of material Jane needs is: x + y = 21/8 + 7/4 = 21/8 + 14/8 = (21+14)/8 = 35/8 = (32+3)/8 = 32/8 + 3/8 = 4 + 3/8 = 4 3/8 yd.
