Answer:

(2x + 1)(3x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6x² + 5x + 1

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 = 6 × 1 = 6 and sum = + 5

The factors are + 3 and + 2

Use these factors to split the x0 term

6x² + 3x + 2x + 1 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 3x(2x + 1) + 1 (2x + 1) ← factor out (2x + 1) from each term

= (2x + 1)(3x + 1) ← in factored form

Answer:

The factors are (3x+1)(2x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression is:

6x^2 + 5x + 1

We have to break the middle term to find its factors. For this first we have to multiply the coefficient of 1st terms with the constant term:

6*1 = 6

Now we have to find any two numbers whose product is 6 and whose sum is the middle term:

3*2=6

3+2=5

Now break the middle term by these two numbers.

6x^2 + 5x + 1

6x^2+3x+2x+1

Group the first two terms and last two terms:

(6x^2+3x)+(2x+1)

Now take out common factor from each term:

3x(2x+1)+1(2x+1)

(3x+1)(2x+1)

Therefore the factors are (3x+1)(2x+1)....

Number 1 wants you to set up proportions so four numbers equal to 2/1 would be: 6/3 8/4 10/5 12/6, and so on. I'm not sure what they're asking when they say the sum of the first two numbers is equal to 4.8

maw [93]
If the average rates were 20 and 25 miles per hour, then together they cover 45 miles of the distance they are separated by per hour.  The ships will be 30 miles apart when 270 miles have been covered, so it takes 270/45=6 hours to cover the distance.  6 hours after 5 PM is 11:00 PM.
