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)....

5. While bird watching, Gabrielle saw 6 robins and 3 blue jays.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Neither. They both saw the same amount of birds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gabrielle saw 9 birds, but so did Chase. 6+3 is 9. 3+6 is also 9. The commutative property of addition states that a+b=b+a.

What is the median of 0.8, 1.0, 2.7, 2.8, 3.1, 13.3

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

$2.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Determine the median</u>

$0.8, 1.0, 2.7, 2.8, 3.1, 13.3$

The median of a set is the middle of the set. In this instance, we have 6 numbers so we don't have a number directly in the set representing the median. Instead, we need to find the average or middle between the 3rd and 4th number. So we take 2.7 and 2.8, add them together to get 5.5 and then we divide by 2 to get 2.75 which is our median.

Answer: $2.75$

You are creating a decorative rope that is at least 20 feet long. You do not have enough 6 inch beads to make the rope, so you w

Inessa05 [86]

You can use at most 24 beads that are 10 inches long to decorate the rope.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length of rope = 120 feet

1 foot = 12 inches

20 foot = 20*12 = 240 inches

Length of bead = 10 inches

Let,

x represents the number of beads used on rope.

As the rope is 240 inches long, therefore, the total length of beads cannot exceed 240 inches.

Length of each bead*Number of beads ≤ length of rope

$10*x\leq 240\\10x\leq 240$

Dividing both sides by 10

$\frac{10x}{10}\leq \frac{240}{10}\\x\leq 24$

You can use at most 24 beads that are 10 inches long to decorate the rope.
