Answer:

3(2x^2-3x+14)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x^2-9x+42

All three terms have a common factor of 3

3(2x^2-3x+14)

Now let's focus on 2x^2-3x+14 and bring down the factor 3 later

so a=2

b=-3

c=14

Let's try to find two factors for ac that multiply to be a*c and add up to be b.

ac=28

b=-3

-----

ac=7(4)=14(2)=8(2)

Even if I made these pairs with both negatives nothing would give me -3

So you can only go as far as 3(2x^2-3x+14)

Here is another thing to help you if you have ax^2+bx+c and b^2-4ac<0 then it can't be factored (over reals)

The American Water Works Association reports that the per capita water use in a single-family home is 74 gallons per day. Legacy

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Reject H0 since test statistic <-2.492

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the American Water Works Association reports that the per capita water use in a single-family home is 74 gallons per day.

n = 25

x bar = 69

s= 8.3

std error = s/sqrt n = $\frac{8.3}{5} \\=1.66$

H0: $\bar x = 74$

Ha: $\bar x$

(Left tailed test at 5% significance level)

a) Reject H0 if t $\leq$ -2.492

b) Test statistic = mean difference/std error

= $\frac{69-74}{1.66} \\=-3.012\\$

=-3.01

df =24

c) Reject H0

Charlie's garage has a rectangular floor space. Its length is 3 times its width. Charlie extends the width of his garage to 6 m,

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The percentage change is 140%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$L= 3W_1$ ---- initial dimension

$W_2 = 6m$ --- new width

$A_2 = 45m^2$ --- new dimension

Required

The percentage increment

The length remains constant because only the width is extended.

The new area is:

$Area =Length * Width$

$A_2=L * W_2$

Make L the subject

$L = \frac{A_2}{ W_2}$

Substitute values for A and W

$L = \frac{45m^2}{6m}$

$L = \frac{45m}{6}$

$L = 7.5m$ --- this is the length of the garden

Calculate the initial width:

$L= 3W_1$

Make W1 the subject

$W_1 = \frac{1}{3} * L$

$W_1 = \frac{1}{3} * 7.5$

$W_1 = 2.5$

So, the initial area is:

$A_1 = L_1 * W_1$

$A_1 = 2.5 * 7.5$

$A_1 = 18.75$

The percentage change in area is:

$\%A = \frac{A_2 - A_1}{A_1}$

$\%A = \frac{45 - 18.75}{18.75}$

$\%A = \frac{26.25}{18.75}$

$\%A = 1.4$

Express as percentage

$\%A = 1.4*100\%$

$\%A = 140\%$
