Answer:

3(x + 2)(2x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6x² - 3x - 30 ← factor out 3 from each term

= 3(2x² - x - 10) ← 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 = 2 × - 10 = - 20 and sum = - 1

The factors are + 4 and - 5

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² + 4x - 5x - 10 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 2x(x + 2) - 5(x + 2) ← factor out (x + 2) from each term

= (x + 2)(2x - 5), thus

2x² - x - 10 = (x + 2)(2x - 5) and

6x² - 3x - 30

= 3(x + 2)(2x - 5) ← in factored form

The 3 × 3 matrix P satisfies the matrix equation P^2 = P.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: The answers are given below.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a 3 × 3 matrix P satisfies the matrix equation P² = P.

We are to

(a) find the possibilities for the determinant of P.

(b) explain the reason behind there are no other possibilities.

(c) give an example of P, for each possible determinant.

(a) According to the given information, we have

$P^2=P\\\\\Rightarrow P^2-P=0\\\\\Rightarrow P(P-I)=0\\\\\Rightarrow P=0,~~~P=I.$

So, P can be either a zero matrix of order 3 or an identity matrix of order 3.

If P = 0, then det(P) = 0 and if P = I, then det(P) = 1.

Therefore the possible determinants of P are 0 and 1.

(b) There can be any other determinant other than 0 and 1, because if so, then the given equation P² = P will not be satisfied.

(c) If |P| = 0, then the matrix P can be can be of the form as follows:

$P=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&0&0\\0&0&0\\0&0&0\end{array}\right] .$

If |P| = 1, the the matrix P can be of the form as follows :

$P=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{array}\right] .$

Thus, all the parts are answered.

The speed of an object can be found by taking the distance it travels and dividing it by the time it takes to travel that distan

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

<h2>True the speed S in in Feet/second</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we are required to solve for the speed of an object.

given that the expression to solve for the speed is expressed as

speed= distance/time

given data

distance=100 feet

time=2.5 seconds

substituting our given data into the expression we can solve for speed as

speed (S)=100/2.5

S= 40feet/seconds

upon substituting our data the speed S was found to be 40feet/s

True the speed S in in Feet/second
