Answer:

The answer: The factors are (2x-9) and (x+6).

The Problem:

Factor 2x^2+3x-54

Step-by-step explanation:

So I'm going to do trial factors using the choices to aid me.

Factored form for this problem if it exist will be in the form:

(mx+n)(kx+p).

In general this is what it would look like if we factored any quadratic in terms of x (given the quadratic is not prime but technically you could factor even over the complex numbers).

Let's look at:

(mx+n)(kx+p)

We want to choose k \text{ and } m such that when you multiply them you get 2.  Well those would have to be 2 and 1.

(2x+n)(x+p)

we want to choose n \text{ and } p such that when you multiply them you get -54. Based on the choices we want to get with -9 and 6, or 9 and -6. We don't know the order we want to choose it in either.

For example which of these would work:

(2x-6)(x+9)

(2x+6)(x-9)

(2x-9)(x+6)

(2x+9)(x-6)

We are going to consider only the outer and inner of FOIL since we already know the first times the first is 2x^2 and the last times the last is -54.

Let's test the first one:

(2x-6)(x+9)

Outer:  2x(9)=18x

Inner: -6(x)=-6x

------------------------ADD!

18x-6x=12x

The first choice did not give us the middle term 3x.

Trying the second one would give us the opposite since they are in the same form as previous just the + and - are switched.

Let's look at the third one:

(2x-9)(x+6)

Outer: 2x(6)=12x

Inner: -9(x)=-9x

--------------------------ADD!

12x-9x=3x

This is the winner.

The answer: The factors are (2x-9) and (x+6).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g = 3. evaluate 12 g⋅(9÷<br> g.
swat32
With g=3
Just replace every g with a 3.
So the equations becomes:
12g·(9÷g)=12(3)·(9÷(3))

This can also be written in the form:
\frac{12(3)9}{3}

Cancelling out the 3's:
12·9=108

Given: ABCD is a quadrilateral, Segment AB is congruent to Segment CD, &lt;1 is congruent to &lt;2 Prove: ABCD is a parallelogra
tiny-mole [99]

Since opposite angles and sides are equal, then the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.

Given that, ABCD is a quadrilateral, segment AB is congruent to segment CD, ∠1 is congruent to ∠2.

We need to prove that ABCD is a parallelogram.

<h3>How to prove a given quadrilateral is a parallelogram?</h3>

If one pair of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are both parallel and congruent, then it’s a parallelogram.

From the given quadrilateral ABCD:

AB=CD (Given)

∠1=∠2 (Given)

AC=AC (Diagonal)

From ASA congruency ΔABC and ΔADC are congruent.

By CPCT, AD=BC and ∠ABC=∠ADC.

Since opposite angles and sides are equal, then the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.

What is 6.23% of 100
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

6.23

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent means 'per 100'. So, 6.23% means 6.23 per 100 or simply 6.23/100. If you divide 6.23 by 100, you'll get 0.06230000000000001 (a decimal number).
