<span>3x^2y^2 − 2xy^2 − 8y^2 =
y^2 (3x^2 - 2x - 8) =

factoring with leading coefficient:

for ax2+bx+c find two numbers n,m, that m*n = a*c and m+n = b
</span><span><span>
3x^2 - 2x - 8
a=3, b=-2, c=-8
</span>a*c = 3*(-8) = -24
-24=(-6)*4 and -6+4=-2, so m=-6 and n=4

replace bx with mx + nx and factor by grouping
</span><span>
3x^2 - 2x - 8 = </span>3x^2 -6x + 4x -8 = 3x(x-2) + 4(x-2) = (3x+4)(x-2)

answer:
<span>3x^2y^2 − 2xy^2 − 8y^2 = y^2(3x+4)(x-2)</span>

IM NOT UNDERSTAND THIS EQUATION CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME
aleksley [76]

Answer:

  • x = 0, mult: 3
  • x = -4, mult: 2
  • x = -5, mult: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

When a polynomial is shown in factored form, its zeros are the values of x that make the factors zero.

  The factor x is zero when x=0.

  The factor (x+4) is zero when x=-4.

  The factor (x+5) is zero when x=-5.

__

The multiplicity of a zero is the number of times a given factor is a factor of the polynomial. It is the exponent of the factor.

 x = 0 has multiplicity 3.

  x = -4 has multiplicity 2.

  x = -5 has multiplicity 2.

Peter needs to build a fence around his small garden. The length of the fence can be no more than 10 ft., and he has 50 ft. of f
dsp73

Answer:

A backyard farmer wants to enclose a rectangular space for a new garden. She has purchased 80 feet of wire fencing to enclose 3 sides, and will put the 4th side against the backyard fence. Find a formula for the area enclosed by the fence if the sides of fencing perpendicular to the existing fence have length

L.

In a scenario like this involving geometry, it is often helpful to draw a picture. It might also be helpful to introduce a temporary variable,

W, to represent the side of fencing parallel to the 4th side or backyard fence.

Since we know we only have 80 feet of fence available, we know that

L + W + L = 80, or more simply, 2L + W = 80. This allows us to represent the width, W, in terms of L: W = 80 – 2L

Now we are ready to write an equation for the area the fence encloses. We know the area of a rectangle is length multiplied by width, so

A = LW = L(80 – 2L)

A(L) = 80L – 2L2

This formula represents the area of the fence in terms of the variable length

L.
