Factor by grouping. Group up the terms into pairs, factor each pair, then factor out the overall GCF.
x^3 + 2x^2 - 16x - 32
(x^3 + 2x^2) + (-16x-32) ... pair up terms
x^2(x + 2) + (-16x - 32) ... factor x^2 from the first group
x^2(x + 2) - 16(x + 2) ... factor -16 from the second group
(x^2 - 16)(x + 2) .... factor out (x+2)
(x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 2) .... Use the difference of squares to factor x^2-16
---------------------------
The original expression completely factors to (x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 2)
The three factors are x - 4 and x + 4 and x + 2
Prove that the two circles below are similar
B is doubled in sizer then d
DECA=10, decagon = 10 sides.
since each side is 1.8 long, all 10 sides will be 10*1.8 or 18 units long, so that'd be the perimeter then,
Answer:
18/5
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>From my understanding, this is 1 whole 2 upon 10</em>
<u>Step 1: Convert mixed fraction into fraction</u>
<em>Multiply whole number by denominator: 1 x 10 = 10</em>
<em>Add numerator: 10 + 2 = 12</em>
<em>Write the result as the numerator and use the same denominator.</em>
12/10
<u>Step 2: Find the total tape used</u>
<em>From my understanding, each student used 12/10 of the tap</em>
<em>So 3 students used: 12/10 x 3 =</em> 18/5
Therefore, the total tape used for three students was 18/5.
