Answer:
4(k - 3)(3k + 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
12k² - 16k - 60 ← factor out 4 from each term
= 4(3k² - 4k - 15) ← factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the k² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the k term
product = 3 × - 15 = - 45 , sum = - 4
Factors are - 9 and + 5
Use these factors to split the middle term
3k² - 9k + 5k - 15 → ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms
= 3k(k - 3) + 5(k - 3) ← factor out (k - 3)
= (k - 3)(3k + 5)
Hence
12k² - 16k - 60 = 4(k - 3)(3k + 5) ← in factored form
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
The first figure has 1 square. The second figure has a column of 2 squares added to the left. The third figure has a column of 3 squares added to the left. Each new figure has a column of squares added to the left containing the same number of squares as the number of the figure.
b.
Figure 10 has 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55 squares.
c.
The formula for adding n positive integers starting at 1 is:
1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n = n(n + 1)/2
For figure 55, n = 55.
n(n + 1)/2 = 55(56)/2 = 1540
d.
Let's use the formula set equal to 190 and solve for n. If n is an integer, then we can.
n(n + 1)/2 = 190
n(n + 1) = 380
We know that 380 = 19 * 20, so n = 19.
Answer: yes
e.
Use the formula above,
S = n(n + 1)/2, where S is the sum.
f.
n(n + 1) = 1478
38 * 39 = 1482
37 * 38 = 1406
Plan B. to me is he obvious answer.
A fraction x/y is a ratio between two numbers x and y.
The ratio is preserved if both x and y are scaled up or down by the same number n.
This means you can obtain any fraction equivalent to x/y by multiplying both x and y by n, i.e. (n*x)/(n*y).
Then we have 1/4 = (2*1)/(2*4) = 2/8, for example.
Answer:
2 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
its like
(square root 2)^2
{square root and whole square is cancelled and 2 is the answer}
