Answer:
(5 + 3y)(25 - 15y + 9y²)
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a sum of cubes and factors in general as
a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²), thus
125 + 27y³
= 5³ + (3y)³ with a = 5 and b = 3y
= (5 + 3y)(5² - 5(3y) + (3y)² )
= (5 + 3y)(25 - 15y + 9y²)
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=2×2-32
f(5)=252-32
f(5)=220
The trial and error method is used to find an initial factor:
If we let f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 and all we have to do is sub' in values of x until
f(x) = 0, we can use this to find an initial factor by the factor theorem:
f(1) = (1)³ - (1)² - 24(1) - 36 = -60
f(2) = (2)³ - (2)² - 24(2) - 36 = -80
f(5) = (5)³ - (5)² - 24(5) - 36 = -56
*** f(6) = (6)³ - (6)² - 24(6) - 36 = 0 ***
f(6) = 0 so (x - 6) is a factor of f(x).
This means that: f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 = (x - 6)(ax² + bx + c).
To find a,b and c, use long division (or inspection) to divide x³ - x² - 24x - 36 by x - 6.
The other 2 factors of f(x) can then be found by factorizing the
ax² + bx + c quadratic the way you would with any other quadratic (i.e. by quadratic formula, CTS or inspection).
4x + 6
3x - 2 = x + 8
x = 5
MF = 26
