Which shows one way to determine the factors of x3 – 12x2 – 2x + 24 by grouping?
2 answers:
Option D: is the solution
Explanation:
The given expression is
We need to determine the factors of the expression by grouping.
The solution can be determined by factoring the common terms in the expression.
Let us group the expression.
Let us factor out the common terms from the two groups.
Thus, we have,
Thus, the factors of the expression is

Answer:
given you are asked to simplify
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to multiply the numerator and denominator by the denominator's conjugate.
The conjugate of a+bi is a-bi.
When you multiply conjugates, you just have to multiply first and last.
(a+bi)(a-bi)
a^2-abi+abi-b^2i^2
a^2+0 -b^2(-1)
a^2+-b^2(-1)
a^2+b^2
See no need to use the whole foil method; the middle terms cancel.
So we are multiplying top and bottom of your fraction by (-3+4i):
So you will have to use the complete foil method for the numerator. Let's do that:
(-3+5i)(-3+4i)
First: (-3)(-3)=9
Outer:: (-3)(4i)=-12i
Inner: (5i)(-3)=-15i
Last: (5i)(4i)=20i^2=20(-1)=-20
--------------------------------------------Combine like terms:
9-20-12i-15i
Simplify:
-11-27i
Now the bottom (-3-4i)(-3+4i):
F(OI)L (we are skipping OI)
First:-3(-3)=9
Last: -4i(4i)=-16i^2=-16(-1)=16
---------------------------------------------Combine like terms:
9+16=25
So our answer is
