Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to find the GCF. Here, it's 3.

Then, you factor the polynomial in the parenthesis.
To find the factors, you will need to find 2 numbers that add to -7, and multiply to 10. -2 and -5 add to -7 and multiply to 10. Now, replace -7a with the factors.

This of this polynomial as 2 problems.

Then, factor again.


Then, you keep the factors in parenthesis, and combine the numbers on the outside.

Since, there are 2 of the same factor, you only need one.

BUT REMEMBER!! In the very beginning, we had a 3 that we took out, we STILL need to add that to the final answer. The <u>final answer</u> is:

Answer:
Any [a,b] that does NOT include the x-value 3 in it.
Either an [a,b] entirely to the left of 3, or
an [a,b] entirely to the right of 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The intermediate value theorem requires for the function for which the intermediate value is calculated, to be continuous in a closed interval [a,b]. Therefore, for the graph of the function shown in your problem, the intermediate value theorem will apply as long as the interval [a,b] does NOT contain "3", which is the x-value where the function shows a discontinuity.
Then any [a,b] entirely to the left of 3 (that is any [a,b] where b < 3; or on the other hand any [a,b] completely to the right of 3 (that is any [a,b} where a > 3, will be fine for the intermediate value theorem to apply.
Answer:
13a² - 39a + 46
Step-by-step explanation:
To find g(a-2)+3g(2a), find each part using the function g(x)=x²-5x+8.
g(a-2) = (a-2)²-5(a-2)+8 = a² - 4a + 4-5a + 10+8 = a² - 9a + 22
3g(2a) = 3{(2a)²-5(2a)+8} = 3{ 4a² - 10a + 8} = 12a² - 30a + 24
Combine the values to find g(a-2)+3g(2a).
g(a-2)+3g(2a) = (a² - 9a + 22) + (12a² - 30a + 24) = 13a² - 39a + 46
Remove parentheses
3m - 7m+12 = 2 m-3
collect like terms
3m-7m-12 = 2m-6
move terms
-4m - 12 = 2m-6
collect the like terms and calculate
-4m-2m = -6+12
divide both sides by -6
-6m=6
m= -1
Answer:
- 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is - 5 + - 4 + 7
You do addition first.
-4 + 7 = 3
So now we have - 5 + 3
-5 + 3 = - 2
