Answer:

2x(x - 6)(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x³ - 10x² - 12x ← factor out 2x from each term

= 2x(x² - 5x - 6)

To factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 6) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)

The factors are - 6 and + 1, since

- 6 × 1 = - 6 and - 6 + 1 = - 5, thus

x² - 5x - 6 = (x - 6)(x + 1) and

2x³ - 10x² - 12x = 2x(x - 6)(x + 1) ← in factored form

The equation $2x^{3} -10x^{2} -12x$ has 2 and x in common. This means you can factor both the 2 and x out of the equation like so...

2x( $x^{2} -5x-6$ )

Hope this helped!

Use function notation to represent the area of a circle whose circumference is 136cm

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

$A(\frac{68}{\pi})=\frac{4624}{\pi}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given circle has circumference 136cm.

The formula for circumference is $C=2\pi r$

This implies that:

$136=2\pi r$

$\frac{136}{2\pi}=r$

$\frac{68}{\pi}=r$

The area of a circle is given as $A(r)=\pi r^2$

When $r=\frac{68}{\pi}$

$A(\frac{68}{\pi})=\pi*(\frac{68}{\pi})^2$

$A(\frac{68}{\pi})=\pi*\frac{(68)^2}{\pi^2}$

$A(\frac{68}{\pi})=\frac{4624}{\pi}$
