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!

Factorize:<br>(2a - b)² - (a - 2b)²​
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

3(a - b)(a + b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorize: (2a - b)² - (a - 2b)²​

  • Different of Perfect a Square rule: a²​ - b²​ = (a + b)(a - b)

(2a - b)² - (a - 2b)²​ = [(2a - b) + (a - 2b)] × [(2a - b) - (a - 2b)]

1. Distribute and Simplify:

Distribute the (+) sign on the first bracket and simplify: [(2a - b) + (a - 2b)] → 2a - b + a - 2b → (3a - 3b)

Distribute the (-) sign on the first bracket and simplify: [(2a - b) - (a - 2b)] → 2a - b – a + 2b → (a + b)

We now have:

(3a - 3b)(a + b)

2. Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (3) from 3a - 3b:

(3a - 3b) → 3(a - b)

3. Add "(a + b)" back into your factored expression:

3(a - b)(a + b)

Hope this helps!

Can you solve the equation?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

x=3 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

; x-3=0

x=3 (change side change mark)

and

\frac{2}{3} x - 6 = 0

\frac{2}{3} x = 6

x = 6 \times  \frac{3}{2}

change side change mark.

So, x=9

If u wanna check the answer you can check by substitution x=3 and 9 in equation.

hope it helps you ☺️
