Answer:First, find the greatest common factor of the coefficients of the given expression.

The greatest common factor of 15 and 21 is 3. Factor this out of the polynomial.

Next, find the greatest common factor of the variables.

The greatest common factor of x2 and x is x. Factor this out of the polynomial.

So, the greatest common factor of the expression 15x2 − 21x is 3x.

Now, consider the expression 15x2 − 21.

The greatest common factor of the coefficients 15 and 21 is 3. Only one term has a variable, so there is no common variable factor. Factor 3 out of the polynomial.

So, the greatest common factor of the expression 15x2 − 21 is 3.

Consider the expression 18x2 − 24x.

The greatest common factor of the coefficients 18 and 24 is 6, and the greatest common factor of the variables x2 and x is x. Factor these out of the polynomial.

So, the greatest common factor of the expression 18x2 − 24x is 6x.

Consider the expression 12x2 − 18x.

The greatest common factor of the coefficients 12 and 18 is 6, and the greatest common factor of the variables x2 and x is x. Factor these out of the polynomial.

So, the greatest common factor of the expression 18x2 − 24x is 6x.

Consider the expression 12x2 − 15x.

The greatest common factor of the coefficients 12 and 15 is 3, and the greatest common factor of the variables x2 and x is x. Factor these out of the polynomial.

So, the greatest common factor of the expression 12x2 − 15x is 3x.

Therefore, the expression 12x2 − 15x has the same GCF as 15x2 − 21x.

Answer:

15x^2 +21 x

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression:

15x^2 -21 x

We can find the GCF with the following steps.

1. Find the GCF for the numerical part 15 and -21

The factors for 15 are : 1,3,5,15

The factors for -21 are -21,-7,-3,-1,1,3,7,21

And the common factors are 1,3

The GCF for the numerical part is 3*1 = 3

2. Find the GCF for the variable

The factors of x^2 are : x*x

The factors of x are: x

The common factors are x for this case, so then the GCF for the variable part is x

3. Multiply the two results from steps 1 and 2

GCf= 3*x = 3x

If we consider the new expression:

15x^2 +21x

We can find the GCF with the following steps.

1. Find the GCF for the numerical part 15 and -21

The factors for 15 are : 1,3,5,15

The factors for -21 are 1,3,7,21

And the common factors are 1,3

The GCF for the numerical part is 3*1 = 3

2. Find the GCF for the variable

The factors of x^2 are : x*x

The factors of x are: x

The common factors are x for this case, so then the GCF for the variable part is x

3. Multiply the two results from steps 1 and 2

GCf= 3*x = 3x

And as we can see both GCF are equal. So then we satisfy the condition required.

Write an expression for the eighth partial sum of the series using summation notation
balandron [24]

Answer:

option B

Step-by-step explanation:

9/10 + 6/5 + 3/2...........

We find the difference between the terms

\frac{6}{5} - \frac{9}{10}

\frac{12}{10} - \frac{9}{10} = \frac{3}{10}

We will get the same difference when we subtract consecutive terms.

so , d= 3/10, a= 9/10

we find the formula for nth term

a_n = a+(n-1) d

a_n = \frac{9}{10} + (n-1)\frac{3}{10}

a_n = \frac{9}{10} +\frac{3}{10}n-\frac{3}{10}

a_n = \frac{6}{10} +\frac{3}{10}n

a_n = \frac{3}{5} +\frac{3}{10}n

we need to find eighth partial sum so we  take n=1 to 8

sum of 8 terms (\frac{3}{5} +\frac{3}{10}n)

So option B is correct

A quadratic equation is shown below:
AfilCa [17]

the solutions to a general quadratic equation is

X=-b±√b²-4ac/2a  ,, When ax²+bx+c=0

the discriminant is the expression under the radical b²−4ac

Part A:

discriminant is (-16)² - 4(9)(60) = -1904

there are two complex solutions  

Part B:  

4x² + 8x − 5 = 0

4x² + 10x -2x - 5=0

2x ( 2x + 5) - 1(2 x + 5) =0  

(2x + 5)(2x-1) = 0

      /                     \

    /                          \

2x+5 = 0                 2x-1 =0    

x = -5/2                     x = 1/2
