Step-by-step explanation:

a) His mistake was that there is still a x^2 in one of the parenthesis, to be fully factored you cannot have an exponent as part of the answer (he should make it another factor)

b) x^3 - 9x + 2x^2 -18

x^3 +2x^2 -9x -18

(x^3 + 2x^2) -9x-18

x^2(x+2) - 9(x+2)

(x+2) (x^2-9)

(x+2) (x^2-3^2)

(x+2) (x+3) (x-3

His answer was (x- +2) (x^2-9)

a) His mistake was he has x^2 in one of the parenthesis, to be fully factored you cannot have an exponent as part of the answer.

b) x^3 - 9x + 2x^2 -18

Reorder the terms:

x^3 +2x^2 -9x -18

Group the first two terms and the last two terms

(x^3 + 2x^2) -9x-18

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group:

x^2(x+2) - 9(x+2)

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the common factor once x+2:

(x+2) (x^2-9)

Rewrite 9 as 3^2:

(x+2) (x^2-3^2)

Factor one last time:

(x+2) (x+3) (x-3)

Answer:

14.4 m / s

Step-by-step explanation:

=distance between the car

=0.8 × 9

=7.2m

=time taken

=0.5s

=speed

=distance/time

=7.2m/0.5s

=14.4 m / s

What is the area of the semicircle?
Bumek [7]
A = pi r^2 / 2
if 22mm = radius
then
A = (3.14 * 22^2) / 2
A = 759.88

if 22mm is the diameter
then
A = (3.14 * 11^2) /2
A = 189.97

If f(x) is an exponential function where f(4.5) = 16 and f(9.5) = 60, then find
pochemuha

The value of f(15), to the nearest hundredth is 253.88

The standard exponential equation is given as:

  • y = ab^x
  • f(x) = ab^x

If f(4.5) = 16, then;

16 = ab^4.5 ..............1

Similarly, if f(9.5) = 60, then:

60 = ab^9.5 ........................... 2

Dividing both equations will give:

60/16 = ab^9.5/ab^4.5

60/16 = b^9.5-4.5

60/16 = b^5

3.75 = b^5

b = 1.3

Get the value of a. Recall that;

60 = ab^9.5

60 = a(1.3)^9.5

60 = 12.09a

a = 60/12.09

a = 4.96

Get the value of f(15)

f()15 = 4.96(1.3)^15

f(15) = 4.96(51.18)

f(15) = 253.88

Hence the value of f(15), to the nearest hundredth is 253.88

An equilateral triangle has the same perimeter as a square whose side is 12.What is the length of each side of the triangle?​
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The side length of the triangle is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the triangle is

P = 3t  since the sides are all equal

The perimeter of the square is

P = 4s  since the sides are all equal

We are given the perimeter of the square is 12

P = 4*12

P = 48

We are told the perimeters are equal

48 = 3t

Divide by 3

48/3 = 3t/3

16 =t

The side length of the triangle is 16

Give the values of a, b, and c needed to write the equation's general form. 2/3(x - 4)(x + 5) = 1
ale4655 [162]

The first step is to write this equation into general form. The general form of an equation is:

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

To make this equation to general form, you have to simplify the equation first.

2/3(x-4) (x+5) = 1

2/3 (x^2 + 5x – 4x – 20) = 1

2/3(x^2 + x -20) = 1

2/3x^2 + 2/3x – 40/3 = 1

2/3x^2 + 2/3x – 40/3 – 1 = 0

2/3x^2 +2/3x – 43/3 = 0

Therefore, a = 2/3 ; b = 2/3 ; c = -43/3
