Factor the following:
12 x^4 - 42 x^3 - 90 x^2
Factor 6 x^2 out of 12 x^4 - 42 x^3 - 90 x^2:
6 x^2 (2 x^2 - 7 x - 15)
Factor the quadratic 2 x^2 - 7 x - 15. The coefficient of x^2 is 2 and the constant term is -15. The product of 2 and -15 is -30. The factors of -30 which sum to -7 are 3 and -10. So 2 x^2 - 7 x - 15 = 2 x^2 - 10 x + 3 x - 15 = x (2 x + 3) - 5 (2 x + 3):
6 x^2 x (2 x + 3) - 5 (2 x + 3)
Factor 2 x + 3 from x (2 x + 3) - 5 (2 x + 3):
Answer: 6 x^2 (2 x + 3) (x - 5)
I don't really like these algebra problems which pretend to be geometry.
The bisector makes two equal angles, so
x/2 + 17 = x - 33
50 = (1/2) x
x = 100
That means ABC = 100/2 + 17 = 67 degrees
CBD = 100 - 33 = 67 degrees, equal so that checks
We're asked for ABC which is 67 + 67 = 134 degrees
Answer: 134°
Answer:
11/20
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² = 24 ( multiply both sides by 3 )
2x² = 72 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x² = 36 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ± 
← note plus or minus
x = ± 6
solutions are x = - 6, x = + 6
The smallest solution is x = - 6
