Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

(a-3)(2a^2 + 3a + 3) = a(2a^2 + 3a + 3) -3(2a^2 + 3a + 3)

  = 2a^3 +3a^2 +3a -6a^2 -9a -9

  = 2a^3 +a^2(3 -6) +a(3 -9) -9

  = 2a^3 -3a^2 -6a -9

  = 2(a^3 -1.5a^2 -3a -4.5) . . . . the form you're asking about

<h3>Answer: Yes they are equivalent</h3>

==============================================

Work Shown:

Expand out the first expression to get

(a-3)(2a^2 + 3a + 3)

a(2a^2 + 3a + 3) - 3(2a^2 + 3a + 3)

2a^3 + 3a^2 + 3a - 6a^2 - 9a - 9

2a^3 + (3a^2-6a^2) + (3a-9a) - 9

2a^3 - 3a^2 - 6a - 9

Divide every term by 2 so we can pull out a 2 through the distributive property

2a^3 - 3a^2 - 6a - 9 = 2(a^3 - 1.5a^2 - 3a - 4.5)

This shows that (a-3)(2a^2 + 3a + 3) is equivalent to 2(a^3 - 1.5a^2 - 3a - 4.5)

Which model shows the correct factorization of x2 – x – 2?
Murljashka [212]

Answer: The correct factors are

(x-1) and (x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one :

To factorize the equation

x²– x – 2=0

First we look for numbers that when multiplied will result to the constant term and when added will result to the second term (1x, - 2x)

Step two :

We replace the second term with these factors we have

x²–(x-2x)–2=0

x²–x+2x–2=0

Factoring the expression we have

x(x–1)+2(x–1)=0

Hence the factors will be

(x-1) and (x+2)
