Answer:

Third step is incorrect. The correct factored form is (x-1)(2x-5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

2x^2-7x+5

We need to find the factored form of this expression.

Step 1: Given

2x^2-7x+5

Step 2: Splitting the middle term method, the middle term can be written as (-5x-2x).

2x^2-5x-2x+5

(2x^2-5x)+(-2x+5)

Step 3: Taking out common factors from each parenthesis.

x(2x-5)-1(2x-5)

Step 4: Taking out common factors.

(x-1)(2x-5)

Therefore, the third step is incorrect. The correct factored form is (x-1)(2x-5).

An artist makes a cube-shaped sculpture.
ratelena [41]
All the sides of a cube are always the same.
Area = 12 in x 12 in = 144 in^2
Volume = 12 in x 12 in x 12 in = 1728 in^3

Hence, you can confirm all the side of this cube is 12 in.
