Answer

3b(3 - 4b)

Explanation

9b - 12b²

To factorize, you factor out what is common in both terms.

First, b is common in both terms. factor it out

9b - 12b² = b(9 - 12b)

3 is also common. factoring out we have,

9b - 12b² = b(9 - 12b)

= 3b(3 - 4b)

There no been any other factor, the answer is 3b(3 - 4b)

9b - 12b² factorised would be 3b(3 - 4b).

You can find this as you must first find a common factor between 9b and -12b², which would be 3b. We can then take this out of the bracket and divide both terms by 3b to get the final answer, which leaves us with 3b(3 - 4b).

I hope this helps!

Let f(x)=x^2+6x−16.<br> Enter the x-intercepts of the quadratic function in the boxes.

$\underline{\underline{\large\bf{Given:-}}}$

$\red{\leadsto}\:$ $\textsf{}$ $\sf f(x)= x^2+6x−16$

$\underline{\underline{\large\bf{To Find:-}}}$

$\orange{\leadsto}\:$ $\textsf{ x-intercepts of the quadratic function }$ $\sf$

$\\$

$\underline{\underline{\large\bf{Solution:-}}}\\$

$\longrightarrow$ x- intercept is the point where graph of given function touches the x-axis,f(x) becomes 0 at the point where graph of given function touches the x-axis. Therefore, we would to solve x^2+6x−16=0 and find its root.

$\begin{gathered}\\\implies\quad \sf x^2+6x−16=0 \\\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\\implies\quad \sf x^2+8x-2x −16=0 \\\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\\implies\quad \sf x(x+8)-2(x+8)=0 \\\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\\implies\quad \sf (x-2)(x+8)=0\\\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\\implies\quad \sf x=2\quad or \quad x=-8 \\\end{gathered}$

$\leadsto$ x-intercepts of the given quadratic function are 2 and -8 .

Find the degree of the polynomial<br> 2x^4y^2+9x^2y^5-3x^4y^4

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

the polynomial has degree 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the degree of a polynomial is given by the degree of its leading term (the term with largest degree). Recall as well that the degree of a term is the maximum number of variables that appear in it.

So, let's examine each of the terms in the given polynomial, and count the number of variables they contain to find their individual degrees. then pick the one with maximum degree, and that its degree would give the actual degree of the entire polynomial.

1) term $2\,x^4\,y^2$ contains four variables "x" and two variables "y", so a total of six. Then its degree is: 6

2) term $9\,x^2\,y^5$ contains two variables "x" and five variables "y", so a total of seven. Then its degree is: 7

3) term $-3\,x^4\,y^4$ contains four variables "x" and four variables "y", so a total of eight. Then its degree is: 8

This last term is therefore the leading term of the polynomial (the term with largest degree) and the one that gives the degree to the entire polynomial.
