Answer:

6x² + x - 12 = (2x + 3) (3x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor 6x² + x - 12 by grouping

we need to rewrite the middle term as a sum of two terms whose product is (6* −12) = −72 and whose sum is 1

The middle term = x = 9x - 8x

6x² + x - 12

= 6x² + 9x - 8x - 12 Grouping the first two terms and the last two terms

= (6x² + 9x) + ( - 8x - 12)

From the first two terms take 3x as a common and from the two terms take (-4) as a common

= 3x ( 2x + 3) -4 (2x + 3)

Take (2x + 3) as a common

= <u> (2x + 3) (3x - 4)</u>

Geometric sequences HELP ASAP!

Pani-rosa [81]

Given:

The table for a geometric sequence.

To find:

The formula for the given sequence and the 10th term of the sequence.

Solution:

In the given geometric sequence, the first term is 1120 and the common ratio is:

$r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}$

$r=\dfrac{560}{1120}$

$r=0.5$

The nth term of a geometric sequence is:

$a_n=ar^{n-1}$

Where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

Putting $a=1120, r=0.5$ , we get

$a_n=1120(0.5)^{n-1}$

Therefore, the required formula for the given sequence is $a_n=1120(0.5)^{n-1}$ .

We need to find the 10th term of the given sequence. So, substituting $n=10$ in the above formula.

$a_{10}=1120(0.5)^{10-1}$

$a_{10}=1120(0.5)^{9}$

$a_{10}=1120(0.001953125)$

$a_{10}=2.1875$

Therefore, the 10th term of the given sequence is 2.1875.

Factor the polynomial expression x4 + 18x2 + 81

Akimi4 [234]

Answer: $(x^2+9)^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite it in the form $a^2+2ab+b^2$ , where $a=x^2 and b=9.$

$(x^2)^2+2(x^2)(9)+9^2$

Use Square of Sum: $(a+b)^2= a^2+2ab+b^2$

$(x^2+9)^2$
