Choose the correct simplification of the expression (8x − 5)(2x2 − 5x − 6). (1 point)

The easiest terms to check are the first (8x)(2x²) = 16x³ and the last (-5)(-6) = 30. This check eliminates the first choice. The remaining choices differ only in the sign and coefficient of the squared term, so that is the one we need to find.

The squared term will be the sum of the products of factors whose degrees total 2:
(8x)(-5x) + (-5)(2x²) = -40x² -10x² = -50x²

The appropriate choice is
16x³ -50x² -23x +30

Find the following algebra, I am in class and plz give explanation

Lelechka [254]

1) Solving $4a+4b-ac-bc$ we get $(a+b)(4-c)$

2) Solving $16a^4-8b$ we get $8(2a^4-b)$

3) Solving $x^2-8x+15$ we get $(x-3)(x-5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the following expressions:

1) $4a+4b-ac-bc$

We will solve this expression by factoring common terms:

$4a+4b-ac-bc$

Factoring 4 from 4a+4b and -c from -ac-bc

$4(a+b)-c(a+b)$

Taking common term

$(a+b)(4-c)$

2) $16a^4-8b$

We will solve this expression by factoring common terms:

$16a^4-8b$

Taking 8 as common term:

$8(2a^4-b)$

3) $x^2-8x+15$

We can solve the expression by breaking the middle term into 2

$x^2-3x-5x+15\\Finding\,\,common:\\=x(x-3)-5(x-3)\\=(x-3)(x-5)$

Nik needs to estimate how many books will fit in a bin. Each book is 0.75 feet tall, 0.75 feet wide, and 0.25 feet thick. The bi

cricket20 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

first you find the volume of a bin.

that is multiplication of 3 dimensions given.

4*4*4=64 cubic feet...

now volume of books..

0.75*0.75.0.25=0.14 cubic feet

now the number of books that will fit the bin=volume of bin/volume of books

64/0.14=455

455 books

What would be the order?

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

<em>17/2, 8.8 with bar on right 8, |-9|, sqrt(82)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(82) = 9.05538...

17/2 = 8.5

8.8 with bar on right 8 = 8.8888888...

|-9| = 9

In order from least to greatest: 17/2, 8.8 with bar on right 8, |-9|, sqrt(82)
