Answer:

3x^2 (5x^3 + 4x^2 - 8x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is 15x^5 + 12x^4-24x^3-3x^2

Here we have to find the GCF of all the above terms.

The GCF is 3x^2, let's take out 3x^2 and write the remaining terms in the parenthesis.

15x^5 + 12x^4-24x^3-3x^2

=3x^2 (5x^3 + 4x^2 - 8x - 1)

Therefore, the factors are 3x^2 and (5x^3 + 4x^2 -8x -1).

15x^5 + 12x^4-24x^3-3x^2 = 3x^2 (5x^3 + 4x^2 -8x -1)

Thank you.

(cotx+cscx)/(sinx+tanx)

Butoxors [25]

Answer: $\bold{\dfrac{cot(x)}{sin(x)}}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Convert everything to "sin" and "cos" and then cancel out the common factors.

$\dfrac{cot(x)+csc(x)}{sin(x)+tan(x)}\\\\\\\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)}{sin(x)}+\dfrac{1}{sin(x)}\bigg)\div\bigg(\dfrac{sin(x)}{1}+\dfrac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}\bigg)\\\\\\\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)}{sin(x)}+\dfrac{1}{sin(x)}\bigg)\div\bigg[\dfrac{sin(x)}{1}\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)}{cos(x)}\bigg)+\dfrac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}\bigg]\\\\\\\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)}{sin(x)}+\dfrac{1}{sin(x)}\bigg)\div\bigg(\dfrac{sin(x)cos(x)}{cos(x)}+\dfrac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}\bigg)$

$\text{Simplify:}\\\\\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)+1}{sin(x)}\bigg)\div\bigg(\dfrac{sin(x)cos(x)+sin(x)}{cos(x)}\bigg)\\\\\\\text{Multiply by the reciprocal (fraction rules)}:\\\\\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)+1}{sin(x)}\bigg)\times\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)}{sin(x)cos(x)+sin(x)}\bigg)\\\\\\\text{Factor out the common term on the right side denominator}:\\\\\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)+1}{sin(x)}\bigg)\times\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)}{sin(x)(cos(x)+1)}\bigg)$

$\text{Cross out the common factor of (cos(x) + 1) from the top and bottom}:\\\\\bigg(\dfrac{1}{sin(x)}\bigg)\times\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)}{sin(x)}\bigg)\\\\\\\bigg(\dfrac{1}{sin(x)}\bigg)\times cot(x)}\qquad \rightarrow \qquad \dfrac{cot(x)}{sin(x)}$

4. Determine whether the statement is true or false. Prove the statement directly from the definition if it is true, and give a

natta225 [31]

Answer:

The statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a and b represent two odd integers.

The average (A) is defined by:

A= $\frac{a+b}{2}$

In order to prove the statement, you have to show that it's true for all odd integers. But, to disprove it, you just have to find a counterexample where the statement is false.

Notice that it is easier to try to find a counterexample.

For example, a=3 and b=5

A= $\frac{3+5}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4$

The result of the average is even, therefore the statement is false.

The previous calculation is a counterexample.

A kite flying in the air has an 11 - ft line attached to it. Its line is pulled taut and casts an 8 - ft shadow. Find the height

Fofino [41]

The line, shadow and the height form a right angled triangle so we can apply the Pythagoras theorem here:-

11^2 = h^2 + 8^2 where h = height of the kite
h^2 = 11^2 - 8^2
h^2 = 57
h = 7.55 ft to the nearest foot Answer
