Ibuki factored 12x^7as (4x^3)(3x^4)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Marina86 [1]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Both are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The key understanding here is that you can factor a monomial in many different ways!

To check if any of the factorizations is correct, we can multiply the factors and see if their product is really 12x^712x

7

12, x, start superscript, 7, end superscript.

Hint #22 / 4

\begin{aligned} (\blueD{4}\maroonD{x^3})(\blueD{3}\maroonD{x^4})&=(\blueD{4})(\blueD{3})(\maroonD{x^3})(\maroonD{x^4}) \\\\ &=\blueD{12}\maroonD{x^7} \end{aligned}

(4x

3

)(3x

4

)

​

 

=(4)(3)(x

3

)(x

4

)

=12x

7

​

So Ibuki is correct!

Hint #33 / 4

\begin{aligned} (\blueD{2}\maroonD{x^6})(\blueD{6}\maroonD{x})&=(\blueD{2})(\blueD{6})(\maroonD{x^6})(\maroonD{x}) \\\\ &=\blueD{12}\maroonD{x^7} \end{aligned}

(2x

6

)(6x)

​

 

=(2)(6)(x

6

)(x)

=12x

7

​

So Melodie is also correct!

Both Ibuki and Melodie are correct.

Are randomly choosing a person who is left-handed and randomly choosing a person who is right-handed mutually exclusive events?
Masteriza [31]

Answer: No .

Step-by-step explanation:

There are special cases where a person can use right and left hand equally well . I.e ambidextrous .

In statistical terms and probability theory, two events (or propositions) are mutually exclusive or disjoint if they cannot both occur at the same time .however in this case it may occur that the person is right and left handed at the same time .

The positive integer k has exactly two positive prime factors, 3 and 7. if k has a total of 6 positive factors, including 1 and
Sav [38]
I think there are two solutions, 63 or 147:

63 = 3² x 7, factors  1 | 3 | 7 | 9 | 21 | 63<span>
147 = 3 x 7</span>², factors 1 | 3 | 7 | 21 | 49 | 147

Find the distance between the point (2, 3) and the line 4x + 3y = 10 (round your answer to the nearest tenth).
Monica [59]

Explanation

Let's first graph the elements:

Using the distance formula we get:

d=\frac{|4(2)+3(3)-10|}{\sqrt{4^2+3^2}}d=\frac{|7|}{\sqrt{25}}=\frac{7}{5}=1.4

The function f(x)=125(0.9)x models the population of a species of fly in millions after x years.
SSSSS [86.1K]
A word to the wise:  It's  <span> f(x)=125(0.9)^x,   where ^ represents exponentiation.

In this case the ave. value over the interval [11, 15] is

 125(0.9)^15 - 125(0.9)^11
------------------------------------- = (125/4) [ 0.9^15 - 0.9^11)
               15 - 11                    =  (31.25) [ 0.2059 - 0.3138 ] = a negative result
                                              =  (31.25)(-0.1079) = -3.372  (av. r. of c.
                                                     over the interval [11,15] )

Do the same thing for the time interval [1,5].  Then compare the two rates of change.</span>
