Answer:
(3 x + 2) (5 x - 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the following:
15 x^2 - 2 x - 8
Factor the quadratic 15 x^2 - 2 x - 8. The coefficient of x^2 is 15 and the constant term is -8. The product of 15 and -8 is -120. The factors of -120 which sum to -2 are 10 and -12. So 15 x^2 - 2 x - 8 = 15 x^2 - 12 x + 10 x - 8 = 5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2):
5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2)
Factor 3 x + 2 from 5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2):
Answer: (3 x + 2) (5 x - 4)
Answer:
≈ 11.78 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The arc length is calculated as
arc = circumference of circle × fraction of circle
= 2πr ×
( cancel 2π on numerator/ denominator )
= 15 × 
= 
≈ 11.78 in ( to 2 dec. places )
Mentally, they are numbers in which you can do mental math with since they are whole numbers
