Factor the following:
2 x^3 + x^2 - 18 x - 9
Factor terms by grouping. 2 x^3 + x^2 - 18 x - 9 = (2 x^3 + x^2) + (-18 x - 9) = x^2 (2 x + 1) - 9 (2 x + 1):
x^2 (2 x + 1) - 9 (2 x + 1)
Factor 2 x + 1 from x^2 (2 x + 1) - 9 (2 x + 1):
(2 x + 1) (x^2 - 9)
x^2 - 9 = x^2 - 3^2:
(2 x + 1) (x^2 - 3^2)
Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 3^2 = (x - 3) (x + 3):
Answer: (x - 3) (x + 3) (2 x + 1) thus the Answer is C.
Rearrange the formula given to determine the slope, you will see that in y=mx+b form the slope is -2/3
You now have the slope (m) and two test points. Input those values into y=mx+b and you will have your answer!
I got y=(-2/3)x+(22/3) which I'm quite certain is correct.

Answer:
a = 3, b = 12, c = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
The applicable rules of exponents are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
(a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)

<em>Additional comment</em>
I find it easy to remember the rules of exponents by remembering that <em>an exponent signifies repeated multiplication</em>. It tells you how many times the base is a factor in the product.
Multiplication increases the number of times the base is a factor.
Similarly, division cancels factors from numerator and denominator, so decreases the number of times the base is a factor.
Answer: 5458
Step-by-step explanation: So the mean is the same thing as the average. To find the mean you add up all of the numbers, and then divide by 5 because there are five numbers. So the sum would be 27,290. Then that divided by 5 would be 5458.
