1. Reduce <span>3x2-6x-240 to x^2 - 2x - 80
2. Use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation
3. Factor </span>x^2 - 2x - 80 using completing the square:
x^2 - 2x + 1^2 - 1^2 - 80
(x+1)^2 - 1 - 80
(x+1)^2 - 81
(x+1)^2 - 9^2 = (x+1-9)(x+1 +9), or (x-8)(x+10)
Final answer, with all factors shown: 3(x-8)(x+10)
Yes. As long as it is linear, it will be continuous no matter the numbers. Now, I have no idea what a "real" number is, but I hope this helped.
-2 plus -2. hope it helps
You are correct
12.2^2 x 3.14 x 6.1 = 2850.9
