Select the correct steps for factoring the polynomial 5x^3-40

Mathematics
1 answer:
erastovalidia [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

5 (x-2) (x²+2x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Stating with 5x³ - 40, the want to simplify the x part by extracting the common factor, so

5x³ - 40 = 5(x³-8)

Now to factor x³-8, we can rewrite it in the format x³-2³, right?

And there's a formula to obtain x³-y³, which is the Difference of Cubes formula that goes like this:  x³-y³= (x-y)(x²+xy+y²)

So, we apply this formula replacing the y with our value of 2:

x³-2³= (x-2)(x²+2x+2²) = (x-2)(x²+2x+4)

So, overall, we have 5x³ - 40 = 5 (x-2) (x²+2x+4)

The formula for the lateral surface area of a cylinder is S = 2trh , where r is the radius of the
r-ruslan [8.4K]

\boxed{r=\frac{S}{2\pi h}}

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Remember you have two write complete questions in order to get good and exact answers. Here I'll assume you want to isolate the radius (r). So:

The formula for the lateral surface area of a cylinder is:

S=2\pi rh \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ S:Lateral \ surface \ area: \\ \\ r:Radius \\ \\ h:Height[tex][tex]Dividing \ both \ sides \ by \ 2\pi h: \\ \\ S=2\pi rh \\ \\ \frac{S}{2\pi h}=\frac{2\pi rh}{2\pi h} \\ \\ \\ Finally: \\ \\ \boxed{r=\frac{S}{2\pi h}}

Does a trend line always pass through every point on a scatter plot?
forsale [732]
No, it does not and it's not supposed to.  A trend line is drawn to go through in the best way possible, to go through the "center" of the points as best as it can.  It may hit some of the points, but not all of them.  Generally, the idea is to try to get the trend line to have as many points "above" it as it does "below" it to say you've gone through them evenly.

Find a formula for the inverse of the function. f(x) = e^6x − 9
STatiana [176]

Answer:

f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{6}\ln(x+9)

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the function:

f(x)=e^{6x}-9

To solve for the inverse of a function, change f(x) and x, change the f(x) to f⁻¹(x), and solve for it. Therefore:

x=e^{6f^{-1}(x)}-9

Add 9 to both sides:

x+9=e^{6f^{-1}(x)}

Take the natural log of both sides:

\ln(x+9)=\ln(e^{6f^{-1}(x)})

The right side cancels:

\ln(x+9)=6f^{-1}(x)

Divide both sides by 6:

f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{6}\ln(x+9)

And we're done!

X/5-2=x/2+3 solve for x
Makovka662 [10]
Solve for x:x/5 - 2 = x/2 + 3
Put each term in x/5 - 2 over the common denominator 5: x/5 - 2 = x/5 - (10)/5:x/5 - (10)/5 = x/2 + 3
x/5 - (10)/5 = (x - 10)/5:(x - 10)/5 = x/2 + 3
Put each term in x/2 + 3 over the common denominator 2: x/2 + 3 = x/2 + 6/2:(x - 10)/5 = x/2 + 6/2
x/2 + 6/2 = (x + 6)/2:(x - 10)/5 = (x + 6)/2
Multiply both sides by 10:(10 (x - 10))/5 = (10 (x + 6))/2
10/5 = (5×2)/5 = 2:2 (x - 10) = (10 (x + 6))/2
10/2 = (2×5)/2 = 5:2 (x - 10) = 5 (x + 6)
Expand out terms of the left hand side:2 x - 20 = 5 (x + 6)
Expand out terms of the right hand side:2 x - 20 = 5 x + 30
Subtract 5 x from both sides:(2 x - 5 x) - 20 = (5 x - 5 x) + 30
2 x - 5 x = -3 x:-3 x - 20 = (5 x - 5 x) + 30
5 x - 5 x = 0:-3 x - 20 = 30
Add 20 to both sides:(20 - 20) - 3 x = 20 + 30
20 - 20 = 0:-3 x = 30 + 20
30 + 20 = 50:-3 x = 50
Divide both sides of -3 x = 50 by -3:(-3 x)/(-3) = 50/(-3)
(-3)/(-3) = 1:x = 50/(-3)
Multiply numerator and denominator of 50/(-3) by -1:Answer:  x = (-50)/3

1,8,27; 64; Rule Missing numbers​
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

  rule: f(n) = n³

  missing numbers: 125, 216, 343, 512, 729

Step-by-step explanation:

Your familiarity with the cubes of small integers helps you recognize each of these numbers is a cube. Their sequence is the sequence of cubes of increasing natural numbers.

  1 = 1·1·1 = 1³

  8 = 2·2·2 = 2³

  27 = 3·3·3 = 3³

  64 = 4·4·4 = 4³

__

The rule is ...

  f(n) = n³

The cubes of 5 through 9 will complete the set of numbers ...

  1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512, 729
