Answer:

So, the factors of  3x² – 12  are 3(x-2)(x+2).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given expression:

3x² – 12

We have to find the factor of the given expression.

First, taking 3 common from the expression we get,

3x² – 12=3(x²-4)

As we know that,

a²-b²= (a-b)(a+b)

Then we get,

3x² – 12= 3(x-2)(x+2)

So, the factors of  3x² – 12  are 3(x-2)(x+2).

Answer:

The expression is equivalent , but is not completely factored

Step-by-step explanation:

A student factors 3x² – 12 to the following. 3(x² – 4)

3x² – 12 is equivalent to 3(x² – 4), because 3 was factored out;

If we multiply by 3 by opening the brackets then we get the same expression 3x² – 12.  

However; <em>3(x² – 4), could be factored further;</em>

<em>To get; 3(x + 2)(x - 2) ; since x² – 4 is a difference of two squares;</em>

<em>Therefore;</em>

<em>3x² – 12 = 3(x² – 4) = 3(x + 2)(x - 2)</em>

The numbers Of students in the four sixth-grade classes at Northside School are 26,19,,34,and 21.Use the properties to find the
Dafna11 [192]
Basically there are 3 addition properties and they are associative property, identity property, and commutative property.

Commutative property is just changing the order of the addends. Example: 26+19+34+21= 21+34+19+26

Identity Property is just adding a 0 to the number that doesnt change anything. Example: 26+19+34+21 +0 = 100

Associative property is just changing the grouping of the addends. Example: (26+19) + (34+21)

I know these properties may be complicated i know inhate them too haha but i hope i helped :) if you want you can search up the distributive property too but its with multiplication and addition combined and its harder but i think these are the 3 main properties.

Write two ratios equivalent to 24 : 9.
notsponge [240]

Answer:

8:3

16:6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's check if 9 and 24 have any common factor. If they do have any common ones, we must find the GCF (greatest common factor).

Factors of 9: 1, 3, 9

Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

The common factors both of the numbers share and 1 and 3. To find the GCF, simply compare one of the factors to the other.

1 < 3

Now that we know the GCF, we can divide the two numbers in the ratio 24 : 9 by it (3).

24:9

24/3:9/3

<u>8:3</u>

Now that our ratio is simplified, it's going to be much easier to find more ratios that are equivalent. <u>8:3</u> is already one equivalent ratio, but if we multiply each number in the ratio by any other number, we can get a new equivalent ratio. Let's multiply each number in the ratio by 2:

<u>8:3</u>

8 ⋅ 2:3 ⋅ 2

<u>16:6</u>

<u></u>

So, another equivalent ratio to 24:9 (and <u>8:3</u>) is <u>16:6</u>.
