Answer:

The fully factored form is (m - 7)(m + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to factor the equation (or any quadratic equation with a first coefficient of 1), you need to look for factors of the last number (-14) that add up to the middle number (-5). So, start by listing the factors of -14.

1, -14

-1, 14

2, -7

-2, 7

The two numbers that add up to -5 are 2 and -7. We now use these in parenthesis with the variable.

(m - 7)(m + 2)

What is the simplified version of 3\sqrt{135}

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The simplified version of $\sqrt[3]{135}$ is $3\sqrt[3]{5}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$\sqrt[3]{135}$

According to the property of radical expression.

$\sqrt[n]{x}=(x)^{\frac{1}{n}}$

Using this property we get

$\sqrt[3]{135}=(135)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$\sqrt[3]{135}=(27\times 5)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$\sqrt[3]{135}=(3^3\times 5)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$\sqrt[3]{135}=(3^3)^{\frac{1}{3}}\times (5)^{\frac{1}{3}}$ $[\because (ab)^x=a^xb^x]$

$\sqrt[3]{135}=3\times \sqrt[3]{5}$ $[\because \sqrt[n]{x}=(x)^{\frac{1}{n}}]$

$\sqrt[3]{135}=3\sqrt[3]{5}$

Therefore the simplified version of $\sqrt[3]{135}$ is $3\sqrt[3]{5}$ .
