3p^2 - 7p -40

Factor -7 out of -7p and rewrite -7 as -15 +8:

3p^2 +(-15 +8)p -40

Apply distributive property:

3p^2 -15p +8p -40

Group the first two terms and the last two terms:

(3p^2 -15p) + (8p-40)

Factor out the GCF from each group:

3p(p-5) + 8(p-5)

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the GCF (p-5)

(p-5)(3p+8)

Ok so 3x-40=-120 and the middle number is -7 so the two numbers will have to multiply to -120 and add to - so those numbers would be 15 and-8 so then we will factor by parts so 3p^2+15p-8p-40 then section into brackets (3p^2+15p)(-8p-40) out of the first bracket you can factor out 3p and on the second bracket you can factor out -8 so you are left with 3p(p+5)-8(p+5) the combine 3p and -8 so (3p-8)(p+5)

A 3 kg toy car rests st the top of a 0.45 meter ramp. What is its gravitational potential energy?
salantis [7]
<span>gravitational potential energy : P
Gravity : g
Mass : m
height : h

P = mgh  = 3 x 9.8 x 0.45 = 13.23 Joule

Potential energy is work , from the known formula

W = Fd ( work = force x distance ) 

W = P ( in case of potential energy height change)

F is the force acting on the body in case of ideal ramp , the only force acting is the weight of the body

F = mg ( not just <m> as the force is mg (Newton) gravity effect)

d is the displacement in direction of force, as we have considered the force to be the weight not it's component in direction of the ramp , the change in displacement is the change in height so

d = h 

W = Fd = (F = mg) x (d = h) = mgh 

W = mgh = P

How should this problem be solved?<br> (a^3)^2
fiasKO [112]
  (a^3)^2
= a^(3*2)
= a^6
or
   a^3 * a^3
= a^(3+3)
= a^6
