Step-by-step explanation:
-2x³ + 14x² + 120x
= -2x(x² - 7x - 60)
= -2x(x - 12)(x + 5).
The other 2 dimensions are -2x and (x + 5).
When using a graphing calculator to maximise the volume of the prism, we get x = 7.378. However this value is not reasonable as it makes -2x and (x - 12) negative, which are the sides of the prism.
Answer:
(4t − 3) (t − 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using AC method:
Given a quadratic ax² + bx + c, find factors of ac that add up to b. Divide those factors by a and reduce. The denominators become the coefficients and the numerators become the constants.
Here, a = 4, b = -27, and c = 18.
ac = 4 × 18 = 72
Factors of 72 that add up to -27: -3 and -24
Divide factors by a: -3/4 and -24/4
Reduce: -3/4 and -6/1
So the factored expression is:
(4t − 3) (t − 6)
Answer: x=0
Step-by-step explanation: f(x)=(x+2)x2-4
0=2x+4-4
0=2x
2x/2=0
0/2=0
x=0
