Answer:

See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

First put 2x-4 equal to 0 and solve it.

2x-4=0

2x=4

x=2

Now plug 2 into the polynomial and see if it equals to 0

In case it's not, then it is not a factor of it

2(2)^5 - 4(2)^4 + 2x^2 -2(2) - 4 = 0


So it's indeed a factor of the polynomial.


Hope this helps!

Which expression is equivalent to (4x^(3)y^(5))(3x^(5)y)^(2)
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

(4x^3y^5)(3x^5y)^2 = 36*x^{13}y^7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(4x^3y^5)(3x^5y)^2

Required

The equivalent expression

We have:

(4x^3y^5)(3x^5y)^2

Expand

(4x^3y^5)(3x^5y)^2 = 4x^3y^5*9x^{10}y^2

Further expand

(4x^3y^5)(3x^5y)^2 = 4*9*x^3*x^{10}y^5*y^2

Apply laws of indices

(4x^3y^5)(3x^5y)^2 = 36*x^{13}y^7

The campers in cabin A walked 1/4 of the way to otter ridge (13 miles) How many miles did they walk?
shusha [124]
The question demands that we find a fraction of a given quantity.

The 'of ' means multiplication.

So the total distance of the journey was

13 \: miles

But they walked ¼ of the whole journey. We are supposed to find

\frac{1}{4} \: of \: 13 \: miles
\\= \frac{1}{4} \times 13 \: miles

= \frac{13}{4} \: miles

= 3.25\: miles

Hence they walked 3.25 miles.
