Answer:

3x² + 3x - 36=

(3x+12)(x-3)

x² - 3x - 28=

(x+4)(x-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

For both equations use the method called the "Cross Method". It is useful for these type of factorisation questions called "Trinomials".

For more info on the cross method.

A population of 805 cheetahs decreases by 10% per year. How many cheetahs will there be in the population after 6 years?

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a(b)^x

a would represent the initial value.

b would represent the change

x represents the number of years

y = 805(0.9)^6

y = 805(0.531441)

y = 427.8

y = 427 cheetahs

Given the polynomial 2x3 + 18x2 − 18x − 162, what is the value of the coefficient 'k' in the factored form?2x3 + 18x2 − 18x − 16

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

$k=3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

$f(x)=2x^3+18x^2-18x-162$

We factor 2 to obtain;

$f(x)=2(x^3+9x^2-9x-81)$

We factor the polynomial within the parenthesis by grouping.

$f(x)=2(x^2(x+9)-9(x+9)$

$f(x)=2(x^2-9)(x+9)$

$f(x)=2(x^2-3^2)(x+9)$

We apply difference of two squares on the second factor: $x^2-3^2=(x-3)(x+3)$

$f(x)=2(x+3)(x-3)(x+9)$

We now compare to;

$f(x)=2(x+k)(x-k)(x+9)$

It is now obvious that $k=3$
