f(x) = 2(3x)
Exponential functions represent the initial value outside of the parentheses so if 2 is the initial value it has to be on the outside of the parentheses.

Answer: the length of the base is 50 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
If you're factoring, your answer is
(4x - 3)(4x + 5)
You'll work it out this way:
16x^2 + 8x - 15
Since there's no GCF here, you multiply the first and third terms, giving you -240. Your next step is to find two numbers that have a sum of 8 and a product of -240. These numbers are 20 and -12. Plug those in and you've got:
16x^2 + 20x - 12x - 15
From here you divide it into two binomials. These are (16x^2 + 20x) and (-12x - 15).
When you take out the greatest common factors (4x and -3), they become:
4x(4x + 5) - 3(4x + 5)
Then you group what's outside of the parentheses together (4x - 3)
And bring what's inside of the parentheses down (4x + 5).
This brings your answer to
(4x - 3)(4x + 5)
You have said that Brigitte is shorter than 5 feet. Translating your statement into rigorous mathematical terminology, we would write "Brigitte's height is less than 5 feet.". Then, using 'h' to represent Brigitte's height, and '<' to represent the words "less than", we can write the statement symbolically as [ h < 5 feet ].
