Identify all factors of the expression 12x^2-14x-6

Mathematics
1 answer:
Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago

Let's solve this by using the quadratic formula:

\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}


Note that we only use the coefficients so a=12, b=-14, and c=-6.

Plug values in the quadratic equation:

\frac{ -  ( - 14)± \sqrt{ {( - 14)}^{2} - 4(12)( - 6) } }{2(12)}

And so by evaluating those values we obtain:

\frac{14+-\sqrt{484} }{24}=\frac{14+-22}{24}  \\\\

Now we have two answers which are our factors one where we add another where we subtract and so:

First factor:

\frac{14+22}{24}=\frac{36}{24}=\frac{3}{2}


Second Factor:

\frac{14-22}{24}=\frac{-8}{24}=-\frac{1}{3}


And so your factors are

\frac{3}{2},-\frac{1}{3}

meaning that those are your roots/x-intercepts.

Show that 1n^ 3 + 2n + 3n ^2 is divisible by 2 and 3 for all positive integers n.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Prove:

Using mathemetical induction:

P(n) = n^{3}+2n+3n^{2}

for n=1

P(n)  = 1^{3}+2(1)+3(1)^{2} = 6

It is divisible by 2 and 3

Now, for n=k, n > 0

P(k) = k^{3}+2k+3k^{2}

Assuming P(k) is divisible by 2 and 3:

Now, for n=k+1:

P(k+1) = (k+1)^{3}+2(k+1)+3(k+1)^{2}

P(k+1) = k^{3}+3k^{2}+3k+1+2k+2+3k^{2}+6k+3

P(k+1) = P(k)+3(k^{2}+3k+2)

Since, we assumed that P(k) is divisible by 2 and 3, therefore, P(k+1) is also

divisible by 2 and 3.

Hence, by mathematical induction, P(n) = n^{3}+2n+3n^{2} is divisible by 2 and 3 for all positive integer n.

Janelle graphed a line through (−6, 5) that had a slope of −79. What is the y-coordinate of a point on the line that has an x-co
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The value of the y-coordinate is -706

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line is;

y = mx + c

where m is slope and c is t-intercept

Given the slope, we can write the equation as;

y = -79x + c

we need to get c

Just put in the x and y values of the given point

X = -6 and y = 5

5 = -79(-6) + c

5 = 474 + c

c = 5-474 = -469

So the complete equation of the line would

be ;

y = -79x - 469

To get the y-coordinate of the point, just insert the x value into the equation;

y = -79(3) - 469

y = -237 - 469 = -706
