Answer:

  • Answer 2) 3a(16a^2-25)
  • Answer 4) 3a(4a+5)(4a-5)
  • Answer 5) -3a(25-16a^2)
  • Answer 6) -3a(5-4a)(5+4a)

Step-by-step explanation:

The factors of each term are ...

  • 2·2·2·2·3·a·a·a
  • 3·5·5·a

So, the greatest common factor is 3a. Factoring that out gives ...

  3a(16a^2 -25) . . . . . . matches answer 2

The factor in parentheses is the difference of squares, so it can be factored. You have memorized the form for the difference of squares ...

  p^2 -q^2 = (p -q)(p +q)

so you know the factoring of this with p=4a and q=5 will be ...

  3a(4a -5)(4a +5) . . . . . . matches answer 4

__

Any <em>pair</em> of factors can be multiplied by -1 without changing the value of the expression. So, two more answers are equivalent:

   (-3a)(-(16a^2 -25) = -3a(25 -16a^2) . . . . . . matches answer 5

  (-3a)(-(4a -5)(4a +5) = -3a(5 -4a)(5 +4a) . . . . . . matches answer 6

Answer:

2 4 5 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The highest common factor is 3a That means that 48a^3 must be divided by 3a which means 48a^3 / 3a = 16a^2. Notice what happened. 48/3 = 16. a^3/a = a^2.

Now you have to pull out 3a from 75a. That wasn't done to Answer 1. So answer one is incorrect.

75a/3a = 25

So far what you answer looks like is

3a(16a^2 - 25) which is answer 2

===========================================

Answer 3 is wrong because one of the factor has to be - 5. Neither one is.

===========================================

Answer 4 is correct

16a^2 - 25 factors into (4a - 5)(4a + 5)

So what is written reflects those factors + the 3a

==============================================

Now we come to the brutal ones.

If you take out a minus sign from the brackets, it has the effect of turning the two terms inside the brackets around.

-3a(25 - 16a^2) is what the above sentence means. so 5 is correct

==============================================

The two terms inside the brackets still factor

-3a ( 5 - 4a)(5 + 4a) It is just that they are turned around.

6 is correct.

===============================================

What is 15.37×5 show work
just olya [345]
This should be quite easy to explain. So the first thing you want to do is multiply them. This isn't to hard if you know your times tables. Don't worry about the decimal till the end.

 15.37
×      5
---------
 76.85

15.37 times 5 is 76.85

Now on to the decimal. All you need to do is move it two times to the left. You see how it's in between the 5 and 3? The same goes for your answer. So it is 76.85 

I hope this helped!! ^^ I can make this a little more easier to explain if you want me to just in case, ok?

Determine the solubility for cuc2o4(s) in pure water. Ksp for is 2. 9 × 10^-8
Elena-2011 [213]

Based on the elements and charges in Copper (II) Oxalate, CuC₂O₄(s), the solubility in pure water is 1.7 x 10⁻⁴ M.

<h3>What is the solubility of Copper (II) Oxalate in pure water?</h3>

The solubility equilibrium (Ksp) is 2.9 x 10⁻⁸ so the solubility can be found as:

Ksp = [Cu²⁺] [C₂O₄²⁻]

Solving gives:

2.9 x 10⁻⁸ = S x S

S² = 2.9 x 10⁻⁸

S = 1.7 x 10⁻⁴ M
