Answer:

(3 x - 2) (4 x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

12 x^2 + x - 6

Factor the quadratic 12 x^2 + x - 6.

The coefficient of x^2 is 12 and the constant term is -6.

The product of 12 and -6 is -72. The factors of -72 which sum to 1 are -8 and 9.

So 12 x^2 + x - 6 = 12 x^2 + 9 x - 8 x - 6 = 3 (3 x - 2) + 4 x (3 x - 2):

3 (3 x - 2) + 4 x (3 x - 2)

Factor 3 x - 2 from 3 (3 x - 2) + 4 x (3 x - 2):

Answer: (3 x - 2) (4 x + 3)

What is the sum of sqrt -2 and sqrt -18

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

4i sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(-2) + sqrt(-18)

We know sqrt(ab)= sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

sqrt(-1)sqrt(2) + sqrt(9) sqrt(-2)

sqrt(-1)sqrt(2) + sqrt(9) sqrt(2)sqrt(1)

We know the sqrt(-1) is equal to i

i sqrt(2) +3 sqrt(2) i

i sqrt(2) +3i sqrt(2)

4i sqrt(2)

The general solution of 2 y ln(x)y' = (y^2 + 4)/x is

Sav [38]

Replace $y'$ with $\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}$ to see that this ODE is separable:

$2y\ln x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{y^2+4}x\implies\dfrac{2y}{y^2+4}\,\mathrm dy=\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{x\ln x}$

Integrate both sides; on the left, set $u=y^2+4$ so that $\mathrm du=2y\,\mathrm dy$ ; on the right, set $v=\ln x$ so that $\mathrm dv=\dfrac{\mathrm dx}x$ . Then

$\displaystyle\int\frac{2y}{y^2+4}\,\mathrm dy=\int\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{x\ln x}\iff\int\frac{\mathrm du}u=\int\dfrac{\mathrm dv}v$

$\implies\ln|u|=\ln|v|+C$

$\implies\ln(y^2+4)=\ln|\ln x|+C$

$\implies y^2+4=e^{\ln|\ln x|+C}$

$\implies y^2=C|\ln x|-4$

$\implies y=\pm\sqrt{C|\ln x|-4}$
