Factor this polynomial completely. 12x^2+ x-6

Mathematics
1 answer:
meriva3 years ago
4 0

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)

Use the arc length formula to find the length of the curve y = 4x − 5, −1 ≤ x ≤ 2. check your answer by noting that the curve is
professor190 [17]
Ok, here we go.  Pay attention.  The formula for the arc length is AL= \int\limits^b_a { \sqrt{1+( \frac{dy}{dx})^2 } } \, dx.  That means that to use that formula we have to find the derivative of the function and square it.  Our function is y = 4x-5, so y'=4.  Our formula now, filled in accordingly, is AL= \int\limits^2_1 { \sqrt{1+4^2} } \, dx (that 1 is supposed to be negative; not sure if it is til I post the final answer).  After the simplification we have the integral from -1 to 2 of \sqrt{17}.  Integrating that we have AL= \sqrt{17}x from -1 to 2.  2 \sqrt{17}-(-1 \sqrt{17} ) gives us 3 \sqrt{17}.  Now we need to do the distance formula with this.  But we need 2 coordinates for that.  Our bounds are x=-1 and x=2.  We will fill those x values in to the function and solve for y.  When x = -1, y=4(-1)-5 and y = -9.  So the point is (-1, -9).  Doing the same with x = 2, y=4(2)-5 and y = 3.  So the point is (2, 3).  Use those in the distance formula accordingly: d= \sqrt{(2-(-1))^2+(3-(-9))^2} which simplifies to d= \sqrt{9+144}= \sqrt{153}.  The square root of 153 can be simplified into the square root of 9*17.  Pulling out the perfect square of 9 as a 3 leaves us with 3 \sqrt{17}.  And there you go!

2-[6÷2+{6×1/2+(7/2-3/2)}]​
professor190 [17]

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

2 - [6 ÷ 2 + {6 × 1/2 + (7/2 - 3/2)}] =

Follow the correct order of operations.

Do one step at a time and copy everything else each time, so you don't lose track of any operation.

= ​2 - [6 ÷ 2 + {6 × 1/2 + 4/2}]

= 2 - [6 ÷ 2 + {6 × 1/2 + 2}]

= 2 - [6 ÷ 2 + {3 + 2}]

= 2 - [6 ÷ 2 + 5]

= 2 - [3 + 5]

= 2 - 8

= -6

steve has quiz scores of 60,64,75,71. If all the quizzes count the same, what is the lowest grade he can make on the next quiz t
NeX [460]

Answer:

The last quiz score must be at least an 80 to get the average to be a 70.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, you need to take the average of the 4 test scores along with the unknown test score (x). So, to find an average, we add all the numbers together and divide by the amount of tests taken. We can then set this equal to 70 since that is the minimum average.

(60 + 64 + 75 + 71 + x)/5 = 70 ------> Multiply both sides by 5

(60 + 64 + 75 + 71 + x) = 350 -----> Combine like terms

270 + x = 350 -----> Subtract 270 from both sides

x = 80

Find the product : 2p (4p² + 5p + 7)
Ber [7]
<h3>Answer: 8p^3 + 10p^2 + 14p</h3>

Explanation:

The outer term 2p is distributed among the three terms inside the parenthesis. We will multiply 2p by each term inside

2p times 4p^2 = 2*4*p*p^2 = 8p^3

2p times 5p = 2*5*p*p = 10p^2

2p times 7 = 2*7p = 14p

The results 8p^3, 10p^2 and 14p are added up to get the final answer shown above. We do not have any like terms to combine, so we leave it as is.
