Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>b^4 − b^3 + b − 1
=(</span><span>b^4 − b^3) + (b − 1)
= b^3(b - 1) + (b - 1)
=(b - 1)(b^3 + 1)</span>
Answer: 9.2 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2 - 8x - 24
First, we can factor a 2 out of this expression to simplify it.
2(x^2 - 4x - 12)
Now, we can try factoring this two ways: by using the quadratic formula, or by using the AC method.
We're gonna try using the AC method first.
List factors of -12.
1 * -12
-1 * 12
2 * -6
-2 * 6 (these digits satisfy the criteria.)
Split the middle term.
2(x^2 - 2x + 6x - 12)
Factor by grouping.
2(x(x - 2) + 6(x - 2)
Rearrange terms.
<h3><u>(2)(x + 6)(x - 2) is the fully factored form of the given polynomial.</u></h3>
By doing a two step equation
