The order of selection matters, therefore we need to find permutations:
The number of ways is found from 10P3.
$10P3=\frac{10!}{7!}=10\times9\times8=720\ ways$

LCM of x<sup>2</sup>+5x+6 and x<sup>2</sup>-x-6 is ………………………

sergejj [24]

Answer:

$(x^2 - 9)(x + 2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$x^2 + 5x + 6$

$x^2 - x - 6$

Required:

LCM of the polynomials

SOLUTION:

Step 1: Factorise each polynomial

$x^2 + 5x + 6$

$x^2 + 3x + 2x + 6$

$(x^2 + 3x) + (2x + 6)$

$x(x + 3) + 2(x + 3)$

$(x + 2)(x + 3)$

$x^2 - x - 6$

$x^2 - 3x +2x - 6$

$x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3)$

$(x + 2)(x - 3)$

Step 2: find the product of each factor that is common in both polynomials.

We have the following,

$x^2 + 5x + 6 = (x + 2)(x + 3)$

$x^2 - x - 6 = (x + 2)(x - 3)$

The common factors would be: =>

$(x + 2)$ (this is common in both polynomials, so we would take just one of them as a factor.

$(x + 3)$ and,

$(x - 3)$

Their product = $(x - 3)(x + 3)(x +2) = (x^2 - 9)(x + 2)$

Answer:

Yes, you can buy the used car with $849.92 left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

20 hours per week for 52 weeks = 1040 hours

1040 hours at $8 = $8320 per year

FICA = 8320 x 0.0565 = $470.08

8320 - 470.08 = $7849.92
