The factors are 3x, 4x^2-3 and 5x+2

So, Option B, C and F are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find factors of the expression $p(x)=60x^4+24x^3-45x^2-18x$

Solving the expression: $p(x)=60x^4+24x^3-45x^2-18x$

Taking 3x common:

$p(x)=3x(20x^3+8x^2-15x-6)$

Now, factor by grouping, the terms inside the bracket.

$p(x)=3x((20x^3+8x^2)+(-15x-6))$

$p(x)=3x(4x^2(5x+2)-3(5x+2))$

$p(x)=3x(4x^2-3)(5x+2)$

So, the factors are 3x, 4x^2-3 and 5x+2

So, Option B, C and F are correct.

Solve for x: ( sqrt 7) ^ 6x = 49 ^ (x-6)

LiRa [457]

$(\sqrt{7})^{6x}=49^{x-6} \\
(7^\frac{1}{2})^{6x}=(7^2)^{x-6} \\
7^{\frac{1}{2} \times 6x}=7^{2(x-6)} \\
7^{3x}=7^{2x-12} \\
3x=2x-12 \\
3x-2x=-12 \\
x=-12$

Graph 14x+34y=1 pretty please with a cherry on top!Also thank-you

Svetlanka [38]

To make it much easier, it should be converted to the slope-intercept form
y = mx + b

To do so, 14x + 34y = 1 turns to:
34y = -14x + 1

Divide both sides by 34:
$\frac{34y}{34} = \frac{-14}{34} x + \frac{1}{34}$
Simplified:
$y = \frac{-7}{17} x + \frac{1}{34}$

Answer: $y = -\frac{7}{17} x + \frac{1}{34}$
Here is the graph:
