Factor the polynomial by grouping:

2x² – 8xy – 9x + 36y


Take out the greatest common factor of each pair of terms. For instance,

•  the greatest common factor of  2x²  and  – 8xy  is  2x,  so rewrite those terms as a multiple of  2x:
 
   2x² = 2x · x       ✔

   – 8xy = 2x · (– 4y)          ✔


•  the greatest common factor of  – 9x  and  36y  is  9,  so rewrite those terms as a multiple of  9:

   – 9x = 9 · (– x)

   36y = 9 · 4y

Instead of factoring out 9, see what happens if you factor out  – 9:

   – 9x = – 9 · x       ✔

   36y = – 9 · (– 4y)          ✔

That last option is better for what comes next, which is factoring that polynomial by grouping.

Take the polynomial and rewrite it conveniently:

2x² – 8xy – 9x + 36y

= 2x · x + 2x · (– 4y) – 9 · x – 9 · (– 4y)

Just take out common factors.  From the first two terms,  take  2x  out, and for the last two, take out  – 9:

= 2x · (x – 4y) – 9 · (x – 4y)

Now, (x – 4y) is a common factor, then just take it out to finally get to the factored form:

= (x – 4y) · (2x – 9)   <———   this is the answer.


I hope this helps. =)

Working simultaneously, four fudge machines complete a big order in 32 hours. All the machines at the fudge factory work at the
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

4 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the rate of the machines 1/x, because every time they complete an order, it takes them x hours. To find x, we have to add the the rates of the individual machines, which would equal the rate of the machines working together. We know that there are four machines working together at the same rate, and it took them 32 hours.

So:

1/x + 1/x + 1/x + 1/x = 1/32

1/4x = 1/32

4x = 32

x = 8

Thus, the rate of the machines is 1/8.

Now we have to find the time of the order with only half of the machines working together. This time, we don't know the combined rate, so I'll substitute it for y.

1/8 + 1/8 = 1/y

1/4 = 1/y

y = 4

The time taken to complete it is 4 hours.

Use differentials to estimate the amount of paint needed (in m3) to apply a coat of paint 0.04 cm thick to a hemispherical dome
pogonyaev

The amount of paint is the volume of paint needed.

The amount of paint needed is 0.065312 cubic meters

<h3>How to determine the amount of paint needed</h3>

The volume of a hemisphere is:

V = \frac 23\pi r^3

Differentiate the above equation

V' = 2\pi r^2 r'

The above equation represents the estimate of the amount of paint needed.

Where:

  • r represents the radius (r = 52/2 m)
  • r' represents the thickness (r' = 0.04 cm)

So, we have:

V' = 2\pi r^2 r'

V' = 2 * 3.14 * (52/2\ m)^2 * (0.04cm)

V' = 2 * 3.14 * (26\ m)^2 * (0.04cm)

Express cm as m

V' = 2 * 3.14 * (26\ m)^2 * (0.0004m)

V' = 0.065312 m^3

Hence, the amount of paint needed is 0.065312 cubic meters
