Notation
I imagine that the expression you are asked to work with is:
3 x^{3}y+15xy-9 x^{2} y-45y

When you use a keyboard it is customary to use "^" to denote an exponent is coming so you could have written: 3x^3y+15xy-9x^2y-45y just to be clear.

PART A
To factor out the GCF we are looking for the greatest factor among the terms. Looking at the coefficients (the numbers) the largest number they can all be divided by is 3 so we will pull out a 3. Notice also that each term has a y in it so we can pull out that.

This gives us: 3 x^{3}y+15xy-9 x^{2} y-45y=3y( x^{3}+5x-3 x^{2} -15)

To factor is to write as a product (something times something else). It undoes multiplication so in this case if you take what we got and multiplied it back you should get the expression we started with.

PART B
Start with the answer in part A. Namely, 3y( x^{3}+5x-3 x^{2} -15). For now let's focus only on what is in the parenthesis. We have four terms so let's take them two at a time. I am separating the expression in two using square brackets. [( x^{3}+5x)]-[3 x^{2} -15]

Let's next factor what is in each bracket:
[( x^{3}+5x)]-[3 x^{2} -15] = [x( x^{2} +5)]-[3( x^{2} +5)]

Notice that both brackets have the same expression in them so now we factor that out: [x( x^{2} +5)]-[3( x^{2} +5)] = (x-3)( x^{2} +5)

Our original expression (the one we started the problem with) had a 3y we already pulled out. We need to include that in the completely factored expression. Doing so we get: 3 x^{3}y+15xy-9 x^{2} y-45y =(3y) (x-3)( x^{2} +5)

Show that the equation x^3 + x -3 =0 has a solution between 1 and 2. That is the only information given
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

f(x) = x^3 + x - 3 = 0

Since the given function is equal to zero, then the function :

f(x) = x^3 + x - 3

where;

x = 1 and

x = 2

f(x) = (1)^3 + (1) - 3 \\  \\ f(x) = 1 + 1 - 3 \\ \\f(x) = -1 < 0

f(2) =  x^3 + x - 3 \\ \\f(2) = (2)^3 + 3 - 3  \\ \\f(2) = 8 + 3 - 3  \\ \\f(2) = 11 - 3 \\ \\f(2) = 8 > 0 \\ \\

Thus; f(1) < 0 and f(2) > 0

You have 400 feet of fencing to enclose a rectangular plot. Find the length and width of the plot that will maximize the area. W
3241004551 [841]
Well, we can denote L and W for the length and width respectively. Lets say the A is the area, we have: 1. A=(L × W) as well as 2. 2(L+W)=400. We rearrange the second equation to get 3. W=200-L. From this, we can see that 0<L<200. Substitute the third equation into the first to get A=(200L-L²). put this formula into the scientific calculator and you will find a parabola with a maximum. That would be the maximum area of the enclosed area. Alternatively, we can say that L is between 0 and 200 when the area equals 0. (The graph you find will be  area against length). As the maximum is generally found halfway, we substitute 100 into the equation and we end up with 10000.

Hope this helps.
