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)

A fountain is made up of two semicircles and a quarter circle. Find the perimeter of the fountain. Round answers to nearest tent
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

39.275

Step-by-step explanation:

the diameter of the semicircle is 10

A semicircle is half a circle, and a quarter circle is 1/4 of a circle.

Perimeter of a semicircle is ¶d/2

= 3.142 x 10/2 = 3.142 x 5 = 15.71

For 2 semicircles that will be 15.71 x 2 = 31.42

For the quarter circle, perimeter is ¶d/4 = 3.142 x 10/4 = 3.142 x 2.5 = 7.855

Total perimeter = 31.42 + 7.855 = 39.275

Can someone please help me.
Anika [276]

Answer:

Radius= 8.99 mm (9 mm)

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the formula for the volume of a cone which is

1/3 pi ×(radius)^2 *height

932.58 = (pi) × (11) ×(r^2/3)

Radius^2 = (932.58×3) / (11pi)

= 80.96m

Radius= 8.99mm
