Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x² + 21x + 18 ← factor out 3 from each term

= 3(x² + 7x + 6) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 6) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 7)

The factors are + 6 and + 1, since

6 × 1 = 6 and 6 + 1 = 7, thus

x² + 7x + 6 = (x + 6)(x + 1)

Thus

3x² + 21x + 18 = 3(x + 6)(x + 1) → B

What is the degree measure of the smaller angle between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock at exactly 2:30 p.m. on a 1

Answer:

105°

Step-by-step explanation:

We are supposed to find the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand at a time of 2:30 in a 12 hour analog clock.

So, we have 12 segments in a clock , each segment corresponding to an hour.

Angle of each segment would be :-

$\frac{360}{12} =30$

At 2:30 the minute hand will be facing 6 hour direction and the hour hand between hours 2 and 3.

So the angle between them would be

$3*30+15=105$

So the angle between the hour and the minute hand at time 2:30 is 105°.
