5x⁴ -30x² - 135

Factorizing 5x⁴ -30x² - 135,   Factoring out 5

5( x⁴ -6x² - 27)..............................(a)

Factoring ( x⁴ -6x² - 27). 

x⁴ -6x² - 27 = (x²)² -6(x²) - 27

Let y = x²

Therefore  (x²)² -6(x²) - 27 = y² -6y - 27

Therefore (a)  is the same as:  

5( x⁴ -6x² - 27) = 5(y² -6y - 27)...........(b)

y² -6y - 27 is a quadratic expression

Multiplying first and last terms = y² * -27 = -27y²

We think of two factors that multiply up to -27y², and add up to -6y which is the middle term of the quadratic expression.

The factors are :     -9y and +3y

Check:  (-9y)*(+3y) = -27y²,    +3y + (-9y) = 3y -9y = -6y 

In the expression y² -6y - 27, we replace the middle term -6y with (3y - 9y)

y² -6y - 27

y² +3y - 9y- 27

y(y+3) - 9(y+3)

(y+3)(y-9)

 y² -6y - 27 =  (y+3)(y-9) ........................(c)    

Recall y = x²

(y+3)(y-9) = (x²+3)(x²-9) ........................(d)

But (x²-9) is difference of two squares = x² - 3² = (x-3)(x+3)

(x²+3)(x²-9)

(x²+3)(x-3)(x+3) ...........................(e)

Therefore from (b)

5(x⁴ -6x² - 27) = 5(y² -6y - 27)

5(y² -6y - 27) = 5(y+3)(y-9)  =  5(x²+3)(x²-9) = 5(x²+3)(x-3)(x+3)

So 5x⁴ -30x² - 135  is =  5(x²+3)(x-3)(x+3)

I hope this helps.

Find three consecutive even integers so that twice the largest
vekshin1

If <em>x</em> is the smallest of the three, then the next two integers are <em>x</em> + 2 and <em>x</em> + 4.

"Twice the largest is 20 less than the sum of all three" translates to

2 (<em>x</em> + 4) = (<em>x</em> + (<em>x</em> + 4) + (<em>x</em> + 6)) - 20

Solve for <em>x</em> :

2<em>x</em> + 8 = 3<em>x</em> - 10

<em>x</em> = 18

Then the three numbers are {18, 20, 22}.

A. 3<br> B. 1/3<br> C. -3<br> D. -1/3
guapka [62]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a negative slope since it is going from left to right so that leaves you with c or d.

The slope is rise over run so in this case the rise is 1 and the run is -3 since its going left.

This leads you to -1/3

Hope this helped :)

You invest $15,000 in a savings account with an annual interest rate of 2.5% in
almond37 [142]

Answer:

\$16,990.62  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that    

The compound interest formula is equal to  

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods  

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have  

t=5\ years\\ P=\$15,000\\ r=2.5\%=2.5/100=0.025\\n=4  

substitute in the formula above

A=15,000(1+\frac{0.025}{4})^{4*5}  

A=15,000(1.00625)^{20}  

A=\$16,990.62
