I think you're trying to say 6x^6-4x^5+9x-6. ^ Is a symbol that means the number after it is an exponent.
First step, find the gcf (greatest common factor) between the first two parts. The gcf of 6x^6-4x^5 is 2x^5.
Now take it out. You get
2x^5(3x-2)
If you expand that equation, you will get 6x^6-4x^5 which is why you know it's correct.
Now do the same for the second half.
The gcf for the second two parts is 3.
3(3x-2)
Notice anything? Yep, in both of them, after you take out the gcf, you get (3x-2)
Now, you combine them into one equation
2x^5(3x-2)+3(3x-2)
Then you do this
(2x^5+3)(3x-2)
That's your factored form.

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2-11=89

add 11 to both sides

4x^2=100

Divide 4 on both sides

x^2=25

Take the square root of both sides to eliminate the power of two from x

\sqrt{x^2} =\sqrt{25}

Simplify

x=5

Which equation is y = –3x2 – 12x – 2 rewritten in vertex form?
Andrej [43]
<span>The general equation of a quadratic is expressed as y = ax^2+bx+c. To convert the general equation to vertex form, we need to obtain this form:

(y- k)= a(x - h)^2

This could be done by using completing the square method.

</span><span>y = –3x^2 – 12x – 2
</span><span>y + 2 = –3(x^2 + 4x) 
</span>y + 2 -12 <span>= –3(x^2 + 4x + 4) 
</span>y - 10 = -3(x+2)^2

Therefore, the answer is the first option.

the graph below shows how many gallons of gas are used by a boat when it travels. how many gallons of gas would the boat use to
Sindrei [870]
The boat uses 4 gallons to travel 6 miles. Traveling 4 times as far is expected to require 4 times the gas.

4 gallons = 6 miles
Multiply by 4.
16 gallons = 24 miles

⇒ 16 gallons
