Answer: (x - 4) (3x + 2)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Factor 3x² - 10x - 8

a) Multiply the first and last coefficients: 3(-8) = -24

b) Find two numbers whose product equals -24 and sum equals -10 (the middle coefficient).

                                           -24

                                             ∧

                                          1    -24

                                          2    -12    This works!

c) Replace the the middle term of -10x with 2x - 12x

    3x² + 2x - 12x - 8

d) Split the equation into two sections (left and right) and factor each side separately.

     3x² + 2x          - 12x - 8

   x(3x + 2)            -4(3x + 2)

e) Notice that the parenthesis are the same. The values on the outside combine to make one of the factors and the parenthesis are the other factor.

 x(<u>3x + 2</u>)            -4(<u>3x + 2</u>)

= (x - 4) (3x + 2)

I need help with this work
STatiana [176]

Answer:

G. 245.04cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest way to solve this problem would be:

total surface area = 2 * π * r² + (2 * π * r) * h

or

total surface area = 2 * π * r * (r + h).

Diameter = 6

Radius = 3

Height = 10

The radius is half the diameter

TSA = Total surface area

TSA = 2 π 3(3+10)

TSA = (2)(3.141593)(3)(3+10)

TSA = (6.283185)(3)(3+10)

TSA = 18.849556(3+10)

TSA = (18.849556)(13)

TSA = 245.044227

TSA = 245.04

Or you could do the longer way, which would be:

Step 1: Find the surface area of the curved part of the cylinder

Surface Area (Curved) = 2 x π x Radius x Height

Step 2: Find the surface area of the two ends of the cylinder

Surface Area (Ends) = 2 x π x Radius²

Step 3: Add the surface are of the curved part to the surface area of the ends

Surface Area (Total) = Surface Area (Curved) + Surface Area (Ends)

For the cylinder in the picture:

A cylinder has a height of 10 and a diameter of 6

Hence, Radius = d/2 = 6/2 = 3 cm

Surface Area (Curved) = 2 x pi x 3 x 10

Surface Area (Curved) = 188.495559

Surface Area (Ends) = 2 x pi x 3²

Surface Area (Ends) = 2 x pi x 25

Surface Area (Ends) = 56.548668

Surface Area (Total) = 245.044227

245.04 is the result of rounding 245.044227 to the nearest hundredth

What is the sum of 1/9, 2/3, and 5/18?<br> A. 19/18<br> B.4/15<br> C. 12/9<br> D. 8/20
kari74 [83]

Answer:

19/18

Step-by-step explanation:

The GCF of 9, 3, and 18 is 18.

Each denominator must be multiplied to 18, and as a result what you multiply in the denominator MUST be multiplied in the numerator.

9 * 2 = 18

1 * 2 = 2

2/18

3 * 6 = 18

6 * 2 = 12

12/18

5/18

Add all three fractions together:

12/18 + 5/18 + 2/18 = 19/18

15% 40% as whole numbers
Alex17521 [72]

Answer: Not possible

Step-by-step explanation: A whole number is an integer or a number without fractions. Both 15% and 40% are less than 1 since they are less than 100%; therefore, it is impossible to express them as whole numbers. They can only be expressed as the mixed numbers of 0.15 and 0.4, or 15/100 and 40/100.
