Answer:
2c(c - 3)(c - 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Factor:
- 2c³ - 22c² + 48c
- 2c(c² - 11c + 24)
Think: What two numbers multiply to 24, and add up to -11?
Answer: -8 and -3
Split up the -11c into -8c and -3c:
- 2c(c² - 8c - 3c + 24) (factor each pair)
- 2c( c(c - 8) - 3(c - 8))
- 2c(c - 3)(c - 8)
Answer:
25.3
Step-by-step explanation:
I just put it in my calculator.
The trick is to exploit the difference of squares formula,

Set a = √8 and b = √6, so that a + b is the expression in the denominator. Multiply by its conjugate a - b:

Whatever you do to the denominator, you have to do to the numerator too. So

Expand the numerator:






So we have

But √12 = √(3•4) = 2√3, so
