Answer:

(x + 3)(3x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x² + 5x - 12

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 3 × - 12 = - 36 and sum = + 5

The factors are + 9 and - 4

Use these factors to split the x- term

3x² + 9x - 4x - 12 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 3x(x + 3) - 4(x + 3) ← factor out (x + 3) from each term

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

Thus

3x² + 5x - 12 = (x + 3)(3x - 4) ← in factored form

A fire hydrant with a blue cap provides water at a rate of 1,500 gallons per minute. A fire hydrant with a green cap provides wa
ivann1987 [24]

Answer: 2b = 3g

Step-by-step explanation:

This is quite basic to solve, below is a Step by step explanation:

from the given question we have that;

  • A fire hydrant with a blue cap provides water at a rate of 1,500 gallons per minute.

       i.e  b = 1500 gallons per minute

  • A fire hydrant with a green cap provides water at a rate of 1,000 gallons per minute.

          g = 1000 gallons per minute.

Our questions tells us to write the equation which  relates the flow of water from the blue hydrant, b, to the flow from the green hydrant, g.

ANS:

Since flow from blue  hydrant b = 1500 gallons per minute, we have that

b = 3 * 500

b = 3 * 1000/2 g

b = 3/2 g

equation  gives 2b = 2g

cheers i hope this helped !!

uppose germination periods, in days, for grass seed are normally distributed and have a known population standard deviation of 2
natka813 [3]

Answer: 0.701

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula :  EBM =z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} , where \alpha= significance level , \sigma = Population standard deviation, n= sample size.

As per given,  n= 22

\sigma = 2

Critical z- value for 90% confidence level : z_{\alpha/2}=1.645

Then,

 EBM =(1.645)\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{22}}\\\\=(1.645)\dfrac{2}{4.690416}\\\\\approx0.701

Hence ,  error bound (EBM) of the confidence interval with a 90% confidence level= ± 0.701
