Whats the answer to 45=x(14-x)

ElenaW [278]

$45=x(14-x)\\ \\45=14x-x^2\\ \\x^2-14x+45=0\\ \\\Delta = b^{2}-4ac = (-14)^{2}-4*1* 45=196-180=16 \\ \\x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{14- \sqrt{16}}{2}=\frac{14-4}{2}= \frac{12}{2}=6\\ \\x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{14+\sqrt{16}}{2}=\frac{14+4}{2}= \frac{18}{2}=9$

How can we factorise the expression: 2x^6+17x^3+8?

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

$(a + 2)( {a}^{2} - 2a + 4 )(2 {x}^{ 3} + 1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x^6+17x^3+8 \\ = 2x^6+16x^3 + {x}^{3} +8 \\ = 2{x}^{3} ( {x}^{3} + 8) + 1( {x}^{3} + 8) \\ = ( {x}^{3} + 8)(2 {x}^{ 3} + 1) \\ = ( {x}^{3} + {2}^{3} )(2 {x}^{ 3} + 1) \\ = (a + 2)( {a}^{2} - 2a + {2}^{2} )(2 {x}^{ 3} + 1) \\ = (a + 2)( {a}^{2} - 2a + 4 )(2 {x}^{ 3} + 1) \\$
