The factorization below is missing two positive integers a and b. 6x^(3)+18x^(2)-240x=6x(x-a)(x+b) Factor the polynomial and the

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

$6x^3+18x^2-240x=6x(x^2+3x-40)\\\\\text{** The sum of the zeroes is -3=-8+5 and the product is -40=-8*5. **}\\\\\text{** So, we can factorise. **}\\\\6x^3+18x^2-240x=6x(x^2+3x-40)=6x(x^2+8x-5x-40)\\\\=6x(x(x+8)-5(x+8))\\\\\large \boxed{=6x(x+8)(x-5)}$

So, a = 5.

Thank you.

Can someone help me with this 2 step eqaution

Snowcat [4.5K]

The answer is: " 40 books " .
____________________________________________
Explanation:
____________________________________________
Let "x" equal the number of books that Jill started with. Solve for "x" :
____________________________________________
x – (1/2)x + 16 = 36 ;

1x – (1/2)) = (1/2)x ;

(1/2)x + 16 = 36 ;

Subtract "16" from EACH SIDE of the equation:

(1/2)x + 16 – 16 = 36 – 16 ;

(1/2)x = 20 ;

Multiply each side of the equation by "2" ;

2*(1/2)x = 20 * 2 ;

to get: x = 40 .
____________________________________________
The answer is: " 40 books " .
