Answer:

(x-2), (x+2), (3x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of 3: ±1, ±3

Factors of 20: ±1, ±2, ±4, ±5, ±10, ±20

Possible factors of the polynomial: ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±5, ±10, ±20, .... (there's a lot more but you probably do not need to list them all)

Pick a number to divide the polynomial by (I picked 2)

(3x³-5x²-12x+20)÷(x-2) = 3x²+x-10

So (x-2) is a factor of f(x) = 3x³-5x²-12x+20

Factor 3x²+x-10 = (3x-5)(x-2) these are the other factors of f(x) = 3x³-5x²-12x+20

F(x)=2x(x+1) write in general form

arsen [322]

The general form of a quadratic expression is as follows
$f(x) = a {x}^{2} + bx + c$

Therefore, the given formula in general form would be:
$f(x) = 2x(x + 1)$
$f(x) = 2x \times x + 2x \times 1$
$f(x) = 2 {x}^{2} + 2x$

Eric’s average income for the first 4 months of the year is $1,450.25, what must be his average income for the remaining 8 month

UNO [17]

Answer:

$1946

Step-by-step explanation:

His average for the first four months

= $1,450.25

So he earned 4*$1,450.25

= $5801 for the first four months.

Then for the year his average is $1,780.75.

So he earned $1,780.75*12 for the year.

=$ 21369

So the amount he earned for the remaining 8 months was 21369-5801

= $15568

The average for the 8 Months= 15568/8

= $1946
