Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is an example of the distributive property. -3 multiplies both the 4x and the -12. The minus sign between them is NOT destroyed.

-3 * 4x = -12x

-3 * -12 = 36

Answer: - 12x + 36

Answer:

-12(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are only trying to simplify, you can factor out a 4 from (4x - 12).

4(x-3)

now multiply the 4 and -3

-12(x-3)

Simplify the expression below. (2n/6n+4)(3n+2/3n-2)

andrezito [222]

Answer:

$\frac{n}{3n-2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:

$\frac{2n}{(6n+4)} \cdot \frac{3n+2}{3n-2}$

Using the distributive property: $a \cdot (b+c) =a\cdot b+a\cdot c$

$\frac{2n}{2(3n+2)} \cdot \frac{3n+2}{3n-2}$

Simplify:

$\frac{2n}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{3n-2}$

Simplify:

$\frac{n}{3n-2}$

Therefore, the simplified given expression is, $\frac{n}{3n-2}$

Evaluate s(t)=∫t−[infinity]||r′(u)||du for the bernoulli spiral r(t)=⟨etcos(8t),etsin(8t)⟩. It is convenient to take −[infinity]

sveta [45]

$\vec r(t)=\langle e^t\cos8t,e^t\sin8t\rangle$

$\|\vec r'(t)\|=\sqrt{(e^t(\cos8t-8\sin8t))^2+(e^t(\sin8t+8\cos8t))^2}=e^t\sqrt{(\cos8t-8\sin8t)^2+(\sin8t+8\cos8t)^2}$

$\implies\|\vec r'(t)\|=e^t\sqrt{65}$

Then

$s(t)=\displaystyle\sqrt{65}\int_{-\infty}^te^u\,\mathrm du=\sqrt{65}e^t$
