Answer:

$\boxed{\textsf{ The factorised form is \textbf{(4x+1)(3x+1)}.}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic polynomial is given to us and we need to find its factorised form . The given quadratic polynomial is ,

$\sf\implies p(x)= 12x^2+7x+1$

And this equation is similar to the equation in ax² + bx + c form . So in order to factorise it .

Step 1: Multiply the coefficient of x² with the constant term .

Here the coefficient of x² is 12 and the constant term is 1 . So on multiplying them we get 12*1= 12 .

Step 2: Look out for the possible factors of the number .

Here the obtained number is 12 . So the possible factors of 12 is

1 *12
-1*-12
2*6
-2*-6
4*3
-4*-3

Step3: Choose the factor whose sum is equal to the coefficient of the middle term .

Here we can see that the middle term is 7 . And the sum of 4 and 3 is equal to 7 . Hence here we will break 7x as 4x + 3x .

Step 4: After proper arrangements take out the common term and then factorise.

After suitable rearrangment we get ,

$\sf\implies p(x)= 12x^2+4x+3x+1 \\\\\sf\implies p(x)= 4x(3x+1)+1(3x+1) \\\\\implies\boxed{\red{\sf p(x)= (4x+1)(3x+1)}}$

Explain how to multiply the following whole numbers 21 x 14

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

$\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}$

________

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{0}&8&4\\ +&\textbf{2}&1&0\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&9&4\end{matrix}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$21\:\times \:14$

Line up the numbers

$\begin{matrix}\space\space&2&1\\ \times \:&1&4\end{matrix}$

Multiply the top number by the bottom number one digit at a time starting with the ones digit left(from right to left right)

Multiply the top number by the bolded digit of the bottom number

$\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}$

Multiply the bold numbers: 1×4=4

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&2&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&4\end{matrix}}$

Multiply the bold numbers: 2×4=8

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&1\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&8&4\end{matrix}}$

Multiply the top number by the bolded digit of the bottom number

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&\textbf{1}&4\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&8&4\end{matrix}}$

Multiply the bold numbers: 1×1=1

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&2&\textbf{1}\\ \space\space&\times \:&\textbf{1}&4\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&8&4\\ \space\space&\space\space&1&\space\space\end{matrix}}$

Multiply the bold numbers: 2×1=2

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&\textbf{2}&1\\ \space\space&\times \:&\textbf{1}&4\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&8&4\\ \space\space&2&1&\space\space\end{matrix}}$

Add the rows to get the answer. For simplicity, fill in trailing zeros.

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&2&1\\ \space\space&\times \:&1&4\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&0&8&4\\ \space\space&2&1&0\end{matrix}}$

adding portion

$\begin{matrix}\space\space&0&8&4\\ +&2&1&0\end{matrix}$

Add the digits of the right-most column: 4+0=4

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&0&8&\textbf{4}\\ +&2&1&\textbf{0}\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&\space\space&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}}$

Add the digits of the right-most column: 8+1=9

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&0&\textbf{8}&4\\ +&2&\textbf{1}&0\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&\textbf{9}&4\end{matrix}}$

Add the digits of the right-most column: 0+2=2

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{0}&8&4\\ +&\textbf{2}&1&0\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&9&4\end{matrix}}$

Therefore,

$\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}$

________

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{0}&8&4\\ +&\textbf{2}&1&0\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&9&4\end{matrix}}$

Solve 7x − 2y = −3 14x + y = 14

Sauron [17]

7x - 2y = -3

14x + y = 14
14x -14x + y = 14-14x
Y = 14 - 14x

7x -2y = -3
7x - 2(14 - 14x) = -3
7x -28 + 28x = -3
7x + 28x - 28 = -3
35x - 28 = -3
35x - 28 + 28 = -3 + 28
35x = 25
35x/35 = 25/35
X = 25/35 = 5/7.

Y = 14 - 14x
Y = 14 - 14(5/7)
Y = 14 - 10
Y = 4.

The solution P(5/7,4).
