Answer: 2x(49x^2 - 9)

Steps:

First, find the GCF

GCF= 2x

Next, factor it out

2x(49x^2 - 9)

This is the furthest you can factor it

Answer:

2x(7x - 3)(7x +3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find common factors between the 2 numbers:

98x^3 - 18x

2x(49x^2 - 9)

now find what numbers multiplied together is 49, and find what numbers added together equals 0 and the product is 3, 7 times 7 is 49 and 3(-3) = 9 while 3 - 3 = 0 so:

2x(7x - 3)(7x +3)

Answer:

19.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

When calculating distances using perpendicular angles, we use trig functions such as Sin, Cos, and Tan.

Sine is defined in a perpendicular triangle as the ratio of the opposite side to the angle over the hypotenuse.
Cosine is defined in a perpendicular triangle as the ratio of the adjacent side to the angle over the hypotenuse.
Tangent is defined in a perpendicular triangle as the ratio of the opposite side over the adjacent side.

Because our angle and know side value are across from each other and we need to know the hypotenuse, we chose to use Sine.

We set up the equation $sin (68) = \frac{18}{h}$ .

We isolate h by multiplying h across the equal sign and dividing sin (68) across as well. $sin (68) = \frac{18}{h}\\hsin (68) = \frac{18}{h}*h\\hsin (68) = 18\\\frac{hsin (68)}{sin (68)} =\frac{18}{sin (68)} \\$
