Question

Can someone please help on number 20? WILL MARK YOU AS BRAINIEST. (can you also show how you do the problem?) :(

Answer 1

Answer:

x =(22-√196)/6=(11-7)/3= 1.333

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x2 -  22x) +  24  = 0

The first term is,  3x2  its coefficient is  3 .

The middle term is,  -22x  its coefficient is  -22 .

The last term, "the constant", is  +24

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   3 • 24 = 72

Step-2 : Find two factors of  72  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -22 .

     -72    +    -1    =    -73

     -36    +    -2    =    -38

     -24    +    -3    =    -27

     -18    +    -4    =    -22    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -18  and  -4

                    3x2 - 18x - 4x - 24

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   3x • (x-6)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   4 • (x-6)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (3x-4)  •  (x-6)

            Which is the desired factorization

Equation at the end of step 2:

 (x - 6) • (3x - 4)  = 0

STEP 3:

Theory - Roots of a product

3.1    A product of several terms equals zero.

When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.

We shall now solve each term = 0 separately

In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product

Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.
