How to factor polynomials

Mathematics
1 answer:
avanturin [10]4 years ago
8 0
To factor polynomials, you have to find the greatest common factor.

For example:
4x2 + 12x
(4 x squared + 12x)

We know that 2 goes into 4 and 12, but there is a higher common factor of 4 that goes into both. You want to choose the highest/greatest common factor.

To factor out 4, you are also factoring out an x because there is an x in each too.

=4x(x + 3)

Another example:
= 5x3 + 10x2 + 15x
(5 x cubed + 10 x squared + 15)
= 5x(x2 + 2x + 3)

I hope this makes sense!

A number consist of 2 digits whose sum is 8, If 8 is subtracted from the number, the digits interchange their place. The number
Novay_Z [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the two digit number is 10x + y, where x is the first digit and y is the second digit.

The sum of the digits is 8:

x + y = 8

If 8 is subtracted from the number, the digits switch place.

10x + y − 8 = 10y + x

Simplify the second equation:

9x − 8 = 9y

Substitute from the first equation.

y = 8 − x

9x − 8 = 9 (8 − x)

9x − 8 = 72 − 9x

18x = 80

x = 4.444

There's a problem.  x isn't an integer.  Are you sure you copied the problem correctly?  Perhaps you meant if 18 is subtracted from the number, the digits switch place.

9x − 18 = 9 (8 − x)

9x − 18 = 72 − 9x

18x = 90

x = 5

y = 8 − x

y = 3

So the number is 53.

You have to spend money to make money ! You purchase a mix of newspaper ads and online ads. Each newspaper ad cost $18.50 and ea
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

You buy six newspaper ads & eighteen social media ads.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we change ads into variables to be more easier to calculate :

Let newspaper = x

Let social media = y

Second, make this variables into an equation, given that you purchase a total of 24 ads :

x + y = 24 (first equation)

Next, given that x = $18.50 & y = $26.50 & spent a total of $588 so you can make another equation :

18.50x + 26.50y = 588 (second equation)

Now, solve this simultaneous equation using elimination or substitution (depends on you) :

substitution =>

x + y = 24 ----------(1)

18.50x + 26.50y = 588 ---------(2)

(1)=> y = 24 - x ------(3)

(3)=>(2) 18.5x + 26.5(24-x) = 588

18.5x + 636 - 26.5x = 588

-8x = -48

x = 6

sub x=6 into(3)

(3)=> y = 24 - 6

= 18

newspaper = x

= 6

social media = y

= 18
