Factor the following:
2 x^3 + x^2 - 18 x - 9
Factor terms by grouping. 2 x^3 + x^2 - 18 x - 9 = (2 x^3 + x^2) + (-18 x - 9) = x^2 (2 x + 1) - 9 (2 x + 1):
x^2 (2 x + 1) - 9 (2 x + 1)
Factor 2 x + 1 from x^2 (2 x + 1) - 9 (2 x + 1):
(2 x + 1) (x^2 - 9)
x^2 - 9 = x^2 - 3^2:
(2 x + 1) (x^2 - 3^2)
Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 3^2 = (x - 3) (x + 3):
Answer: (x - 3) (x + 3) (2 x + 1) thus the Answer is C.
Answer:
(0,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm really not sure but I'm pretty positive that this is the answer if not than my bad
It's B, I'm doing my online school assignment and this was the correct answer.
Answer:
no solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
10x+2y=42
5x+y=20
Multiply the second equation by -2 to use elimination
-2(5x+y)=20*-2
-10x -2y = -40
Add this to the first equation
10x+2y=42
-10x -2y = -40
--------------------------
0 = 2
This is never true. This means there are no solutions
