Answer:
(x + 2)(x² - 2x +4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of cubes factors as ...
(a³ +b³) = (a +b)(a² -ab +b²)
Here, you have a=x, b=2, so the factorization is ...
x³ +8 = (x +2)(x² -2x +4) . . . . . . matches the first selection
Answer:18
Step-by-step explanation:2(18)+3=1/2(18)+30
36+3=9+30
39=39
Answer:
The fourth answer choice is the correct one: 2(x - 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x²-18x+36/x-6 should be factored, as follows:
2(x²-9x+18) / (x-6) = 2(x - 3) (x - 6) / (x - 6)
Substituting x = 6 would result in division by zero and is thus not allowed.
Remembering this, we can reduce 2(x - 3) (x - 6) / (x - 6) to 2(x - 3) for x≠6.
