The answer is A
1 1/2 *2 *1 1/2 = 4.5 or 4 1/2
Answer:
(x+2) (x+3) (x-5)
Step-by-step explanation:
x³-19x-30 = (x+2) (x²+ax-15) ... x³=x*(1*x²) while -30= (2)*(-15)
x³ +<u> 0</u>*x² - 19x -30 = x³ + (<u>2+a</u>)x² + (2a-15)x -30
2+a = 0
a = -2
x³-19x-30 = (x+2) (x²-2x-15) = (x+2) (x+3) (x-5)
I've actually just learned this. We would set up the proportion as X/9=36/X so after we cross multiply we get x^2=324. Then we find the square root of both sides to simplify. And using my calculator the square root of x^2 is just x. And the square root of 324 is 18. So the final answer is x=18 or the geometric mean is 18.
