Answer: Carlos is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^5-250x^2
The first step is to factorize out 2x^2
2x^2(x^3-125)
This can be rewritten as
2x^2(x^3-5^3),
Recall, difference if cube (a^3-b^3)
= (a-b)(a^2 +ab + b^2)
from our equation,
a= x
b = 5.
So the difference of cubes will be
2x^2[(x-5) (x^2 + 5x + 5^2)]
=2x^2[(x-5) (x^2 + 5x + 25)]
Carlos followed these steps. So he is correct. Carlos is correct because he correctly factored the GCF, identified a and b, and applied the difference of cubes method.
Amber is incorrect because 125 is equal to b3, not b.
Bernie is incorrect because x2 is not the GCF of the polynomial. The GCF is 2x^2.
I am not sure but I think the answer is of second one.
Answer:
y - 8 = 3(x - 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with the basic point-slope form of the equation of a straight line:
y - k = m(x - h). Here the given point is (2, 8), so assign the value 2 to h and the value 8 to k, also the value 3 to m. Then:
y - 8 = 3(x - 2)
