Answer:

−5x(3x+2)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

-45x^3-60x^2-20x

Factor out 5.

5(−9x^3-12x^2-4x)

Consider −9x^3-12x^2-4x. Factor out x.

x(−9x^2−12x−4)

Consider −9x^2−12x−4 Factor the expression by grouping. First, the expression needs to be rewritten as −9x^2+ax+bx−4. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.

a+b=−12

ab=−9(−4)=36

Since ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. Since a+b is negative, a and b are both negative. List all such integer pairs that give product 36.

−1,−36

−2,−18

−3,−12

−4,−9

−6,−6

Calculate the sum for each pair.

−1−36=−37

−2−18=−20

−3−12=−15

−4−9=−13

−6−6=−12

The solution is the pair that gives sum −12.

a=−6

b=−6

Rewrite −9x^2−12x−4 as (−9x^2−6x)+(−6x−4).

(−9x^2−6x)+(−6x−4)

Factor out −3x in the first and −2 in the second group.

−3x(3x+2)−2(3x+2)

Factor out the common term 3x+2 by using distributive property.

(3x+2)(−3x−2)

Rewrite the complete factored expression.

5x(3x+2)(−3x−2)

Answer:

-5x(3x+2)²

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Factoring the given expression:</u>

-45x³ - 60x² - 20x =
-5x(9x² + 12x + 4) =
-5x(9x² + 6x + 6x + 4) =
-5x(3x(3x + 2) + 2(3x + 2))
-5x(3x + 2)(3x + 2)
or
-5x(3x+2)²

A _[blank 1]_ is a number whose only factors are 1 and itself. If a number has other factors besides 1 and itself, it is called

kykrilka [37]

Numbers whose only factors are 1 and itself is known as prime numbers , numbers whose factors besides 1 and itself are composite numbers, we can use the sieve of Eratosthenes to determine whether the number is prime or composite.

Given a paragraph in which there are blanks:

A _____ is a number whose only factors are 1 and itself. If a number has factors besides 1 and itself, it is called a _____. You can use divisibility rules or _______ to help you determine whether a number is prime or composite.

We are required to fill the blank with appropriate options.

We have to fill "prime numbers" in the first blank.

We have to fill "composite numbers" in the second blank.

We have to fill "the sieve of Eratosthenes" in the third blank.

Hence numbers whose only factors are 1 and itself is known as prime numbers , numbers whose factors besides 1 and itself are composite numbers, we can use the sieve of Eratosthenes to determine whether the number is prime or composite.

The Malcolms are taking a trip. Midville is 214 miles

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

642 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of Midville from their home = 214 miles

Walesburg is 3 times as far.

How far is Walesburg from their home?

Distance of Walesburg from their home = 3 × Distance of Midville from their home

= 3 × 214 miles

= 642 miles

Distance of Walesburg from their home = 642 miles

Polygon ABCD is plotted on a coordinate plane and then rotated 90° clockwise about point C to form polygon A′B′C′D′. Match each

horrorfan [7]

The vertices of ABCD after 90 degrees clockwise rotation about point C are: A' (0,6), B' (3,7), C' (4,6) and D' (4,3)

<h3>How to match the vertices of the polygon?</h3>

The image of the polygon ABCD is not given; however, the question can still be answered because the coordinates are known.

The vertices of polygon ABCD are given as:

A = (4, 6)

B = (5, 3)

C = (4, 2)

D = (1, 2)

The rule of rotation about point C is:

(x,y) = (a + b - y, x + b - a)

Where:

(a, b) = (4, 2) --- the point of rotation.

So, we have:

(x,y) = (4 + 2 - y, x + 4 - 2)

(x,y) = (6 - y, x + 2)

The above means that:

A' = (6 - 6, 4 + 2) = (0,6)

B' = (6 - 3, 5 + 2) = (3,7)

C' = (6 - 2, 4 + 2) = (4,6)

D' = (6 - 2, 1 + 2) = (4,3)

Hence, the image of the rotation and their vertices (i.e. coordinates) are:

A' = (0,6)

B' = (3,7)

C' = (4,6)

D' = (4,3)
