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

the area of aron's favorite poster is 6 square feet. the length of the poster is 3 feet. find the width of the poster​
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The width is 2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the area of a rectangle is

A = l*w

The area is 6 and the length is 3

6 = 3*w

Divide each side by 3

6/3 = 3w/3

2 =w

The width is 2 ft

Suppose X has a continuous uniform distribution over the interval [1.3, 6.2]. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

(a) 3.75

(b) 2.00083

(c) 0.4898

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that X has a continuous uniform distribution over the interval [1.3, 6.2].

(a)

Compute the mean of X as follows:

\mu_{X}=\frac{a+b}{2}=\frac{1.3+6.2}{2}=3.75

(b)

Compute the variance of X as follows:

\sigm^{2}_{X}=\frac{(b-a)^{2}}{12}=\frac{(6.2-1.3)^{2}}{12}=2.00083

(c)

Compute the value of P(X < 3.7) as follows:

P(X < 3.7)=\int\limits^{3.7}_{1.3}{\frac{1}{6.2-1.3}}\, dx\\\\=\frac{1}{4.9}\times [x]^{3.7}_{1.3}\\\\=\frac{3.7-1.3}{4.9}\\\\\approx 0.4898

Thus, the value of P(X < 3.7)  is 0.4898.
