Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
Given
2k - 6k² + 4k³ ← factor out 2k from each term
= 2k(1 - 3k + 2k²)
To factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the product of the constant term ( 1) and the coefficient of the k² term (+ 2) which sum to give the coefficient of the k- term (- 3)
The factors are - 1 and - 2
Use these factors to split the k- term
1 - k - 2k + 2k² ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
1(1 - k) - 2k(1 - k) ← factor out (1 - k) from each term
= (1 - k)(1 - 2k)
1 - 3k + 2k² = (1 - k)(1 - 2k) and
2k - 6k² + 4k³ = 2k(1 - k)(1 - 2k)
(b)
Given
2ax - 4ay + 3bx - 6by ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 2a(x - 2y) + 3b(x - 2y) ← factor out (x - 2y) from each term
= (x - 2y)(2a + 3b)
Answer:
The dimensions are:
by 
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the rectangle is given as

The factored form of this quadratic trinomial gives the dimensions of the rectangle.
We factor 3 first to obtain;

We split the middle term to get;

We factor within the parenthesis to get;

We factor further to get;

The dimensions are:
by 
Then the perimeter will be

Answer:
Change per week: $20
Starting amount of money: $550
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given equation</u>:

where:
- x = number of weeks
- y = total account balance
<u>Change per week</u>
As the variable x represents the number of weeks, its coefficient represents the change per week in the amount of money.
Therefore, the change per week in the amount of money in the account is $20.
<u>Initial Balance</u>
The starting amount of money in the account (initial balance) will be the value of y when x = 0:

Therefore, the starting amount of money in the account is $550.
The equation you can use to solve the problem is;
50/30 = 300/x
Next Cross Multiply
50x = 9000
x = 9000/50
x = 180
The building's shadow is 180 feet tall
