Answer:

To be able to factor effectively we need positive prime factors; so we use the description polynomial to show an easier approach should numbers divide.

12 = (2) (2) (3)

We can compare that 2 as an integer is a prime factor, a prime factor is used as nothing else can divide into it other than 1 or itself.

A factor of polynomial P(x) is any polynomial which divides evenly into P(x). For example, x + 2 is a factor of the polynomial x2 – 4. The factorization of a polynomial is its representation as a product its factors. For example, the factorization of x2 – 4 is (x – 2)(x + 2).

Im confused khan academy 8th grade

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hi! so the question is asking what h is when you input -18 for x, right?

inputing in this question means to substitute, meaning that in this equation, -18 will take the place of x!

let's see what the equation looks like now
$h = 17 + \frac{-18}{6}$
easy as that!

now let's do the math :)

because of PEMDAS, remember to do the fraction (dividing) first!
$h = 17 + (-3)$

we can change that to --> h = 17 - 3

h = 14

let me know if you're still confused!

I 8. Classify 8 as a perfect square, a perfect cube, both, or neither.

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

It's a perfect cube, but not a perfect square.

Step-by-step explanation:

2^3 = 8, meaning 8 is a perfect cube. But since 2^2 = 4 and 3^2 = 9, and 8 is in between, 8 is not a perfect square.

I hope this helped.

Prepare a perpetual inventory record, using the FIFO inventory costing method, and determine the company's cost of goods sol

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The First-In, First-Out (FIFO) inventory costing method assumes that the inventory items ordered first are the first ones sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

The First-In, First-Out inventory costing method assumes that the inventory items ordered first are the first sold. This is ideal for goods that are highly perishable, for example fresh milk. Since no figures or dates are given, we will assume that the month is March 2019 and use any figures to make the example.

Date Item Quantity of stock Cost Price

01 Opening stock bought on Feb 28 10 100

05 Sale of 5 goods (cost is $10 each) (5) 50

15 Purchase of stock (20 goods at $20 each) 20 400

25 Sale of 15 goods (15) 250

(5 at $10 each & 10 at $20 each)

31 Closing Stock 10 200

(20 goods bought on 15th - 10 goods sold on 25th)

The quantity on hand at the end of the month is 10 units.

Total cost of goods on hand at end of the month = 10 units * $20 = 200.

Total cost of goods purchased during the month = $20 * 20 units = $400

Total cost of goods sold during the month = [($10 *5) + ($10 * 5)+ ($20 * 10)] = $200
