Step-by-step Answer:

Step 1:

Extract factor(s) common to all terms.

In this case, the HCF is 3, so the expression is written

-12x^2+45x+12 = -3(4x^2-15x-4)

The negative sign was also exrracted to give a positive leading coefficient, which is easier to work with.

Step 2, group the coefficient in such a way that there is a common factor.

Leaving the factor -4 for the moment, and concentrate on the coefficients in parentheses, write the original expression as

4x^2 - 15x -4

= 4x^2 -16x

+ x -4

= 4x*(x-4) + 1*(x-4)

extract (x-4) as a common factor

= (x-4)(4x+1)

Step 3:

Combine all the factors to get

-3(x-4)(4x+1)

=3(4-x)(4x+1)

as the complete factoring of the given expression.

Answer:

$4 x^{\frac{11}{10}} \cdot y^{\frac{17}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression: $4 \sqrt[5]{x^{3}} \cdot y^{4} \cdot \sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt[3]{y^{5}}$

Step 1: Change radical to fractional exponent.

Formula for fractional exponent: $\sqrt[n]{a}=a^{\frac{1}{n}}$

The power to which the base is raised becomes the numerator and the root becomes the denominator.

$\Rightarrow 4 x^{\frac{3}{5}} \cdot y^{4} \cdot x^{\frac{1}{2}} \cdot y^{\frac{5}{3}}$

Step 2: Apply law of exponent for a product $a^{m} \times a^{n}=a^{m+n}$

Multiply powers with same base.

$\Rightarrow 4 x^{\frac{3}{5}+\frac{1}{2}} \cdot y^{4+\frac{5}{8}}$

Take LCM for the fractions in the power.

$\Rightarrow 4 x^{\frac{6}{10}+\frac{5}{10}} \cdot y^{\frac{12}{3}+\frac{5}{3}}$

$\Rightarrow 4 x^{\frac{11}{10}} \cdot y^{\frac{17}{3}}$

Hence the simplified form of $4 \sqrt[5]{x^{3}} \cdot y^{4} \cdot \sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt[3]{y^{5}} \text { is } 4 x^{\frac{11}{10}} \cdot y^{\frac{17}{3}}$ .

Peter spends $75 for a video game and a CD. The CD costs $15. The cost of the CD is what percent of the money spent on the game

qwelly [4]

75/15 is 5, so 15 would be 20%
because 15 is a fifth or 75

Find the length of the segment. please help

maksim [4K]

Answer:

$\sqrt{29}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula!

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

If we plug in the coordinates:

$d=\sqrt{(3-(-2))^2+(4-2)^2} \\d=\sqrt{25+4}\\ d=\sqrt{29}$

That's our answer!
