Given:
five times a number = 5x
decreased by 8 = 5x - 8
is at most 10 = maximum is 10 so less than or equal to 10
more than twice the number = greater than 2x.
2x < 5x - 8 <u><</u> 10
5x - 8 <u><</u> 10
5x - 8 > 2x
****
5x - 8 <u><</u> 10 if x = 3.60 then 2x < 5x-8 <u>< </u>10
+ 8 +8 2(3.6) < 5(3.6) - 8 <u><</u> 10
5x <u><</u> 18 7.2 < 10 <u><</u> 10
÷5 ÷5
x <u><</u> 3.60
5x - 8 > 2x x > 2.67; if x = 3
+8 + 8 2x < 5x - 8 <u>< </u>10
5x > 2x + 8 2(3) < 5(3) - 8 <u>< </u>10
-2x -2x 6 < 7 <u>< </u>10
3x > 8
÷3 ÷3
x > 2.67
The factored form of the expression is (x^2+2)(6x^2-5).
We have given the expression 6x^4 – 5x^2 + 12x^2 – 10
<h3>What is the factor of a polynomial?</h3>
A factor of polynomial P(x) is any polynomial that divides evenly into P(x)
Factoring by grouping
Given the expression 6x^4 – 5x^2 + 12x^2 – 10
Group the terms to have
(6x^4 – 5x^2) + (12x^2 – 10)
Factor out the common values
x^2(6x^2-5)+2(6x^2 - 5)
(x^2+2)(6x^2-5)
Therefore the factored form of the expression is
(x^2+2)(6x^2-5).
