Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 5x-x² = x(5 - x).

b) x²-6x-27 = (x - 9)(x + 3).

c) x²+x-56 = (x - 7)(x + 8).

d) x³+8 = (x + 2)(x^2 - 2x + 4)

e) 3x⁴-54t = 3(x^4 - 18t)

f) x²+3x-10 = (x - 2)(x + 5)

g) 2(x⁴+x³-12x²) = 2x^2(x + 4)(x - 3)

h) 20(x³-1) = 20(x - 1)(x^2 + x + 1)

Algebra 2, please help! thank you

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

-2pi/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2 cos 3(x + 2π∕3) +1

y = A sin(B(x + C)) + D

amplitude is A

period is 2π/B

phase shift is C (positive is to the left)

vertical shift is D

We have a shift to the left of 2 pi /3

Show that 2x +1 is a factor of 2x3 +5x2+4x+1 and factories completely

larisa [96]

$\text{According to the factor theorem, if f(b) = 0, then x-b is a factor of f(x).}\\\\\text{Given that,}\\\\f(x) = 2x^3 +5x^2 +4x +1 \\\\f\left(-\dfrac 12 \right) = 2\left( - \dfrac 12 \right)^3 +5 \left( - \dfrac 12 \right)^2 +4 \left( - \dfrac 12 \right) +1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~=-2 \cdot \dfrac 18 + 5 \cdot \dfrac 14 -2 +1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac 54 -\dfrac14 -1\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac 44 -1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=1-1\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=0\\\\\text{So,}~ 2x +1 ~ \text{is a factor of f(x).}$

$\text{Now,}\\\\f(x) = 2x^3 +5x^2 +4x +1 \\\\~~~~~~=2x^3+x^2 +2x^2 +2x +2x+1\\\\~~~~~~=x^2(2x+1) +2x(2x+1) + (2x+1)\\\\~~~~~~=(2x+1)(x^2 +2x +1)\\\\~~~~~~=(2x+1)(x+1)^2$
