The correct question is; x² + 2x - 24

The other factor of x² + 2x - 24 asides (x+6) is; (x-4)

The expression given can be factorised as follows;

x² + 6x -4x - 24

x(x+6) -4(x+6)

(x+6) (x-4).

Consequently, the other factor of the expression is (x-4).

Can you see an easy way to work out the value of <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7B%201%5E3%20%2B%202%5E3%20%2B%203%5E

We have the sum of cubes identity

$a^3 + b^3 = (a + b) (a^2 - ab + b^2)$

and observing that 1 + 4 = 2 + 3, we have

$1^3 + 4^3 = (1 + 4) (1^2 - 4 + 4^2) = 5 \times 13$

and

$2^3 + 3^3 = (2 + 3) (2^2 - 6 + 3^2) = 5 \times 7$

Then

$\sqrt{1^3+2^3+3^3+4^3+5^3} = \sqrt{5\times13 + 5\times7 + 5\times5^2} = \sqrt{5 \times (20 + 25)} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \sqrt{5^2 \times (4 + 5)} = \sqrt{5^2\times9} = \sqrt{5^2\times3^2} = 5\times3 = \boxed{15}$

Alternatively, we have the well-known sum of cubes formula

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n i^3 = \frac{n^2(n+1)^2}4$

The sum under the square root is this sum with $n=5$ . Then

$1^3+2^3+3^3+4^3+5^3 = \dfrac{5^2\times6^2}4 = 225 = 15^2$

and so the square root again reduces to 15.

Which of these values are farthest from zero 0.75 2/3 and 0.25

leva [86]

.75 is farthest because 2/3 is .66 (infinitely) and .25 is smaller than both
