Algebra.Com's Answer #834647 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! factor out df to get: \n" ); document.write( "16d^3f - 64d^2f + 48df = df * (16d^2 - 64d + 48) \n" ); document.write( "factor out 16 to get: \n" ); document.write( "16df * (d^2 - 4d + 3) \n" ); document.write( "factor d^2 - 4d + 3 to get: \n" ); document.write( "16df * (d-3) * d-1) \n" ); document.write( "i believe that will be your answer. \n" ); document.write( "to confirm the factoring is correct, choose a random value of d and a random value of f and evaluate the original equation and the simplified equation. \n" ); document.write( "when i chose d = 5 and f = 3. \n" ); document.write( "the original equation becomes: \n" ); document.write( "16 * 5^3 * 3 - 64 * 5^2 * 3 + 48 * 5 * 3 = 1920 \n" ); document.write( "the simplified equation becomes: \n" ); document.write( "16 * 5 * 3 * 2 * 4 = 1920 \n" ); document.write( "you get the same answer, indicating that the factorization was done correctly.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
