I'm assuming you want to factor. Start with the given expression. Factor out the GCF . Now let's try to factor the inner expression --------------------------------------------------------------- Looking at the expression , we can see that the first coefficient is , the second coefficient is , and the last term is . Now multiply the first coefficient by the last term to get . Now the question is: what two whole numbers multiply to (the previous product) and add to the second coefficient ? To find these two numbers, we need to list all of the factors of (the previous product). Factors of : 1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36 -1,-2,-3,-4,-6,-9,-12,-18,-36 Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations. These factors pair up and multiply to . 1*36 = 36 2*18 = 36 3*12 = 36 4*9 = 36 6*6 = 36 (-1)*(-36) = 36 (-2)*(-18) = 36 (-3)*(-12) = 36 (-4)*(-9) = 36 (-6)*(-6) = 36 Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient : First Number Second Number Sum 1 36 1+36=37 2 18 2+18=20 3 12 3+12=15 4 9 4+9=13 6 6 6+6=12 -1 -36 -1+(-36)=-37 -2 -18 -2+(-18)=-20 -3 -12 -3+(-12)=-15 -4 -9 -4+(-9)=-13 -6 -6 -6+(-6)=-12 From the table, we can see that the two numbers and add to (the middle coefficient). So the two numbers and both multiply to and add to Now replace the middle term with . Remember, and add to . So this shows us that . Replace the second term with . Group the terms into two pairs. Factor out the GCF from the first group. Factor out from the second group. The goal of this step is to make the terms in the second parenthesis equal to the terms in the first parenthesis. Combine like terms. Or factor out the common term Condense the terms. -------------------------------------------------- So then factors further to =============================================================== Answer: So completely factors to .

These factors pair up and multiply to . 1*36 = 36 2*18 = 36 3*12 = 36 4*9 = 36 6*6 = 36 (-1)*(-36) = 36 (-2)*(-18) = 36 (-3)*(-12) = 36 (-4)*(-9) = 36 (-6)*(-6) = 36 Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient : First Number Second Number Sum 1 36 1+36=37 2 18 2+18=20 3 12 3+12=15 4 9 4+9=13 6 6 6+6=12 -1 -36 -1+(-36)=-37 -2 -18 -2+(-18)=-20 -3 -12 -3+(-12)=-15 -4 -9 -4+(-9)=-13 -6 -6 -6+(-6)=-12 From the table, we can see that the two numbers and add to (the middle coefficient). So the two numbers and both multiply to and add to Now replace the middle term with . Remember, and add to . So this shows us that . Replace the second term with . Group the terms into two pairs. Factor out the GCF from the first group. Factor out from the second group. The goal of this step is to make the terms in the second parenthesis equal to the terms in the first parenthesis. Combine like terms. Or factor out the common term =============================================================== Answer: So factors to . In other words, . Note: you can check the answer by expanding to get or by graphing the original expression and the answer (the two graphs should be identical).

Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the Inverse of a 2x2 Matrix To find the inverse of the matrix , we can follow these steps: Step 1) Find the determinant The determinant of is . So this means that Since the determinant is equal to zero, this means that no inverse exists. Remember, the inverse of is . If , then a division by zero occurs, which is NOT allowed. So we can stop here. ================================================================= Answer: So the inverse of does NOT exist since (ie the determinant is 0).

sets-and-operations/391742: Is A=(a,b,c,d) and B=(a,c), find a set C such that A intersection C = B. Is C unique? :) 1 solutions Answer 277987 by jim_thompson5910(28476)   on 2011-01-07 17:55:01 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The only requirements of set C to make is that set C must have the elements 'a' and 'c' (since set A has these two elements as well). Other than that, set C can have ANYTHING else. So for instance, one such set could be C = {a,b,c,e} or it could be C = {a,c,r,q} or it could be C = {a,b,c,w,x,y,z} And it goes on. It doesn't matter as long as 'a' and 'c' are in there. So this means that C is NOT unique. If you need more help, email me at jim_thompson5910@hotmail.com Also, feel free to check out my tutoring website Jim
