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 : 1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,27,36,48,54,72,108,144,216,432 -1,-2,-3,-4,-6,-8,-9,-12,-16,-18,-24,-27,-36,-48,-54,-72,-108,-144,-216,-432 Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations. These factors pair up and multiply to . 1*(-432) = -432 2*(-216) = -432 3*(-144) = -432 4*(-108) = -432 6*(-72) = -432 8*(-54) = -432 9*(-48) = -432 12*(-36) = -432 16*(-27) = -432 18*(-24) = -432 (-1)*(432) = -432 (-2)*(216) = -432 (-3)*(144) = -432 (-4)*(108) = -432 (-6)*(72) = -432 (-8)*(54) = -432 (-9)*(48) = -432 (-12)*(36) = -432 (-16)*(27) = -432 (-18)*(24) = -432 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 -432 1+(-432)=-431 2 -216 2+(-216)=-214 3 -144 3+(-144)=-141 4 -108 4+(-108)=-104 6 -72 6+(-72)=-66 8 -54 8+(-54)=-46 9 -48 9+(-48)=-39 12 -36 12+(-36)=-24 16 -27 16+(-27)=-11 18 -24 18+(-24)=-6 -1 432 -1+432=431 -2 216 -2+216=214 -3 144 -3+144=141 -4 108 -4+108=104 -6 72 -6+72=66 -8 54 -8+54=46 -9 48 -9+48=39 -12 36 -12+36=24 -16 27 -16+27=11 -18 24 -18+24=6 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).

Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/718760: How would this look like in a descending order? I am having trouble with it. 11a6– 8a – 3 +12a3 1 solutions Answer 441034 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2013-02-25 15:48:11 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! When they say decreasing order, they just want the exponents to be sorted from largest to smallest. So 6 is the largest exponent here and it goes first. 3 is the next largest exponent, so it goes next. One is the next largest (the exponent for ), so that goes next. Finally, the last term is -3 since it has an exponent of 0 (-3 = -3a^0) So the answer is

Triangles/718758: can triangle can be formed by three segments with the lengths of 27 inches, 31 inches, and 48 inches? 1 solutions Answer 441032 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2013-02-25 15:46:01 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Notice how adding any two sides always results in a sum that's larger than the third side (that you didn't add). So this shows you that a triangle is possible here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's where a triangle isn't possible: side lengths of 1, 2, 18 Notice how 1+2 = 3 but that's not larger than 18, so the side lengths come up short making this triangle not possible

Miscellaneous_Word_Problems/718695: 500 balls and 250 balls what would be the ratio 1 solutions Answer 441031 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2013-02-25 15:44:17 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! If it's 500 red balls to 250 green balls (for instance), then the ratio of red to green is 500:250 which reduces to 2:1 So the ratio of red balls to green balls is 2:1

Permutations/718747: There are 36 dogs entered in a show where there will be a first, second, and third place award. How many possiblites are there or these awards? 1 solutions Answer 441029 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2013-02-25 15:43:20 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 36*35*34 = 42,840 different ways to award these awards. Alternatively, you can compute 36 P 3 to get the same answer.

Looking at we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form where the slope is and the y-intercept is Since this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis So we have one point Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means Also, because the slope is , this means: which shows us that the rise is 1 and the run is 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 1 and over 1 So starting at , go up 1 unit and to the right 1 unit to get to the next point Now draw a line through these points to graph So this is the graph of through the points and

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 : 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30 -1,-2,-3,-5,-6,-10,-15,-30 Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations. These factors pair up and multiply to . 1*30 = 30 2*15 = 30 3*10 = 30 5*6 = 30 (-1)*(-30) = 30 (-2)*(-15) = 30 (-3)*(-10) = 30 (-5)*(-6) = 30 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 30 1+30=31 2 15 2+15=17 3 10 3+10=13 5 6 5+6=11 -1 -30 -1+(-30)=-31 -2 -15 -2+(-15)=-17 -3 -10 -3+(-10)=-13 -5 -6 -5+(-6)=-11 From the table, we can see that the two numbers and add to (the middle coefficient).

Equations/717737: If f(x)=x/(x-3) and g(x)=2x-1, find (f-g)(x). My choices are: A. (-2x^2+8x-3)/(x-3) B. (-2x^2+6x+1)/(x-3) C. (-2x^2+5x-3)/(x-3) D. (2x^2+6x+3)/(x-3) If I had to guess I would say either A or C, but I have no idea. Thank you for your help! 1 solutions Answer 440469 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2013-02-22 20:15:45 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! (f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) (f-g)(x) = x/(x-3) - (2x - 1) (f-g)(x) = x/(x-3) - (2x - 1)(x-3)/(x-3) (f-g)(x) = (x- (2x - 1)(x-3))/(x-3) (f-g)(x) = (x- (2x^2 - 6x - x + 3))/(x-3) (f-g)(x) = (x- (2x^2 - 7x + 3))/(x-3) (f-g)(x) = (x- 2x^2 + 7x - 3)/(x-3) (f-g)(x) = (-2x^2 + 8x - 3)/(x-3) So the answer is choice A

Coordinate-system/717712: Determine the missing coordinate for the point (x,(1/4))on the unit circle that in in quadrant II. 1 solutions Answer 440424 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2013-02-22 16:10:31 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! We're in quadrant II, so x < 0 x^2 + y^2 = 1 x^2 + (1/4)^2 = 1 x^2 + 1/16 = 1 x^2 = 1 - 1/16 x^2 = 16/16 - 1/16 x^2 = 15/16 x = -sqrt(15/16)... remember, x < 0 x = -sqrt(15)/sqrt(16) x = -sqrt(15)/4 So

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 -1 Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations. These factors pair up and multiply to . 1*1 = 1 (-1)*(-1) = 1 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 1 1+1=2 -1 -1 -1+(-1)=-2 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. =============================================================== 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).
