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 : 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60 -1,-2,-3,-4,-5,-6,-10,-12,-15,-20,-30,-60 Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations. These factors pair up and multiply to . 1*(-60) = -60 2*(-30) = -60 3*(-20) = -60 4*(-15) = -60 5*(-12) = -60 6*(-10) = -60 (-1)*(60) = -60 (-2)*(30) = -60 (-3)*(20) = -60 (-4)*(15) = -60 (-5)*(12) = -60 (-6)*(10) = -60 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 -60 1+(-60)=-59 2 -30 2+(-30)=-28 3 -20 3+(-20)=-17 4 -15 4+(-15)=-11 5 -12 5+(-12)=-7 6 -10 6+(-10)=-4 -1 60 -1+60=59 -2 30 -2+30=28 -3 20 -3+20=17 -4 15 -4+15=11 -5 12 -5+12=7 -6 10 -6+10=4 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 -------------------------------------------------- So then factors further to =============================================================== Answer: So completely 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).

Linear-equations/539442: Use slope and y intercept to graph a line. y=2x-5 1 solutions Answer 353417 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2011-11-30 18:13:27 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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 2 and the run is 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 2 and over 1 So starting at , go up 2 units 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 If you need more help, email me at jim_thompson5910@hotmail.com Also, please consider visiting my website: http://www.freewebs.com/jimthompson5910/home.html and making a donation.

Equations/539186: Do the equations x = 4y +1 and x = 4y -1 have the same solution? 1 solutions Answer 353360 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2011-11-30 13:10:50 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = 4y +1 4y - 1 = 4y +1 -1 = 1 Since the last equation is false, this means that there are no solutions.

Vectors/539229: Find the magnitude and direction (in degrees) of the vector. v = 3i +√7j 1 solutions Answer 353359 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2011-11-30 13:08:09 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! If v = ai+bj, then ||v|| = sqrt(a^2+b^2) In this case, a = 3 and b = sqrt(7) ||v|| = sqrt(a^2+b^2) ||v|| = sqrt(3^2+(sqrt(7))^2) ||v|| = sqrt(9+7) ||v|| = sqrt(16) ||v|| = 4 So the magnitude of v is 4 To find the direction or angle, we use the idea that theta = arctan(b/a) theta = arctan(b/a) theta = arctan(sqrt(7)/3) theta = 41.409622 (note: this is approximate) So the direction is roughly 41.409622 degrees.

Equations/538903: Please help me factor I know that the first number in the bracket will probably have to be 9 or 3 but I'm not sure about how about the other numbers since 89 and 40 do not have a common multiple. Thanks! 1 solutions Answer 353279 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2011-11-29 21:51:28 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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 : 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,15,18,20,24,30,36,40,45,60,72,90,120,180,360 -1,-2,-3,-4,-5,-6,-8,-9,-10,-12,-15,-18,-20,-24,-30,-36,-40,-45,-60,-72,-90,-120,-180,-360 Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations. These factors pair up and multiply to . 1*360 = 360 2*180 = 360 3*120 = 360 4*90 = 360 5*72 = 360 6*60 = 360 8*45 = 360 9*40 = 360 10*36 = 360 12*30 = 360 15*24 = 360 18*20 = 360 (-1)*(-360) = 360 (-2)*(-180) = 360 (-3)*(-120) = 360 (-4)*(-90) = 360 (-5)*(-72) = 360 (-6)*(-60) = 360 (-8)*(-45) = 360 (-9)*(-40) = 360 (-10)*(-36) = 360 (-12)*(-30) = 360 (-15)*(-24) = 360 (-18)*(-20) = 360 Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient : First Number Second Number Sum 1 360 1+360=361 2 180 2+180=182 3 120 3+120=123 4 90 4+90=94 5 72 5+72=77 6 60 6+60=66 8 45 8+45=53 9 40 9+40=49 10 36 10+36=46 12 30 12+30=42 15 24 15+24=39 18 20 18+20=38 -1 -360 -1+(-360)=-361 -2 -180 -2+(-180)=-182 -3 -120 -3+(-120)=-123 -4 -90 -4+(-90)=-94 -5 -72 -5+(-72)=-77 -6 -60 -6+(-60)=-66 -8 -45 -8+(-45)=-53 -9 -40 -9+(-40)=-49 -10 -36 -10+(-36)=-46 -12 -30 -12+(-30)=-42 -15 -24 -15+(-24)=-39 -18 -20 -18+(-20)=-38 From the table, we can see that there are no pairs of numbers which add to . So cannot be factored. =============================================================== Answer: So doesn't factor at all (over the rational numbers). So is prime.
