Question

Factor fully: 3-48x^2

Answer 1

=3(1-16x^2)=3(1-4x)(1+4x)

Answer 2

Difference of the squares

Answer 3

\[12m^{2}-36m+27\]

Answer 4

plz help

Answer 5

what have you tried?

Answer 6

do 12 36 and 27 have any factors in common?

Answer 7

Nope (JK)

Answer 8

yeah so far i have \[3(4m^{2}-12m+9)\]

Answer 9

3-48x^2 = 3 (1 - 16x^2)
= 3 [ 1 - (4x)^2 ] = 3 [ (1 - 4x) ( 1+ 4x) ]

Answer 10

good; now from there I multiply first and last (4*9) to get 36

the + at the end tells me the factors have the same sign; and the - in the middle tells me they are both negative

Answer 11

3(x-?/4)(x-??/4)

what factors of 36 add up to get 12?

Answer 12

nenad you can always enclose your answers withing \.[ \.] (without dots) to get a beautiful latex effect :)

Example:

3(1-16x^2)=3(1-4x)(1+4x)

compared to :

\[ 3(1-16x^2)=3(1-4x)(1+4x) \]

Answer 13

@FoolsForMath someone already answer it. Lol

Answer 14

6 and 6

Answer 15

x = 3/4 , tinydancer

Answer 16

@Hershey_Kisses: I was addressing a different issue.

Answer 17

right :)

1 36
2 18
4 9

3 12
6 6 .... 6+6 = 12 :) lets use those

3 (x-6/4) (x-6/4) reduce the fractions

3 (x-3/2) (x-3/2) and stick the denom in front


3 (2x-3) (2x-3) and the rest is just making it look better

Answer 18

if this method doesnt work; that means we eighet got complex issues, or fractions to deal with

Answer 19

eighet is the universal typo for either lol

Answer 20

awesome thanks :)
