PLEASE HELP WITH FACTORING? (worksheet attached)
I don't understand anything except for #5
Number 6: \[2x ^{2}-2x+10\]
could you please show the steps?
Number 7: The domain is all real numbers.
yeah sure.. gimme a sec
okay so for #6 you start with 2f(x) It's easy to take things one step at a time: f(x)= x^2+2x-1 ^ now that and multiply it by 2: 2(x^2+2x-1) and you get: 2x^2+4x-2 <-- 2f(x) Now you move onto 3g(x): g(x)=2x-4 ^ multiply that by three: 3(2x-4) and you get: 6x-12 <--3g(x) now you take 2f(x) and subtract 3g(x) from it: 2x^2+4x-2-(6x-12) you distribute the negative sign first: 2x^2+4x-2-6x+12 and now you combine like terms: 2x^2-2x+10
For number 7: we need to find out what f(g(x)) g(x): 7x+6 ^ now take that and plug it into f(x): 3(7x+6)+2 and you distribute the 3 in front of the parenthesis: 21x+18+2 now add up the like terms: 21x+20 so we can say that f(g(x))=21x+20 which is a linear equation... and so it's domain is all real numbers :)
You there?
Yeah sorry I was working it out thank you so much!
np :) do you need my help with 8,9, and 10? or do you want to try them out yourself?
I can check your answers after your done if you want :)
I think ill try it out myself first but there was one on the other side i have spent so much time on and still can't get: Solve and check for extraneous solutions: \[6x=\sqrt{24+12x}\]
I get confused in the factoring
and thank you:)
okay, well first off: you can simplify the right side: \[6x=\sqrt{4(6+3x)}\] you can take the four out of the radical: \[6x=2\sqrt{6+3x}\] now divide both sides by 2: \[3x=\sqrt{6+3x}\] Now, you can get rid of the radical, by squaring both sides: \[9x ^{2}=6+3x\] Now, move everything on the right to the left (subtract both sides by 6+3x): \[9x^2-3x-6\] now you can factor: \[(9x+6)(x-1)\] Now take the (9x+6) and the (x-1) and "separate them" set each equal to 0: \[9x+6=0\] and \[x-1=0\] For the first one subtract 6 from sides and divide by 9: you get \[x=-2/3\] for the second one, add one to both sides: \[x=1\] now we can say that x=-2/3 and 1
hope that helps :)
thank you very much i am about halfway through but need to do something for 15 min with family so brb:)
hahah np :)
How do you get from the 9x to the 3x by factoring?
sorry not the 3x but the step after 9x^2-3x-2
