Please Help!! Part A: Factor 3x2y2 - 2xy2 - 8y2. Show your work. (3 points) Part B: Factor x2 + 10x + 25. Show your work. (3 points) Part C: Factor x2 - 36. Show your work. (2 points) Part D: Do the polynomials in parts A, B, and C have a common factor? Explain your answer. (2 points)
I already got part A
I only need part b, c and d
Ahem well i'll contribute to B: \[x^2+10x+25=(x+5)(x+5)=(x+5)^2\]
Oh and i'll do C as well: anything in the form of \((x^2-a^2)\) where a is an integer is factored as \((x+a)(x-a)\) \[x^2-36=x^2-(6)^2=(x+6)(x-6)\]
that's \[x^2\] ? i thought it was a 2x v.v
Thats it for b and c?
@KeithAfasCalcLover
I need part D, Anyone?
Please I need help..
Yeah thats all there is! Umm...no there is no common factor in all of them...
ok thank you so much! @KeithAfasCalcLover would you help me with one more?
Linda is studying the sale of a particular brand of cereals from the year 1993 to 2004. She writes the following function to model the sale of the cereal S(t), in million dollars, after t years: S(t) = t2 + 5t + 52 Part A: What does the y-intercept of the graph of the function represent? (4 points) Part B: What is the reasonable domain of the graph of the function? (3 points) Part C: What is the average rate of change of the sale of the cereal from the first year to the fourth year? Show your work. (3 points)
So we know "to find the y-intercept, set t to zero" Therefore, what they are asking is for part a is when t=0 (or at zero seconds) what is the sale of the cereal. And in this case, its 52. So when they started this graph, the cereal was selling 52,000,000 dollars. Now b would be what is the domain. |dw:1409182657749:dw| where the parabola equals zero would be your domain. So find between what x values \(t^2+5t+52\)=0 and thats your answer. C uses the formula: The average rate of change, m, of \(f(x)\) from x=a to b is: \[m=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\]
So what is the answer for part A?
I didnt really understand what you wrote... @KeithAfasCalcLover
I understood a little tho
Offline... Thanx anyway
