Explain the process for factoring each of the following: a. x^2-25 b. 3x^2-12x-15 c. x^3+2x^2+3x+6

a. (x+5)(x-5)

b. 3(x+1)(x-5)

c. (x^2+3)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

a. x^2-25

The given expression can be factorized using the formula:

b. 3x^2-12x-15

We can see that 3 is common in all terms

=3(x^2-4x-5)

In order to make factors, the constant will be multiplied by the co-efficient of highest degree variable

So,

c. x^3+2x^2+3x+6

Combining the first and second pair of terms

in the opening of the question the word 'service' is associated only with the pretax value.

the closing part of the question asks: how much did she pay for the

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,
