When factored completely, the expression 6x3 – 5x2 – 13x + 12 is equivalent to
a. (2 – 1)(2x - 3)(3x + 4)
b. (x + 1)(2x + 3)(3x + 4)
c. (x + 1)(2x − 3)(3x – 4)
d. (x - 1)(2x + 3)(3x – 4)

d. (x - 1)(2x + 3)(3x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x³ - 5x² - 13x + 12

6x³ + x² - 12x - 6x² - x + 12

x(6x² + x - 12) - 1(6x² + x - 12)

(x - 1)(6x² + x - 12)

(x - 1)(6x² + 9x - 8x - 12)

(x - 1)(3x(2x + 3) - 4(2x + 3))

(x - 1)(2x - 3)(3x - 4)

( x - 1 )( 2x + 3 )( 3x - 4 )

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer

, and

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
