Finn removes the plug from a trough to drain the water. the volume, in gallons, in the trough after it has been unplugged can be modeled by the expression 12x2 −13x 3, where x is the time in minutes. choose the appropriate form of the expression that would reveal the time in minutes when the trough is empty. 12(0)2 − 13(0) 3 (3x − 1)(4x − 3) 12(x − 3)2 − 1 12(x − 1)2 − 3

Sagot :

The given expression [tex]\rm 12x^2-13x+3[/tex]equivalent to (3x - 1)(4x - 3) option second is correct.

What is a quadratic expression?

A quadratic expression is a second-degree algebraic expression represented by the:

[tex]\rm f(x)=ax^2+bx+c[/tex] ........(1)

Where a, b, and c are the constants and  

We have the quadratic expression:

[tex]\rm f(x)=12x^2-13x+3[/tex]

[tex]\rm f(x)=12x^2-9x-4x+3[/tex]  (we can write -13x as a sum of -9x and -4x)

After taking common term, we get:

[tex]\rm f(x)=3x(4x-3)-(4x-3)[/tex]

[tex]\rm f(x)=(4x-3)(3x-1)[/tex]  or

[tex]\rm f(x)=(3x-1)(4x-3)[/tex]

Thus, the given expression [tex]\rm 12x^2-13x+3[/tex]  is equivalent to (3x - 1)(4x - 3).
