Question

Please help me with this problem!!

Answer 1

Hello!

`\large\boxed{C = 3x^(3)}`

To find C, we can isolate for the "C" factor:

`12x^(5) = (4x^(2))(C)`

Divide both sides by 4x² to isolate:

`(12x^(5))/(4x^(2)) = C`

Simplify the coefficients: (12 ÷ 4 = 3)

`(3x^(5))/(x^(2)) = C`

Divide exponents using the following rule:

`(x^(a))/(x^(b)) = x^((a-b))`

Plug in the given numbers:

`(3x^(5))/(x^(2)) = 3x^((5 - 2)) = 3x^(3)`
