Harriet is helping her brother paint an art project like the one shown below. They plan to paint only the lateral faces. One qua
rt of paint covers 87 square feet.
If only full quarts can be
purchased, how many quarts of paint will they need to complete
the project if they plan on using one coat of paint?

Simplify. Write in Scientific Notation
2. You know that 256 = 2.56·100 = 2.56·10². After that, we use the same rule for exponents as above.
3. The distributive property is useful for this.
(3x – 1)(5x + 4) = (3x)(5x + 4) – 1(5x + 4)
... = 15x² +12x – 5x –4
... = 15x² +7x -4
4. Look for factors of 8·(-3) = -24 that add to give 2, the x-coefficient.
-24 = -1×24 = -2×12 = -3×8 = -4×6
The last pair of factors adds to give 2. Now we can write
... (8x -4)(8x +6)/8 . . . . . where each of the instances of 8 is an instance of the coefficient of x² in the original expression. Factoring 4 from the first factor and 2 from the second factor gives
... (2x -1)(4x +3) . . . . . the factorization you require
