Question

The cost of a customer's smartphone bill can be modeled by

the equation C= 2m + 30 where m is the number of
megabytes of data the customer uses per month. Factor this
cost polynomial.

Answer 1

C = (g + 5)

Explanation:

Given the cost of a customers smartphone bill,

C=10g+50

We are required to factor the polynomial.

First, determine the G.C.D of both terms

The GCD of 10g and 50 is 10

Next, we divide each of the term by 10 and balance it by multiplying the expression by 10.

C = 10g + 50

= 10 (10g / 10 + 50/10)

The cost polynomial factored is C=10(g+5).
