Factor: 4b^3 - 12b^2 - 9b + 27

(2b - 3)(2b + 3)(b - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

4b³ - 9b - 12b² + 27

b(4b² - 9) - 3(4b² - 9)

(4b² - 9)(b - 3)

(2b - 3)(2b + 3)(b - 3)

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
