To factor \(x^2 + x - 6\), find two numbers that multiply to -6 and add to 1. These numbers are 3 and -2. Thus, the factorization is \((x + 3)(x - 2)\).

The equation of a line with a given slope \(m\) passing through a point \((x_1, y_1)\) can be found using the point-slope form: \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\). Substituting \(m = 2\), \(x_1 = 1\), and \(y_1 = 3\), the equation is \(y - 3 = 2(x - 1)\), which simplifies to \(y = 2x + 1\).

The slope of a line passing through two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is determined by the formula \((y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)\). For the points (1, 2) and (3, 6), the slope is \((6 - 2) / (3 - 1) = 4 / 2 = 2\).

The expression \((2x + 3)(x - 4)\) involves the process of distribution, also known as the FOIL method for binomials: First (\(2x \cdot x\)), Outer (\(2x \cdot -4\)), Inner (\(3 \cdot x\)), and Last (\(3 \cdot -4\)). The resultant expression is \(2x^2 - 8x + 3x - 12\), which further simplifies to \(2x^2 - 5x - 12\).

Simplify \((x^2 - 4)/(x - 2)\) by recognizing \(x^2 - 4\) as a difference of squares: \((x - 2)(x + 2)\). Thus, \((x^2 - 4)/(x - 2) = x + 2\) as long as \(x \neq 2\) to avoid division by zero .

The surface area of a sphere is calculated using the formula \(4\pi r^2\). For a sphere with radius 4, the surface area is \(4\pi (4^2) = 64\pi\) square units .

To find the GCD of 36 and 60 using prime factorization, first express each number as a product of primes: 36 = \(2^2 \times 3^2\) and 60 = \(2^2 \times 3 \times 5\). The GCD is the product of the smallest powers of common prime factors. Here, GCD = \(2^2 \times 3 = 12\).

To solve the quadratic equation \(x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0\), factor it into \((x + 2)(x + 3) = 0\). Set each factor equal to zero: \(x + 2 = 0\) and \(x + 3 = 0\). Thus, the solutions are \(x = -2\) and \(x = -3\).

Solve \(3(x - 2) = 2(x + 1)\) by first expanding both sides: \(3x - 6 = 2x + 2\). Next, isolate \(x\) by subtracting \(2x\) from both sides to get \(x - 6 = 2\). Then, add 6 to both sides, resulting in \(x = 8\).

To convert 120 degrees to radians, multiply by \(\frac{\pi}{180}\): \(120 \times \frac{\pi}{180} = \frac{2\pi}{3}\) radians .
