Step-by-step explanation:

the area is

length × width

(3x - 2) × width = 9x² - 4

to find width we could do a real polynomial division or simply recognize the fact that

(a + b)(a - b) = a² - b²

and we see that in our area calculation we are missing the (a + b) factor.

so, width = (3x + 2)

but if you want the division :

9x² - 4 : 3x - 2 = 3x + 2

- 9x² - 6x

-----------------

0 6x - 4

- 6x - 4

----------------------

0 0

again, width = (3x + 2)

Miriam is picking out some movies to rent, and she is primarily interested in comedies and foreign films. She has narrowed down

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

There are 795 combinations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of ways or combinations in which we can select k element from a group of n elements is given by:

$nCk=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

So, if Miriam want to choose 3 movies with at least two comedies, she have two options: Choose 2 comedies and 1 foreign film or choose 3 comedies.

Then, the number of combinations for every case are:

1. Choose 2 Comedies from the 10 and choose 1 foreign film from 15. This is calculated as:

$10C2*15C1=\frac{10!}{2!(10-8)!}*\frac{15}{1!(15-14)!}$

$10C2*15C1=675$

2. Choose 3 Comedies from the 10. This is calculated as:

$10C3=\frac{10!}{3!(10-3)!}=120$

Therefore, there are 795 combinations and it is calculated as:

675 + 120 = 795

The graph of an absolute value function opens down and has a vertex of (0, -3). The domain of the function is . The range of the

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Domain: All real numbers

Range: $y\leq -3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the set of all x values. The quadratic equation continue to operate over all x-values in both directions. The domain is all real numbers.

The range is the set of all y-values. Here the quadratic begins at -3 and continues in a downward direction forever. Then range is $y\leq -3$

200 = 16(6t - 13)<br><br> t = ? <br> Help!

Marrrta [24]

Step 1. Divide both side by 16

100/16 = 6t - 13

Step 2. Dimplify 200/16 to 25/2

25/2 = 6t - 13

Step 3. Add 13 to both sides

25/2 + 13 = 6t

Step 4. Simplify 25/2 + 13 to 51/2

51/2 = 6t

Step 5. Divide both sides by 6

51/2/6 = t

Step 6. Simplify 51/2/6 to 51/2 * 6

51/2 * 6 = t

Step 7. Simplify 2 * 6 to 12

51/12 = t

Step 8. Simplify 51/12 to 17/4

17/4 = t

Step 9. Switch sides

t = 17/4

The set of numbers in the Collatz Conjecture are 1, 4, 2, 1, 4, 2, 1, 4, 2....

<h3>How to generate the numbers in the Collatz Conjecture</h3>

To start with, we make use of the following starting point:

Starting point = 1

The rule is given as:

If the last number is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1.
If the last number is even, divide the number by 2.

1 is an odd number.

So, we use the first rule

So, we have:

1 * 3 + 1 = 4

4 is an even number.

So, we use the second rule

So, we have:

4/2 = 2

So, the first three numbers in the Collatz Conjecture are:

1, 4, 2

Using the given rules, we have:

1, 4, 2, 1, 4, 2, 1, 4, 2....

The above means that there is only one set of repeating numbers in the Collatz Conjecture.

Hence, the set of numbers in the Collatz Conjecture are 1, 4, 2, 1, 4, 2, 1, 4, 2....
