Answer:
a) 3x⁴-4x³-8x²-35x-10
Step-by-step explanation:
3x2(x²-3x-1)+5x(x²-3x-1)+10(x²-3x-1)
3x⁴-9x³-3x²+5x³-15x²-5x+10x²-30x-10
3x⁴-9x³+5x³-3x²-15x²+10x²-5x-30x-10
3x⁴-4x³-8x²-35x-10
Answer:
5 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Do a proportion
440/75= 1760/x
cross multiply
440x=1760(75)
simplify
132000/440
Answer:
72 in. squared
Step-by-step explanation:
12 times 6 = 72
By some properties of logarithms, rewrite the equation as

so that
(<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em>)² = <em>ab</em>
Expand the left side:
<em>a</em> ² - 4<em>ab</em> + 4<em>b</em> ² = <em>ab</em>
Rearrange terms to get a quadratic equation in <em>a</em>/<em>b</em> :
<em>a</em> ² - 5<em>ab</em> + 4<em>b</em> ² = 0
<em>b</em> must be greater than 0, otherwise log(<em>b</em>) doesn't exist, and the same goes for <em>a</em>. So we can divide by <em>b</em> ² to get
<em>a</em> ²/<em>b</em> ² - 5<em>a</em>/<em>b</em> + 4 = 0
Factorize and solve for <em>a</em>/<em>b</em> :
(<em>a</em>/<em>b</em> - 4) (<em>a</em>/<em>b</em> - 1) = 0
==> <em>a</em>/<em>b</em> = 4 or <em>a</em>/<em>b</em> = 1
However, if <em>a</em>/<em>b</em> = 1, then <em>a</em> = <em>b</em> makes <em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em> = -<em>b</em>. But we must have <em>b</em> > 0, so we omit the second solution and end up with
<em>a</em>/<em>b</em> = 4
Since the League itself is 90 games, and we know that each team will play each other twice, The equation can be written as:
90÷2
