Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
a. 8x^2 - 1
(x^2 - 4x + 5) + (7x^2 + 4x - 6)
= x^2 + 7x^2 - 4x + 4x - 1
= 8x^2 - 1
b. 5x^2 + 7x - 7
(7x^2 + 4x - 6) - (2x^2 - 3x + 1)
= 7x^2 + 4x - 6 - 2x^2 + 3x - 1
= 7x^2 - 2x^2 + 4x + 3x - 6 - 1
= 5x^2 + 7x -7
Hope this helps!
Answer:Look at this list of whole number powers of -2:
(-2)0 = 1
(-2)1 = -2
(-2)2 = 4
(-2)3 = -8
(-2)4 = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: a) An = An-1 + An-2
b) 55ways
Step-by-step explanation:
a) a nickel is 5 cents and a dime is 10cent so a multiple of 5 cents is the possible way to pay the tolls in both choices.
Let An represents the number of possible ways the driver can pay a toll of 5n cents, so that
An = 5n cents
Case 1: Using a nickel for payment which is 5 cents, the number of ways given as;
An-1 = 5( n-1)
Case 2: using a dime which is two 5 cents, the number of ways is given as;
An-2 = 5(n-2)
Summing up the number of ways, we have
An = An-1 + An-2
From the relation,
If n= 0, Ao= 1
n =1, A1= 1
b) 45 cents paid in multiples of 5cents will give us 9 ways(A9)
From the relation, we have that
Ao = 1
A1 = 1
An =An-1 + An-2
Ao = 1
A1 = 1
A2 = A1+Ao = 1+1= 2
A3 = A2 + A1 = 3
A4 = A3+A2=5
A5=A4+A3=8
A6=A5+A4=13
A7 =A6+A5 = 21
A8= A7+A6= 34
A9= A8+A7= 55
So there are 55ways to pay 45cents.
