The polynomial 9x^2 + 4 is equivalent to (3x+2i)(3x-2i). The answer is A.

Polynomials are algebraic expressions that consist of variables and coefficients where arithmetic operations can be performed.

A polynomial is expanded if no variable appears within parentheses and all like terms have been combined.

To expand a polynomial, multiply its factors (often by using the distributive property) or perform the indicated operations.  Then combine all like terms.

Expanding each of the options provided using FOIL method:

a) (3x+2i)(3x-2i)

= 9x^2 - 2ix + 2ix - 4i^2

= 9x^2 - 4i^2            *(i^2 = -1) note that i is an imaginary number and i squared is equal to -1

= 9x^2 - 4(-1)

= 9x^2 + 4

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

= 9x^2 + 6x - 6x - 4

= 9x^2 - 4

c) (3x + 2i)^2

= 9x^2 + 6ix + 6ix + 4i^2          *(i^2 = -1)

= 9x^2 + 12ix - 4

d) (3x + 2)^2

= 9x^2 + 6x + 6x + 4

= 9x^2 + 12x + 4

Hence, the polynomial 9x^2 + 4 is equivalent to (3x+2i)(3x-2i). The answer is A.

What is the phase of y= -3cos (3x-pi) +5
ratelena [41]

Answer:

- \frac{\pi}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = -3\cos(3x - \pi) + 5

Required

The phase

We have:

y = -3\cos(3x - \pi) + 5

Rewrite as:

y = -3\cos(3(x - \frac{\pi}{3})) + 5

A cosine function is represented as:

y = A\cos(B(x + C)) + D

Where:

C \to Phase

By comparison:

C = - \frac{\pi}{3}

Hence, the phase is: - \frac{\pi}{3}

If two sides in one triangle are 9 and 21 , then the third side might be
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a rule that says that if you add any 2 sides, it should be more than the third. 9+21 is greater than 13. 21+13 is greater than 9. 13 is the only number which if you add 9 to it it will be greater than 21. 12 will equal 21, but it still wont work.

hope this helps :))

Can you help me please? I would appreciate it ❤️❤️
lianna [129]
The answer is 9
You divide 143 % 11 to get 13. 13 is the number they make an hour, so if you divide 117 % 13 you will get 9.
