Answer:

(–7x + 4)(–7x – 4) Sign changes in the middle of both parenthesis , so this will result in difference of squares

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for difference of squares

$a^2 - b^2 =(a+b)(a-b)$

(–7x + 4)(–7x + 4) both parenthesis having same terms so this will not result in difference of squares

(–7x + 4)(4 – 7x) both parenthesis having same terms so this will not result in difference of squares

(–7x + 4)(–7x – 4) Sign changes in the middle of both parenthesis , so this will result in difference of squares

(–7x + 4)(7x – 4) sign changes for both terms in both parenthesis so this will not result in difference of squares

a difference of squares
a^2 – b^2 = (a + b)(a – b)
in this case

(–7x + 4)(–7x – 4)

answer
(–7x + 4)(–7x – 4)

Answer: $4\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember the following:

$i=\sqrt{-1} \\\\i^2=-1$

Given the following expression:

$-2i\sqrt{-12}$

You can notice that the radicand (the number inside the square root) is negative. Therefore, in order to simplify the expression, you need to follow these steps:

1. Replace $\sqrt{-1}$ with $i$ and simplify:

$(-2i)(i)\sqrt{12}=-2i^2\sqrt{12}=-2(-1)\sqrt{12}=2\sqrt{12}$

2. Descompose 12 into its prime factors:

$12=2*2*3=2^2*3$

3. Substitute into the expression:

$=2\sqrt{2^2*3}$

4. Since $\sqrt[n]{a^n}=a$ , you can simplify it:

$=(2)(2)\sqrt{3}=4\sqrt{3}$

The distance between two points on a number line can be found by taking the ____A_____ of the ____B_____ of the coordinates. Fil

xeze [42]

Answer:

The distance between two points on a number line can be found by taking the absolute value of the difference of the coordinates.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every point can be paired with a number on a number line
The coordinate is the number associated with a point
To find the distance between point A and B you subtract the coordinates in any order you like and take the absolute value.

Marie has a part time job. She earns $7 an hour. She makes at most $143.50 per week. What is the greatest number of hours that s

Troyanec [42]

We can divide 143.50 by 7. This gives us 20.5. This means that she works 20.5 hours a week or 21 hours if you round up.

Answer: Choice D

(a-e)/f

=======================================

Explanation:

Points D and B are at locations (e,f) and (a,0) respectively.

Find the slope of line DB to get

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (0-f)/(a-e)

m = -f/(a-e)

This is the slope of line DB. We want the perpendicular slope to this line. So we'll flip the fraction to get -(a-e)/f and then flip the sign from negative to positive. That leads to the final answer (a-e)/f.

Another example would be an original slope of -2/5 has a perpendicular slope of 5/2. Notice how the two slopes -2/5 and 5/2 multiply to -1. This is true of any pair of perpendicular lines where neither line is vertical.
