Answer:

C. (3x - 2)²

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of a binomial can be written as (a + b)². If you expand this formula, you get

(a + b)(a + b). Use F.O.I.L. to multiply this out..

F - stands for 'Firsts' (the first values in each set of parenthesis)

O - stands for 'Outsides' ( the first value in the first set of parenthesis, and the  

second value in the second set of parenthesis)

I - stands for 'Insides' ( the second value in the first set of parenthesis, and  

the first value in the second set of parenthesis)

L - stands for 'Lasts' ( the second value in each set of parenthesis)

This is the order you multiply them in...so we get

F - a² (a times a)

O - ab  

I - ba (which we rewrite as ab, since order doesn't matter when multiplying)

L - b²

We add them together to get a² + ab + ab + b²

which simplifies to a² + 2ab + b²

Read this as, the square of the first term in the parenthesis (a²), plus twice the product of the terms (2ab is twice the product of a and b), plus the square of the last term in the parenthesis)

So to solve this we need to factor  9x² - 12x + 4

Look at the bold paragraph above and work backwards.  

Take the square root of the term 9x², which is 3x. That goes in the first value of the parenthesis, so we have

(3x + b)²  

We know that -12x is twice the product of the two terms, so we divide by 2 to see the product of the two terms.

-12x/2 = -6x,  

We know one term, so divide -6x by the first term, 3x, to find the second term.

-6x/3x = -2

So the last term in our set of parenthesis is -2, so we have

(3x - 2)²

If m(x)=x 5/x-1 and n(x) = x – 3, which function has the same domain as (m*n)(x)
Tatiana [17]
<span><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
m(x) has the same domain as (m*n)(x)

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>1- For m(x):</u>
m(x) is a fraction. This means that the <u>denominator cannot be zero</u>, otherwise, the fraction would be undefined.
The denominator of m(x) would be zero at x = 1.
This means that the <u>domain of m(x) can be any real number except 1</u>

<u>2- For n(x):</u>
The value of x in n(x) can be any number. This is because there is no value that would make n(x) undefined.
This means that the <u>domain of n(x) is all real numbers</u>

<u>3- For (m*n)(x):</u>
(m*n)(x) = m(x) * n(x) = </span>\frac{x-5}{x-1} *(x-3) =  \frac{(x-5)(x-3)}{(x-1)}
<span>
We can note that the product is also a fraction. This means that the <u>denominator cannot be zero</u>.
The denominator here will be zero at x = 1.
This means that the <u>domain of (m*n)(x) is all real numbers except 1</u>.
<u>This is the same as the domain of m(x)</u>

Hope this helps :)</span>

Aaron participates in a walkathon for charity. He has a sponsor who has pledged a base donation of $2 for the first mile he walk
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

total amount donated when aaron walks n miles = $2 + $3(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Aaron participates in a walkathon for charity. He has a sponsor who has pledged a base donation of $2 for the first mile he walks and then a certain dollar amount for each additional mile he walks. Based on this pledge, if Aaron walks 8 miles, the sponsor will donate a total of $23 to the charity.

Write a formula that can be used to determine the amount of money this sponsor donates when Aaron walks n miles.

total amount sponsor pays = base donations + (additional miles walked after first mile x amount paid)

when Aaron walks 8 miles

additional miles = 8 - 1 = 7

23 = 2 + 7x

23 - 2 = 7x

x = 3

additional amount paid is $3

total amount donated when aaron walks n miles = $2 + $3(n-1)
