So what we're doing is subtracting g(x) from f(x). If f(x) = -8x^2 - 5x, and g(x) = 17x^2 + 11x, we're just subtracting two binomials.

(- 8x^2 - 5x) - (17x^2 + 11x) Is our problem. If you don't know how to subtract polynomials, I'll show you step by step.

First you want to distribute the implied ones to get rid of the parenthesis. This means that you multiply the first set of numbers by 1, and the second by -1. The first set will stay the same, but when you multiply the second set by -1, both terms will become negative.

(- 8x^2 - 5x) - (17x^2 + 11x)
1(- 8x^2 - 5x) - 1(17x^2 + 11x)
-8x^2 - 5x - 17x^2 - 11x.

Now, we want to add/subtract like terms. Like terms are terms with the same variable and exponent. All we do is add/subtract the coefficient. The variable and exponent will stay the same. If a term does not a show a coefficient, then the coefficient is 1.

-8x^2 and -17x^2 are like terms. Subtract the coefficients.
-8 - 17 = -25
-8x^2 - 17x^2 = -25x^2

-5x - 11x
-5 - 11 = -6
-5x - 11x = -6x

So our final result is -25x^2 - 6x.

Hope this helps!!
Let me know if you need help understanding anything and I'll try to explain as best I can.

6x+6y=-6, 5x+y=-13<br>Show your process please<br>Solve the linear equation​
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: Rewrite equations:

5x+y=−13;6x+6y=−6

Step: Solve5x+y=−13for y:

5x+y=−13

5x+y+−5x=−13+−5x(Add -5x to both sides)

y=−5x−13

Step: Substitute−5x−13foryin6x+6y=−6:

6x+6y=−6

6x+6(−5x−13)=−6

−24x−78=−6(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−24x−78+78=−6+78(Add 78 to both sides)

−24x=72

−24x

−24

=

72

−24

(Divide both sides by -24)

x=−3

Step: Substitute−3forxiny=−5x−13:

y=−5x−13

y=(−5)(−3)−13

y=2(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=−3 and y=2

A farm has a square fenced-in area with side length x where the farm gives children pony rides. Adjacent to one entire side of t
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

1) x²+4x=2700

2) 50x50

Step-by-step explanation:

Pony area = x²

line-up area=4x

x²+4x=2700

x²+4x-2700=0

(x-50)(x+54)

So x= 50 or -54.  Since it can’t be a negative number, it must be 50.

CHECK:

Square = 50x50 = 2500

Line up area = 50x4 = 200

2500+200=2700 YES

Find the conjugate and product of<br><br>2-i5 ​
WITCHER [35]

Answer: 2+i5,\ 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Complex number is 2-i5

Its conjugate is obtained by changing the sign of the original number i.e. 2+i5

The product of the two numbers is

\Rightarrow (2-i5)(2+i5)=2^2-(5i)^2\quad \quad [(x+y)(x-y)=x^2-y^2]\\\\\Rightarrow (2-i5)(2+i5)=4-25i^2\\\\\Rightarrow (2-i5)(2+i5)=4+25=29

Angle 3 and angle 4 are supplementary angles. Angle 3 is 88. What is the measure of angle 4?
Mademuasel [1]
Since angles 3 and 4 are supplementary, they add up to 180 degrees.

Angle 3 is 88 degrees.

To get the measure of the last angle, let's subtract 88 from 180.

180 - 88 = 92

Thus, Angle 4 has a measure of 92 degrees.

Have an awesome day! :)
