Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 16b^2c^12-0.25 can be rewritten as follows because it is the difference of two squares:
(4bc^6 - .5)(4bc^6 + .5)
b. 81x^6y^2-0.36a^2
is the difference of two squares, just like (a) (above); its factors are:
(9x^3y - 0.6a)(9x^3y + 0.6a)
You need to use the distance formula


so the distance between points (5,-2) and (-3,8) is

which won't simplify so it stays as is
Answer:
x = 4 ± 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - 8x = 3
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 = 3 + 16
(x - 4)² = 19 ( take the square root of both sides )
x - 4 = ±
( add 4 to both sides )
x = 4 ±
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
To make that graph you follow these steps.
1) Set the cartesian coordinate system:
- vertical axis: y
- horizontal axis: x
- positive x-semi axis: to the right
- negative x-semi axis: to the left
- positive y-semi axis: upward
- negative y semi axis: dwonward
2) solve the inequality for y:
given: -2x + 5y > 15
transpose-2x: 5y > 15 + 2x
divide by 5: y > 3 + (2/5)x
3) Graph-
draw the line y = 3 + (2/5)x, using a dotted line (i.e. - - - - - -)
- remember that 3 is the y intercept, and 2/5 is the slope
- the line is dotted because
the solution does not include the points in the line.
- the solution is the
region above and to the left of the dotted line.
4) See the
figure attached for better visualization: the pink region is the solution of the inequality.
