How does difference of squares work?

1 answer:

6 0

Every difference of squares problem can be factored as follows: a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b) or (a – b)(a + b). So, all you need to do to factor these types of problems is to determine what numbers squares will produce the desired results. Step 3: Determine if the remaining factors can be factored any further.

1/2x-2/5=3/5 (BTW I got 2/5 by reducing 4/10)
1/2x=7/5 (BTW I got 7/5 by moving 2/5 to the other side)
Then do 7/5 times 2 and you get 14/5

Rob is saving to buy a new MP3 player. For every $11 he earns babysitting, he saves $6. On Saturday, Rob earned $44 babysitting.

Answer:

Rob saved $24 on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rob is saving to buy a new MP3 player.

Money earned in baby sitting = $11

Money saved =$6

First we will find the Percentage of amount he saved.

Percentage of amount he saved can calculated by Amount saved divided by total money earned and then multiplying by 100.

framing in equation form we get;

Percentage of amount he saved = $\frac{6}{11} \times 100 \approx 54.55\%$

Now Given:

Money earned in babysitting on Saturday = $44

We need to find the Money he saved on Saturday.

Money Saved can be calculated by Percentage of amount he saved multiplying by Money earned in babysitting on Saturday and then divided by 100.

framing in equation form we get;

Money Saved on Saturday = $\frac{54.55}{100}\times 44 = \$24$

Hence Rob saved $24 on Saturday.

White raven [17]

<span>Here let the quadratic equation be ax^2 + bx + c We know that a=5 from the question. Since the roots are 6 and 2, the quadratic equation would take the form of a product like (a1x-b1)(a2x-b2). However, let's assume that a2=1 and b2=6, Since a=5, a1=5, then 5x-b1=5(x-2). Solving this shows that b1=10 So, the equation is (5x-10)(x-6)</span>
