Answer:
1. -8x² - 16x - 6 a = -8, b = -16, c = -6
1. 4x² - 1 a = 4, b = 0, c = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
use the 'foil' method:
(4x + 2)(-2x - 3)
F: -8x² O: -12x I: -4x L: -6
-8x² - 16x - 6
(2x + 1)(2x - 1)
F: 4x² O: -2x I: 2x L: -1
4x² - 1
Answer: Choice B
12.5 < x < 18.9
================================================
Explanation:
We have a triangle with these side lengths:
- a = 10
- b = 16
- c = x = unknown
Let's assume that b = 16 is the largest side of this triangle.
By the converse of the pythagorean theorem, we need
to be true in order for an acute triangle to happen.
So,

Now let's consider the possibility that the missing side x is actually the longest side.
Using the same theorem as before, we would say,

We found that x > 12.5 and x < 18.9
This is the same as saying 12.5 < x and x < 18.9
Put together, they form the approximate answer of 12.5 < x < 18.9
Answer:
y < 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the line is dotted, it will be either greater than or less than depending on if it is shaded above or below. It's "y" because the line crosses the y axis, not the x axis.
I think it’s 0.85d, but i’m not sure
Answer: 14x^2 - 84x - 7
====================================================
Explanation:
The like terms 6x^2 and 8x^2 combine to 14x^2
The like terms -8x and -76x combine to -84x
Nothing pairs with the -7, so its stays as is.
Standard form is where we list the terms in decreasing exponent order. We can think of -84x as -84x^1 and the -7 as -7x^0. So 14x^2 - 84x - 7 would be the same as 14x^2 - 84x^1 - 7x^0. The exponents count down: 2,1,0.
The final answer is a trinomial since it has three terms. It is also a quadratic because the degree (highest exponent) is 2.
