The first 3  are examples of the difference of 2 squares so you use the identity 
a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)
x^2 - 49 = 0 
so (x + 7)(x - 7) = 0
so either x + 7 = 0 or x - 7 = 0
giving x = -7  and 7.
Number 7 reduces to 3x^2 =12, x^2  = 4 so x = +/- 2
Number 8  take out GCf (d) to give 
d(d - 2)  = 0   so d = 0 ,  2
9 and 10 are more difficult to factor
you use the 'ac' method  Google it to get more details
2x^2 - 5x + 2
multiply first coefficient by the constant at the end 
that is 2 * 2 =  4
Now we want  2 numbers  which when multiplied give + 4 and when added give - 5:-    -1 and -4  seem promising so we write the equation as:-

2x^2 - 4x - x + 2 = 0

now factor by grouping 
2x(x - 2) - 1(x - 2) = 0

(x - 2) is common so

(2x - 1)(x - 2) = 0
and 2x - 1 = 0 or x - 2 = 0  and now you can find x.

The last example is solved in the same way.

Dawson's annual premium will be $2,462.40. This can be found by going across from "Male 40-44" over to "20-year coverage" which is $13.68. Since $13.68 is per $1000 of coverage, you would multiply it by 180 to get $2,462.40.

Rachel's checks I believe would have a deduction of $63.14.

The set of order pairs (-1, 8), (0,3) (1,2) and (2, -7) represent a function. What is the range of the function?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Answer: The range is the set {8, 3, 2, -7} which can be sorted to get {-7, 2, 3, 8}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

The range is simply the set of possible y values. All you have to do is list all the y coordinates and surround the values in curly braces. The curly braces indicate a set. Every point is of the form (x,y). The y coordinate is the second value listed of each ordered pair.
