Answer:
<u>∗ = 0.4x³</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
(15y + ∗)² = 225y²+12x³y+0.16x⁶
<u>Note:</u>
225y² = 15y * 15y = (15y)²
12x³y = 2 * 15y * 0.4x³
0.16x⁶ = 0.4x³ * 0.4x³ = (0.4x³)²
So, by factoring the right hand side:
225y²+12x³y+0.16x⁶ = (15y + 0.4x³)²
By comparing the left hand side with (15y + 0.4x³)²
<u>So, ∗ should be replaced with the monomial 0.4x³</u>
Answer:
x = ± 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3x² = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x² = 4 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ±
= ± 2
If you solve for x the answer is x<-8
