Answer:
a = -3/2 = -1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
(1+ax) (2+3x)³
Formula
(a+b)^3=a^3+3a^2b+3ab^2+b^3
(1 + ax) [ 2^3 + 3*2^2*3x + 3*2*(3x)^2 + (3x)^3]
(1 + ax) [ 8 + 12*3x + 6*9x^2 + 27x^3]
8 + 12*3x + <u>6*9x^2</u> + 27x^3 + 8ax + <u>36ax^2</u> + 54ax^3 + 27ax^4
coefficient of x^2 is zero
54x^2 + 36ax^2
54 + 36a = 0
36a = -54
a = -3/2
Plug in the known variables.
5n + 2 n = number of games bowled
5(3) + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17
The answer is: D
Step-by-step explanation:
Direction: Opens Up
Vertex: (
−1/2, −25/4)
Focus: (−1/2, −6)
Axis of Symmetry: x = -12
Directrix: y = -132
They lie in the same plane is the answer ;)
If he got 5 points in the first round and he needed at least thirty he would score 9 points in the next three rounds
