begin by pulling 2 out of the numerator using the distributive property.
numerator: 2(16x^4 - 25) and now factor
numerator: 2(4x^2 - 5)(4x^2 + 5)
Now go to the denominator. It looks messy but it will break down.
Pull out 4x^2 for the first two terms and 5 for the last 2 terms. Use the distributive property.
denominator: 4x^2(x - 3) - 5(x - 3) now x - 3 is the common term.
denominator: (x - 3)(4x^2 - 5)
Put the two results together.
After canceling out 4x^2 - 5 on both the numerator and the denominator, you are left with.
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
20x+5+24x-1=180
44x=176
x=4
Answer: 2: an equation in the form y = mx + b
1. An x/y table may have two entries with the same x; not a function in that case.
2. That's a line with a slope; for each x there's a single y, definitely a function
3. Ordered pairs -- like the table, the same x with different ys is possible, which wouldn't be a function.
4. List of numbers -- a list isn't a function, at least not without more context
Answer:
212,214,216
Step-by-step explanation:
n+n+2+n+4=642
add the n's and 2 and 4
3n+6=642
subtract 6 from both sides
636 divided by 3
you get 212 then add 2 twice.
Answer:
See explanation below for all parts
Step-by-step explanation:
Your current slope (m) is -1/2 (the orange colored slope) so the "opposite" slope would be 2/1 or 2(the blue colored slope)
The answer for number 3 is y=2x+b.
For number 4, plug in the point values for x and y and solve for b. The point given is (-4,-5).
-5=2(-4)+b Now simplify
-5=-8+b then add 8 to both sides to isolate b
3=b or b=3
For number 9, you now know that m is 2 and b is 3
y=2x+3
