Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the sum of perfect cubes. There is a pattern that can be followed in order to get it factored properly. First let's figure out why this is in fact a sum of perfect cubes and how we can recognize it as such.

343 is a perfect cube. I can figure that out by going to my calculator and starting to raise each number, in order, to the third power. 1-cubed is 1, 2-cubed is 8, 3-cubed is 27, 4-cubed is 64, 5-cubed is 125, 6-cubed is 216, 7-cubed is 343. In doing that, not only did I determine that 343 is a perfect cube, but I also found that 216 is a perfect cube as well. Obviously, x-cubed and y-cubed are also both perfect cubes. The pattern is

(ax + by)(a^2x^2 - abxy + b^2y^2) where a is the cubed root of 343 and b is the cubed root of 216. a = 7, b = 6. Now we fill in the formula:

(7x + 6y)(7^2x^2 - (7)(6)xy +6^2y^2) which simplifies to

(7x + 6y)(49x^2 - 42xy + 36y^2)

of the students in your class, 12% are left-handed. What fraction of the students are left-handed? Are there more right-handed o

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

The answer here is 3/25, more left handed students.

Step-by-step explanation:

12/100 are left handed, which reduces to 3/25. This means that there are only 3 left handed kids for every 22 right handed kids, showing that there are more right handed students than left handed.

If k = √31 and m = √26, which graph most closely represent the locations of K and M on a number line? The options are in the pic

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

First option

Step-by-step explanation:

√31 = 5.56....

√26 = 5.09....

So m is less than k but greater than 5.

k is greater than k but less than 6.

So the first option is more logical
