Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a expression:

5x - (x + 3)^2

and we have to evaluate it at x=2

Putting x=2 in above expression, we get

5\times 2 - (2 + 3)^2\\\\=10-5^2\\\\=10-25\\\\=-15

Amir's Calculation is as follows:

5(2) - (2 + 3)^2 = 10 + (-5)^2 = 10 + 25 = 35

He took the minus sign before the bracket of (2+3)² inside the bracket

i.e. instead of writing -(2+3)²= -5²= -25

he wrote it as -(2+3)²= (-5)²

and the correct answer is:

-15

dlinn [17]

Answer

D. 3m - 4/3 -2/m


<u>Explanation</u>

(9m²-4m-6) ÷ 3m  = 9m²/3m - 4m/3m - 6/3m

Carry out the division, each term is divided by 3m.

9m²/3m = 3m

- 4m/3m = -4/3

- 6/3m = - 2/m

Finally you will get,

<em>3m - 4/3 -2/m</em>

A solid right pyramid has a square base with an edge length of x cm and a height of y cm. Which expression represents the volume
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Thus, volume of pyramid = \frac{1}{3}x^2y cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A solid right pyramid has a square base with an edge length of x cm and a height of y cm.

We have to choose from the given options an expression for the volume of the pyramid.

Volume of pyramid = \frac{1}{3}\times Area\ of\ base \times height

Since base is a square with edge length x cm.

Area of square = (side)² = x²

Thus, volume of pyramid = \frac{1}{3}x^2y cm³
