Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
2-(-2)=2+2=4
Answer:
y =
x²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y and x² are directly proportional then the equation relating them is
y = kx² ← k is the constant of proportion
When x = 2
y = k × 2² = 4k
When x = 5
y = k × 5² = 25k
Then
25k - 4k = 20 ( difference between values is 20 )
21k = 20 ( divide both sides by 21 )
k = 
y =
x² ← equation of proportion
The correct answer is <span>C. Lines m and n have the same slope so they are parallel. The slope = 2/3 </span>
The answer is <span>c. 16x2 + 24xy + 9y2.
Since we need trinomial (three term expression) choices a and b are incorrect because they have only two terms.
So, our square trinomial is a</span>² + 2ab + b² or a² - 2ab + b²
a² + 2ab + b² = (a + b)²
a² - 2ab + b² = (a - b)²
Let's check choices c and d:
c) 16x² + 24xy + 9y²
a² = 16x²
a² = (4x)²
a = 4x
b² = 9y²
b² = (3y)²
b = 3y
a² + 2ab + b² = (4x)² + 2 * 4x * 3y + (3y)² = 16x² + 24xy + 9y²
CORRECT
d) 49x² - 70xy + 10y²
a² = 49x²
a² = (7x)²
a = 7x
b² = 10y²
b² = (y√10)²
b = y√10
a² + 2ab + b² = (7x)² + 2 * 7x * y√10 + (y√10)² = 49x² + 14xy√10 + 10y²
INCORRECT
So, c) is correct answer
The answer is 7/4, 1 3/4 or 1.75
