Answer:

<em>A. (C+D)^2  is the largest expression</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Squaring Properties </u>

The square of a number N is shown as N^2 and is the product of N by itself, i.e.  

N^2=N*N

If N is positive and less than one, its square is less than N, i.e.

N^2

If N is greater than one, its square is greater than N

N^2>N, \ for\ N>1

We have the following information: C and D represent two different school populations, C > D, and C and D must be positive. We can safely assume C and D are also greater or equal than 1. Let's evaluate the following expressions to find out which is the largest

A. (C+D)^2

Expanding  

(C+D)^2=C^2+2CD+D^2

Is the sum of three positive quantities. This is the largest of all as we'll prove later

B. 2(C+D)

The extreme case is when C=2 and D=1 (recall C>D). It results:

2(C+D)=2(3)=6

The first expression will be

(3)^2=9

Any other combination of C and D will result smaller than the first option

C. C^2 + D^2

By comparing this with the first option, we see there are two equal terms, but A. has one additional term 2CD that makes it greater than C.

D. C^2 - D^2

The expression can be written as

(C+D)(C-D)

Comparing with A.

(C+D)^2=(C+D)(C+D)

The subtracting factor (C-D) makes this product smaller than A which has two adding factors.

Thus A. is the largest expression

Find g o f if f(x) = 2x - 1 and g(x) = x + 2.
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

  (g◦f)(x) = 2x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

(g◦f)(x) = g(f(x)) = g(2x -1) = (2x -1) +2

(g◦f)(x) = 2x +1

__

Substitute f(x) for the argument in the function g(x) and simplify.

A box is to be constructed with a rectangular base and a height of h cm. the length, l, of the box is 10 cm, and the width, w, i
vivado [14]
There are several information's already given in the question. based on those information's, the answer can be easily determined.
Height of the box = h cm
Length of the box = 10 cm
Width of the box = 2h
Then
Volume of the box = Length * height * width
                              = 10 * h * 2h cubic cm
                              = 20h^2 cm^3
I hope that the above procedure is clear enough for you to understand and it has actually come to your desired help.
