Given expression is x² - 121

This is called Difference of Squared terms, we have a formula that is given as :-

a² - b² = (a - b) · (a + b)

Now using the above formula in the given expression, we get :-

x² - 121

x² - (11)²

here a = x and b = 11

x² - (11)² = (x - 11) · (x + 11)

but it says that student gave the answer as (x - 11) · (x - 11).

So, student's answer should be (x - 11) · (x + 11) instead of product of two (x - 11) terms.

Using coal, steam, and _____, the fischer-tropsch procedure converts coal into a liquid fuel.
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Using coal, steam, and <u>OXYGEN,</u> the fischer-tropsch procedure converts coal into a liquid fuel.

Step-by-step explanation:

A series of chemical reactions in which hydrogen and carbon monoxide converges into liquid hydrocarbons by using a metal catalyst. This process is called The Fischer-Tropsch process.

Converting Coal into Liquid Fuel is know as Coal liquification.

IN Liquification process Oxygen, heat is used.

Therefore steam is for heat and oxygen to covert coal into liquid fuel.

Provide a recursive definition of the function f(n) = (n+1)!.
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

See definition below

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have to give a recursive definition, we must give a initial value f(0). Additionally, the value of f(n) must depend on the value of f(n-1) for all n≥1.

The required value of f(0) is (0+1)!=1!=1.

Now, the factorial itself is a recursive function, because (n+1)!=(n+1)n!. In terms of f, this means that f(n)=(n+1)f(n-1) for all n≥1.

Then, our definition is: f:N→N is defined by

  1. f(0)=1.
  2. For n≥1, f(n)=(n+1)f(n-1).

Pls help!!!!!!!! Will give brainliest!!!!!!!!!!!
prohojiy [21]
Okay so lets look at the equation given
a ^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}
this is the Pythagorean theorem, this equation holds true to all right angle triangles.

for the "a" and "b" terms must be the two shortest lengths and "c" must be the longest length.
why? because "c" represents the hypotenuse in this theorem and the hypotenuse is by definition the longest side of a right triangle.

(side note: always draw a picture, it helps a lot if you doodle a bit to get an idea of what you are working with)

we are given three lengths : 3 , 4, and 5 (im ignoring the measurements for now)

we can look at it two ways with a picture and through algebra

try to draw a right triangle with the given info. you'll see there are only two cases were this is possible the picture above is one case where this is not possible

now we can look at this algebraically
a = 3 \\ b = 4 \\ c = 5
(but "a" and "b" can swap lengths)

now with the Pythagorean theorem we can see how this plays out
{a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2} \\ {3 }^{2} + {4}^{2} = {5 }^{2} \\ 9 + 16 = 25 \\ 25 = 25
and heres with "a" and "b" lengths swapped
{4}^{2} + {3}^{2} = {5}^{2} \\ 16 + 9 = 25 \\ 25 = 25
now here's a case when we let 5 , our longest length , become a leg and let one our shorter lengths take the place of "c"

a = 5 \\ b = 3 \\ c = 4 \\ {5}^{2} + {3}^{2} = {4}^{2} \\ 25 + 9 = 16 \\ 34 = 16 \:
obviously 34 does not equal 16

hope this helped you out
