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.

Find the other endpoint of the line segment with the given endpoint and midpoint. Endpoint: (9,8) Midpoint (0,9)

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

(-9, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The location of the midpoint of a line with endpoint at ( $x_1,y_1$ ) and ( $x_2,y_2$ ) is given as (x, y). The location of x and y are:

$x = \frac{x_1+x_2}{2},y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}$

Given the endpoint (9,8) and Midpoint (0,9), the location of the other endpoint can be gotten from:

$0=\frac{9+x_2}{2}\\ \\9+x_2=0\\\\x_2=-9\\\\Also,9=\frac{8+y_2}{2}\\ \\8+y_2=18\\\\y_2=18-8\\\\y_2=10$

Hence the endpoint is at (x2, y2) which is at (-9, 10)

If sammmy has 5 alligators biting and each have 100 hunred teeth how many bite marks would he have?

posledela

Hello!

We are given that each of the 5 alligators has 100 teeth. We can use the following equation to find the total number of teeth and, by extension, the total number of bite marks:

(100 teeth) × (5 alligators) = 500 teeth

We have now proven that the 5 alligators have a combined total of 500 teeth. Consequently, Sammy will have 500 bite marks.

I hope this helps!
