54^2 − 46^2 = (54 + 46)(54 − 46) = (100)(8) = 800

hope it helps

A difference of squares is of the form (a^2-b^2) and always factors to:

(a^2-b^2)=(a+b)(a-b)

So in this case:

(54^2-46^2)=(54+46)(54-46)=(100)(8)=800

Evaluate the algebraic expression h + r when b = 3, d = 12, h = 2 and r = 7.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer is 9

To get this answer, we replace h with 2, and replace r with 7. This is because h = 2 and r = 7 is given to us

So
h+r = 2+7 = 9

A fair die is rolled 5 times. What is the probability of rolling a three at least once

Nata [24]

Answer:

0.83333333

Step-by-step explanation:

since usually if a dice is rolled 6 times. the probability of rolling a three would be 1/6th as there are even sides on a dice and even probabilities. You would divide 5 by 6 instead of 6 by 6 meaning that the probability is 0.83333 recurring

Each sequence below gives an explicit formula. Write the first five terms of each sequence. Then, write a recursive

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The first five values are 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20

The recursive formula is as follow

$\left \{ {{a_{1} =12} \atop {a_{n} =a_{n-1} } + 2} \right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we need to find the first 5 values we start with n = 1 to n = 5. Note that we don't start from n = 0 as the question states that n ≥ 1.

For the first 5 values we just replace the value of n with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and calculate the answer

$a_{1} = 2(1) + 10 = 12\\ a_{2} = 2(2) + 10 = 14\\ a_{3} = 2(3) + 10 = 16\\ a_{4} = 2(4) + 10 = 18\\ a_{5} = 2(5) + 10 = 20$

The first five values are 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20

A recursive formula is one that

a) Mentions the initial term

b) provides a formula connecting the previous term to the existing term.

Since we know the first term is 12, i.e $a_{1} = 12$ and we know that the difference between consecutive terms is 2 we can conclude that the recursive formula is made up of the following two formulas
