There is no simplest form for a decimal. You can only simplify equations and fractions, not decimals. For example, could you simplify 1? I don't think you could. Well, it's the same concept for -3.75.
Hope that answered your question.
<span>2x-1=4(x+1)
Given.
This is the expression you were originally given.
2x-1=4x+4
Distributive Property
You distributed the 4 in the subexpression 4(x + 1) to make 4x + 4
2x=4x+5
Addition or Subtraction Property of Equality
You added 1 to both sides of the equation.
â’2x=5
Addition or Subtraction Property of Equality
You subtracted 4x from both sides of the equation.
x=-5/2
Multiplication or Division Property of Equality
You divided both sides by -2.</span>
Answer:
(x+3)(x-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
rewrite "9" as 3^2
so it is x^2-3^2
You use the difference of squares: a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)
apply it: (x+3)(x-3)
Answer:
<em>The binomial is a factor</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to show that x+3 is a factor of the polynomial, then;
f(a) = 0
Get a by equating x+3 to zero
x+3 = 0
x = -3
Get f(-3)
f(-3) = (-3)^4 + 8(-3)^3 + 11(-3)^2 -11(-3) + 3
f(-3) = 81 - 216 + 99 + 33 + 3
f(-3) = 216-216
f(-3) = 0
<em>Since the remainder of the polynomial when divided by x+3 is zero, this shows that x+3 is a factor of the given polynomial</em>
