How would the expression x^2-4 be rewritten using Difference of Squares?

1 answer:

3 0

<span>a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b) or (a – b)(a + b).
This is the 'Difference of Squares' formula we can use to factor the expression.

In order to use the </span><span>'Difference of Squares' formula to factor a binomial, the binomial must contain two perfect squares that are separated by a subtraction symbol.

</span><span>x^2 - 4 fits this, because x^2 and 4 are both perfect squares, and they are separated by a subtraction symbol.
All you do here to factor, is take the square root of each term.

√x^2 = x
√4 = 2

Now that we have our square roots, x and 2, we substitute these numbers into the form (a + b)(a - b).
</span>
<span>(a + b)(a - b)
(x + 2)(x - 2)

Our answer is final </span><span>(x + 2)(x - 2), which can also be written as (x - 2)(x + 2), it doesn't make a difference which order you put it in.

Anyway, Hope this helps!!
Let me know if you need help understanding anything and I'll try to explain as best I can.</span>

A cylinder with radius 3 feet and height 5 feet is shown.

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

The volume of the cylinder is <u>141.23 cubic feet </u>

Step by step explanation :

<u>Given</u>-

Radius of cylinder = 3 feet
Height of cylinder = 5 feet

Now, we know that

<h3> $\boxed {\mathfrak \red{ volume \: of \: cylinder = \pi {r}^{2} h}}$ </h3>

where, r is the radius of the cylinder & h is the height of the cylinder.

Now,

Volume of the cylinder = $\frac{22}{7} \times {3}^{2} \times 5$

$= \frac{22}{7} \times 3 \times 3 \times 5$

$= 141.428571$ ( approximately )

$= \boxed{ 141.43 \: \mathfrak { {ft}^{3}} }$

Answer:

7. 25% of the merchants who purchase goods from Asia also purchase from Europe.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to say that:

A is the percentage of merchants who purchase goods from Asia.

B is the percentage of merchants who purchase goods from Europe.

We have that:

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

In which a is the probability that a merchant purchases goods from Asia but not from Europe and $A \cap B$ is the probability that a merchant purchases goods from both Asia and Europe.

By the same logic, we have that:

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

Which of following statement is individually sufficient to calculate what percent of the merchants in the group purchase goods from Europe but not form Asia?

We already have B.

Knowing $A \cap B$ , that is, the percentage of those who purchase from both Asia and Europe, we can find b.

So the correct answer is:

7. 25% of the merchants who purchase goods from Asia also purchase from Europe.

A college statistics class at a nearby university has 1,000 students enrolled in it. On a recent exam, the mean score was 75% wi

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

38.11%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean (μ) = 75, standard deviation (σ) = 5

Z score is a measure in statistics to determine the variation of a raw score from the mean. It is given by the equation:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

To calculate the percentage of students scored between a 73 and 78 (C grade), we need to find the z score for 73 and then for 78.

For x = 73, the z score is:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{73-75}{5} =-0.4$

For x = 78, the z score is:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{78-75}{5} =0.6$

From the probability distribution table:

P(73 < x < 78) = P(-0.4 < z < 0.6) = P(z < 0.6) - P(z < -0.4) = 0.7257 - 0.3446 = 0.3811 = 38.11%
