Factor 4a2 - 25. A. (2a + 5)(2a + 5) B. (2a - 5)(2a - 5) C. (2a - 5)(2a + 5)

1 answer:

3 0

This is the diference of 2 perfect squares. 4 is a perfect square, x^2 is a perfect square, and 25 is a perfect square. The pattern for this is (ax + b)(ax - b). Our a is 2 since 2*2 = 4, and our b is 5 since 5*5 = 25. So your factors are (2a+5)(2a-5), choice C.

A large community college has professors and lecturers. the total number of faculty is 136. The school reported that they have 6

ipn [44]

Let's come up with an equation for the numbers. We know that there are 136 faculty members, and there are 6 professors for every 11 lecturers. The equation could look something like this:

(6 * x) + (11 * x) = 136.

First, combine like terms:

6x + 11x = 136
17x = 136

Now, divide both sides by 17.

17x/17 = 136/17
x = 8.

Now, to check, plug in 8 for x in our equation:

(6 * 8) + (11 * 8) = 136
48 + (11 * 8) = 136
48 + 88 = 136

So to answer the question, they have 48 professors! :)

Find the coordinates of S after a rotation of the triangle 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin

Neko [114]

We first start by finding the actual coordinates of the pre - image's point S.

Assuming the x and y axis count by 1s, as there is no labels, we can conclude that:

The point's x coordiate is 4 to the left from the origin, or -4.

The point's y coordinate is 4 up from the origin, or 4.

So, the coordinates of Point S is (-4, 4).

Next, we apply the translation rule for a 90 degree counterclockwise rotation to the point's coordinates. The rule is (x, y) --> (-y, x). Using this rule on our coordinates, we get:

(-4, 4) --> (-4, -4)

So, the new coordinates of point S prime after a 90 degree counterclockwise rotation are (-4, -4).

how would you estimate the sum? just like estimate the fractions and then get your estimated answer? Q: 2 1/6 + 3 6/11

denis-greek [22]

I think estimation is terrible. If u want to truly solve it, you just need to get a common denominator on each of the fractions. that means the bottom half of both fractions must be the same in addition or subtraction. so here, the common denominator would be 66. What times 6 = 66? 11. So 1*11/6*11 = 11/66. Then what times 11 = 66? 6. So 6*6/6*11. Your new problem is 2 11/66 + 3 36/66. Now you can just add it up, but the denominators will always stay the same, 66. Your answer would be 5 47/66
