( $x^{2}$ + 4)( $x^{2}$ - 4)

To solve this question you must FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) like so

First:

(x^2 + 4)(x^2 - 4)

x^2 * x^2

x^4

Outside:

(x^2 + 4)(x^2 - 4)

x^2 * -4

-4x^2

Inside:

(x^2 + 4)(x^2 - 4)

4 * x^2

4x^2

Last:

(x^2 + 4)(x^2 - 4)

4 * -4

-16

Now combine all the products of the FOIL together like so...

x^4 - 4x^2 +4x^2 - 16

Combine like terms:

x^4 - 4x^2 +4x^2 - 16

- 4x^2 +4x^2 = 0

x^4 - 16 <<<This is your answer

Hope this helped!

in parallelogram ABCD, AC is diagonal, the measure <ABC is 40°, and the measure of <ACD IS 57°. what is the measure of &lt

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer: $\angle CAD = 83^\circ$ Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we use properties of parallelogram and angle sum property of a triangle.

In parallelogram ABCD

$\angle ABC=40^\circ$

As, we know that opposite angles of parallelogram are equal

Therefore,

$\angle ABC =\angle ADC =40^\circ$

Now, in triangle ADC

We know that sum of all the angles of a triangle is $=180^\circ$

$\angle ACD +\angle ADC +\angle DAC =180^\circ$

$57^\circ +40^\circ +\angle DAC =180^\circ$

$97^\circ + \angle DAC = 180^\circ$

Subtracting 97 from both sides we get

$\angle DAC = 180^\circ - 97^\circ$

$\angle DAC = 83^\circ$

Measure of $\angle CAD = 83^\circ$

3x + 5 = x - 3

dusya [7]

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5 = x - 3

Subtract x from each side

3x+5-x = x-3-x

2x+5 = -3

Subtract 5 from each side

2x+5-5 = -3-5

2x = -8

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = -8/2

x = -4

A jeweler wants to make 14 grams of an alloy that is precisely 75% gold.. The jeweler has alloys that are 25% gold, 50% gold, &a

Goryan [66]

Given that the jeweler has alloys that are 25% gold, 50% gold, and 82% gold.

As he wants to make 14 grams of an alloy by adding two different alloys that is precisely 75% gold, so one alloy must have a percentage of gold more than 75%.

One alloy is 82% gold and, the second can be chosen between 25% gold, 50% gold, so there are two cases.

Case 1: 82% gold + 50% gold

Let x grams of 82% gold and y grams of 50% gold added to make x+y=14 grams of 75% gold, so

75% of 14 = 82% of x + 50% of y

$\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 50/100 \times y \\\\$

$\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 50/100 \times (14-x)$ [as x+y=14]

$\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 50 \times (14-x) \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 50 \times14-50\times x \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 32 \times x + 50 \times14 \\\\\Rightarrow 32 \times x =75 \times 14 - 50 \times14 \\\\$

$\Rightarrow x =(25 \times 14)/32=10.9375$ grams

and $y = 14-x= 14-10.9375=3.0625$ grams.

Hence, 10.9375 grams of 82% gold and 3.0625 grams of 50% gold added to make 14 grams of 75% gold.

Case 2: 82% gold + 25% gold

Let x grams of 82% gold and y grams of 25% gold added to make x+y=14 grams of 75% gold, so

75% of 14 = 82% of x + 25% of y

$\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 25/100 \times y \\\\\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 25/100 \times (14-x) \\\\ \Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 25 \times (14-x) \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 25 \times14-25\times x \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 57 \times x + 25 \times14 \\\\\Rightarrow 57 \times x =75 \times 14 - 25 \times14 \\\\$

$\Rightarrow x =(50 \times 14)/57=12.28$ grams

and $y = 14-x= 14-12.28=1.72$ grams.

Hence, 12.28 grams of 82% gold and 1.72 grams of 50% gold added to make 14 grams of 75% gold.

How do you determine where to place the decimal point in the product?

frez [133]

Let's look at an example:

2.24 x 21.6

$2.24\\ 21.6\\ ______$

Do normal multiplication and get

48384 This is not correct, until we put the decimals in. To know how to do this, count the number of decimal spaces from the factors. In 2.24, there are 2, because .24. In 21.6 there are 1 because of .6. This mean three places, so 48384 becomes

48.384
