-2(x + 3) = -2(x + 1) - 4

-2x - 6 = -2x - 2 - 4        <em>distributed -2 on the left and on the right</em>

-2x - 6 = -2x - 6

<u>+2x     </u>   <u>+2x      </u>

     -6 =        -6

        TRUE

Since this is a true statement, there are infinite solutions (aka All Real Numbers)

(i) Write the expansion of (x + y)² and (x - y)². (ii) Find (x + y)² - (x - y)² (iii) Write 12 as the difference of two perfect
zaharov [31]

Answer:

1a (x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y²

1b. (x - y)² = x² - 2xy + y²

2. (x + y)² - (x - y)² = 4xy

3. 4² – 2² = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

1a. Expansion of (x + y)²

(x + y)² = (x + y)(x + y)

(x + y)² = x(x + y) + y(x + y)

(x + y)² = x² + xy + xy + y²

(x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y²

1b. Expansion of (x - y)²

(x - y)² = (x - y)(x - y)

(x - y)² = x(x - y) - y(x - y)

(x - y)² = x² - xy - xy + y²

(x - y)² = x² - 2xy + y²

2. Determination of (x + y)² - (x - y)²

This can be obtained as follow

(x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y²

(x - y)² = x² - 2xy + y²

(x + y)² - (x - y)² = x² + 2xy + y² - (x² - 2xy + y²)

= x² + 2xy + y² - x² + 2xy - y²

= x² - x² + 2xy + 2xy + y² - y²

= 2xy + 2xy

= 4xy

(x + y)² - (x - y)² = 4xy

3. Writing 12 as the difference of two perfect square.

To do this, we shall subtract 12 from a perfect square to obtain a number which has a perfect square root.

We'll begin by 4

4² – 12

16 – 12 = 4

Find the square root of 4

√4 = 2

4 has a square root of 2.

Thus,

4² – 12 = 4

4² – 12 = 2²

Rearrange

4² – 2² = 12

Therefore, 12 as a difference of two perfect square is 4² – 2²

If a graph of y=-4x +2 were changed to a graph of y=-4x+5, how would the y- intercept change?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

So if y=-4x+2 was changed to y=-4x+5, then the y-intercept would increase by 3.

The y-intercept was (0,2) then it becomes (0,5) in the new line.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and the y-intercept is b.

Both of these equations given are in this form.

y=-4x+2 when compared to y=mx+b you see that m=-4 and b=2.

Since b=2 then the y-intercept is 2.

y=-4x+5 when compared to y=mx+b you see that m=-4 and b=5.

Since b=5 then the y-intercept is 5.

So if y=-4x+2 was changed to y=-4x+5, then the y-intercept would increase by 3.

100 points!!! Please full out all of these ASAP!!! Please show work!!!
Alex

Answer:

look below

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2 (x + 3)^2 - 2

Geometric figure:  parabola

Alternate forms:

y = 2 (x + 2) (x + 4)

y = 2 (x^2 + 6 x + 8)

-2 x^2 - 12 x + y - 16 = 0

Expanded form:

y = 2 x^2 + 12 x + 16

Roots:

x = -4

x = -2

<u>Properties as a real function: </u>

Domain - R (all real numbers)

Range - {y element R : y>=-2}

Partial derivatives:

d/dx(2 (x + 3)^2 - 2) = 4 (x + 3)

d/dy(2 (x + 3)^2 - 2) = 0

Implicit derivatives:

(dx(y))/(dy) = 1/(12 + 4 x)

(dy(x))/(dx) = 4 (3 + x)

Global minimum:

min{2 (x + 3)^2 - 2} = -2 at x = -3
