Two sets of equatic expressions are shown below in various forms: Line 1: x2 + 3x + 2 (x + 1)(x + 2) (x + 1.5)2 − 0.25 Line 2: x
kherson [118]

Answer:  The correct line is

\textup{Line 1 :}x^2+3x+2=(x+1)(x+2)=(x+1.5)^2-0.25.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given the following two sets of quadratic expressions in various forms:

\textup{Line 1: }x^2+3x+2=(x+1)(x+2)=(x+1.5)^2-0.25,\\\\\textup{Line 2 :}x^2+5x+6=(x+2)(x+3)=(x+2.5)^2+6.25.

We are to select one of the lines from above that represent three equivalent expressions.

We can see that there are three different forms of a quadratic expression in each of the lines:

First one is the simplified form, second is the factorised form and third one is the vertex form.

So, to check which line is correct, we need to calculate the factorised form and the vertex form from the simplified form.

We have

\textup{Line 1: }\\\\x^2+3x+2\\\\=x^2+2x+x+2\\\\=x(x+2)+1(x+2)\\\\=(x+1)(x+2),

and

x^2+3x+2\\\\=x^2+2\times x\times 1.5+(1.5)^2-(1.5)^2+2\\\\=(x+1.5)^2-2.25+2\\\\=(x+1.5)^2-0.25.

So,

\textup{Line 1 :}x^2+3x+2=(x+1)(x+2)=(x+1.5)^2-0.25.

Thus, Line 1 contains three equivalent expressions.

Now,

\textup{Line 2: }\\\\x^2+5x+6\\\\=x^2+3x+2x+6\\\\=x(x+3)+2(x+3)\\\\=(x+2)(x+3),

and

x^2+5x+6\\\\=x^2+2\times x\times 2.5+(2.5)^2-(2.5)^2+6\\\\=(x+2.5)^2-6.25+6\\\\=(x+2.5)^2-0.25\neq (x+2.5)^2+6.25.

So,

\textup{Line 2 :}x^2+3x+2=(x+1)(x+2)=(x+1.5)^2+6.25.

Thus, Line 2 does not contain three equivalent expressions.

Hence, Line 1 is correct.

STatiana [176]
To get the answer you would:
Multiply 525 by 1.2             525*1.2=
which equals 630
then you would add 525 to 630       525+630=

So the answer would be:
1155

6a What is the Answer?
zavuch27 [327]

We have been provided a diagram which tells us that Patti drew vertical line segments from two points to the line in her scatter plot. The first point she selected was dwarf crocodile. The second point she selected was for an Indian Gharial crocodile.

We can see that dwarf crocodile's bite force is closer to line of best fit than Indian Gharial crocodile. Indian Gharial crocodile seems to be an outlier for our data set.

Therefore, Patti's line have resulted in a predicted bite force that was closer to actual bite force for the dwarf crocodile.
