Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
125 = 5 *5 * 5 = 5³
8 = 2 * 2 *2 = 2³
125x⁶ - 8 = 5³(x²)³ - 2³
= (5x²)³ - 2³ { a³ - b³ = (a -b)(a² + ab + b²)
= (5x² - 2) ([5x²]² + 5x²*2 + 2²)
= (5x² - 2)(25x⁴ + 10x² + 4)
Hint: (5x²)² = 5² * (x²)² = 25* x²ˣ² = 25x⁴
This question is far easier to understand if we draw it out. I've included an image attachment to help show the relationships of the measurements. As we can see from the image, their positioning helps form a triangle that we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the connection range.
The Theorem is

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.





So the answer to the nearest meter is 55 meters.
9/10 + 8/100
9/10 + 2×4/25×4
Common denominator is 50.
9/10 + 2/25.
5×9/5×10 + 2×2/2×25
45/50 + 4/50
= 49/50
You want to know how long it'll take for the bacteria to grow
to (800/500) = 1.6 times their initial population.
The number of double-times it'll take is
[ log(1.6) / (log(2) ] = 0.6781 .
The double-time for these particular critters is 12 hours,
so it'll take them
0.6781 x 12 hours = 8.137 hours
= 8 hours 8.2 minutes .
