Answer:

For part A, the product of (-5 + x)(x + 4) is equal to x^2 - x - 20. For part B, the product of -5 + x and x + 4 is not equal to the product of 5 + x and x - 4. And for part C the product of (3 + 5)(3^2 + 4 - 3) equals 70.

Step-by-step explanation:

I will tell you how I came up with those answers.

The product of (-5 + x)(x + 4) can be found using the<em> FOIL</em> method(First, Outer, Inner, Last).

Start with multiplying -5 and x. -5 * x = -5x.

Now multiply -5 and 4.  -5 * 4 = -20.

Next, multiply x and x.  x * x = x^2.

Finally, multiply x and 4.  x * 4 = 4x.

And now it is time to simplify and change to standard form.

-5x - 20 + x^2 + 4x.

x^2 - 5x - 20 + 4x.

x^2 - 5x + 4x - 20.

x^2 - x - 20.

The final answer for part A is x^2 - x - 20.

For part B, the product of -5 + x and x + 4 is already known.

But now we need to figure out the product of 5 + x and x - 4.

We can use the FOIL method again to solve for the new product.

Start by multiplying 5 and x.  5 * x = 5x.

Next, multiply 5 and -4.  5 * -4 = -20.

Now multiply x and x.  x * x = x^2.

Finally, multiply x and -4.  x * -4 = -4x.

And now we can simplify and arrange the terms into standard form.

5x - 20 + x^2 - 4x.

x^2 + 5x - 20 - 4x.

x^2 + 5x - 4x - 20.

x^2 + x - 20.

The final answer for part B is that the products of

(-5 + x)(x + 4) and (5 + x)(x - 4) are not equivalent. They look similar except the difference between them is the "x" value.  The x value of the first equation's product is -x while the x value of the second equation's product is x.

For part C, use the FOIL method as used in the last questions to find the answer.

2 * 3^2  =  2 * 9  =  18.

2 * 4  =  8.

2 * -3  =  -6.

5 * 3^2  =  5 * 9  =  45.

5 * 4  =  20.

5 * -3  =  -15.

Now combine the numbers to get the final answer for part C.

Follow PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction).

The only operations are subtraction and addition. The rule is the add before subtracting, but this does not always apply. For this being true, we only need to perform the first operation from the left side.

18 + 8 - 6 + 45 + 20 - 15.

26 - 6 + 45 + 20 - 15.

20 + 45 + 20 - 15.

65 + 20 - 15.

85 - 15.

70.

So the last answer to part C is 70.

Also the area of the rectangle is x^2 + 15x + 36. I forgot that part, my apologies.

It's 21 square units. If you map it on a complex plane (x-axis is real numbers, y-axis is imaginary numbers) you'll see that the sides of the rectangle is 3 and 7 which multiply to 21.

Pat's pizza sells pizzas for $9 plus .50 for each topping added to get the total cost of the pizza. Which is the dependent varia
sashaice [31]
The dependent variable is the cost of the pizza.

The Independent variable (or what you manipulate) is the toppings of the pizza, and the dependent variable (or what changes because you manipulated something) is the total cost of the pizza

A positive number divided by a positive number is a positive quotient it's opposite is always what?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

When you multiply two negative numbers or two positive numbers then the product is always positive. 3 times 4 equals 12. ... When you divide a negative number by a positive number then the quotient is negative. When you divide a positive number by a negative number then the quotient is also negative.
