Hint: "4x 2 - 25 = 0" is nearly meaningless. You want 4x^2 - 25 = 0.

Note that both 4x^2 and 25 are perfect squares, so this is the difference of two squares, and is equal to (2x-5)(2x+5)= 0.

There is a small subset of polynomials whos factorizations mathematicians like to label "special." From an outside perspective, nothing seems to be different about these polynomials. You can use the same algorithm you use to find any other factorization, but you could also form a general statement about polynomials like this.

This polynomial is in the form a^2-b^2. We can factor this normally.

-b and b add to 0 and multiply to -b^2, so:

a^2+ab-ab-b^2=\\ a(a+b)-b(a-b)=\\ (a-b)(a+b)

So, we've factored this quadratic like we would any other, but we also notice something interesting about all quadratics in this form. In this example,

a^2=4x^2\\ b^2=25

That means

a=2x\\ b=5

So we can say that the factorization of the quadratic is:

(2x-5)(2x+5)

XYZ has coordinates X(2, 3), Y(1,4), and Z(8,9). A translation maps X to X'(4,7). What are the coordinates for Y' and Z' for thi
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The coordinates are Y'(x,y) = (3, 8) and Z'(x,y) = (10, 13).

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to derive an expression for translation under the assumption that each point of XYZ experiments the same translation. Vectorially speaking, translation from X to X' is defined by:

X'(x,y) = X(x,y) + T(x,y) (1)

Where T(x,y) is the vector translation.

If we know that X(x,y) = (2,3) and X'(x,y) = (4,7), then the vector translation is:

T(x,y) = X'(x,y)-X(x,y)

T(x,y) = (4,7) - (2,3)

T(x,y) = (2, 4)

Then, we determine the coordinates for Y' and Z':

Y'(x,y) = Y(x,y) + T(x,y)

Y'(x,y) = (1,4) + (2,4)

Y'(x,y) = (3, 8)

Z'(x,y) = Z(x,y) + T(x,y)

Z'(x,y) =(8,9) + (2,4)

Z'(x,y) = (10, 13)

The coordinates are Y'(x,y) = (3, 8) and Z'(x,y) = (10, 13).

Can I have help with this, I have drawn out a graph and marked my points so far.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

D. 2x²

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so the first thing to do is remember the first number in parentheses is x, and the second number is y.

You're trying to figure out which expression turns x into y in each set.

Just by plugging in the numbers into each expression I found that the answer is 2x².

I'll prove this starting with (1, 2).

1² = 1  

2 x 1 = 2

So, y = 2x²!

Next, (2, 8).

2² = 4

2 x 4 = 8

So, y = 2x²!

I'm not going to demonstrate with the other two but I hope you understand. Just plug the values of x and y into the equation and see which is correct.
