(x-2)*(x+2) = x*(x+2) - 2*(x+2)

<span>(x-2)*(x+2) = x*x + x*2 - 2*x - 2*2
</span>
<span>(x-2)*(x+2) = x^2 + 2x - 2x - 4
</span>
<span>(x-2)*(x+2) = x^2 - 4
</span>
That's the long way to do it. You can use the difference of squares formula as a shortcut

(a-b)*(a+b) = a^2 - b^2

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

<span>(x-2)(x+2) = x^2 - 4
</span>
either way, the final answer is x^2 - 4

(X-2)(x+2)
So use "f.o.i.l" meaning you multiply each first term, the outside terms, the inside terms and last terms, and then add. You'd get x^2-4 in this example

William bought some tickets to see his favorite singer. He bought some adult tickets and some children’s tickets, for a total of
Fantom [35]
Set x as adult tickets.
Set y as children's tickets.
x + y = 15
30x + 20y = 270
Solve for x in the first equation.
x + y = 15
x = 15 - y
Plug this into the second equation.
30x + 20y = 270
30(15 - y) + 20y = 270
450 - 30y + 20y = 270
450 - 10y = 270
-10y = -180
y = 18
If there is 18 childrens tickets, there should be -3 adult tickets.
This is impossible, and this impossible answer occured because the question is written wrong.
There are a total of 15 tickets
The smallest costing ticket is the childrens ticket, which costs 20$.
If he only bought children tickets, this would be 20x15 which is 300$.
300$ is over 270$, which makes the question impossible.

vladimir1956 [14]
Year 1: 500 + 0.25*500 = 500 [1 + 0.25]

Year 2: 500*[ 1 + 0.25] * [1 + 0.25] = 500 [1 + 0.25]^2

Year x: 500 [1 + 0.25]^x

Option d: A(x) = 500[1 + .25]^x, where .25 is the interest rate

We have to find the expected value for the PlayBall lottery. 
The price of the ticket = $1
Prize amount = $250
If a player wins, he will be winning $249 as the price is not paid back along with the prize amount. He is spending $1, getting back $250, so the net amount he is getting back is $249.

Now we have to find the probability of winning and losing.

Number of letters from A to T = 20
Number of digits from 0 to 9 = 10

Probability of picking up the same letter that was picked on that day = 1/20
Probability of picking up the same number that was picked on that day = 1/10

Thus, the Probability of picking up the same letter and same number that was picked on that day = \frac{1}{20}* \frac{1}{10}= \frac{1}{200}

Thus, the probability of winning = 1/200

The probability of losing = 1- \frac{1}{200}=\frac{199}{200}

The expected value E for the PlayBall lottery will be:

E= \frac{1}{200}(249)- \frac{199}{200}(1) \\  \\ &#10;E= \frac{1}{4}  \\  \\ &#10;E=0.25

Thus, the option C gives the correct answer

X^2+y^2=25 find the distance of point (x,y) from origin​
storchak [24]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius is 5.

All I do was think of the center-radius form a circle

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

x^2     + y^2    =25

(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=5^2

The center is (0,0) and the radius is 5.

So a point on the circle (x,y) has a distance of 5 from the center

and the center's case here is (0,0).
