So the question is asking: (x-4)(x-2)
because there is a bracket in between the two expressions it means we have to multiply them together: (x-4) x (x-2)
you can break down the question into smaller parts:
x multiply x
x multiply -2
-4 multiply x
-4 multiply -2
here are the answers:
x^2 (means x squared)
-2x
-4x
8 (because when you multiply two negative numbers it makes a positive)
now you put it into an expression (this is expanding):
x^2 - 2x - 4x + 8
to simplify it you collect like terms:
x^2 - 6x + 8
The above is the answer :)
Answer:
(a) x = 
(b) x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
A. sum of angles in a polygon = (n - 2) 180
The polygon given is an irregular pentagon, where n = 5
So that;
sum of angles in a pentagon = (5 - 2) 180
= 3 x 180
= 
Thus,
x + 90 + 76 + 110 + 136 = 
x + 412 = 
x =
- 412
x = 
B. The polygon given is an irregular pentagon, where n = 5.
Let the supplementary angle with angle 38 be represented by y,
y + 38 = 180
y = 180 - 38
= 
y = 
Let the supplementary angle with x be represented by z, so that;
z + 72 + 120 + 100 + 142 = 
z + 434 = 
z =
- 434
= 
z = 
But, x + z = 
Then;
x +
= 
x =
- 
= 
x = 
Answer:
1. C
2. D
3. C
Explanation:
1. Girls = 12 plus twice the number of boys, so C. y = 12 + 2x.
2. You have to see which point has the second value being greater than the first value:
A) -1 > -2 is not true
B) 0 > 1 is not true
C) 2 > 3 is not true
D) 8 > 4 is true, so it's D
3. Add the two values and see if it's less than 5
A) -1-4 < 5 is true
B) 0 + 4 < 5 is true
C) 1 + 7 < 5 is not true, so this is the answer
D) 2 + 2 < 5 is true
See the attached image for the graph. Specifically figure 2 is the graph you want. You can leave the red points on the graph or decide to erase them (leave behind the blue line though).
To generate each of the red points, you'll plug in various x values to get corresponding y values.
For instance, plug in x = 0 and we get...
y = -|x-6| - 6
y = -|0-6| - 6
y = -|-6| - 6
y = -6 - 6
y = -12
So when x = 0, the y value is -12. The x and y value pair up to get (x,y) = (0,-12)
Another example: plug in x = 2
y = -|x-6| - 6
y = -|2-6| - 6
y = -|-4| - 6
y = -4 - 6
y = -10
So the point (2,-10) is on the graph
The idea is to generate as many points as possible so we get an idea of what this thing looks like.
Generate enough points, and you'll get what you see in Figure 1 (see attached image)
Then draw a line through all of the points. The more points you use, the more accurate the drawing. Doing that will generate the blue function curve you see in Figure 2 (also attached)
