Answer:
52 × 2 - 31 = 73
Step-by-step explanation:
Use PEMDAS
The way I remember is like this..
Please (Parentheses)
Excuse (Exponents)
My (Multiication)
Dear (Division)
Aunt (Addition)
Sally (Subtraction)
Multiply 52 × 2
which gives you 104.
Then subtract 31 from 101
and that will give you 73.
Let's try to simplify x^2 + 16. It's a sum of two squares:
x^2 + 16 = 0
x^2 = -16
The problem is, we can't take a square root of a negative. This is where imaginary numbers come in.
Remember that square roots have a plus or minus symbol outside:
±√-16 = ±4i
Our two roots are 4i and -4i. Therefore, the trinomial simplifies to:
(x + 4i)(x - 4i)
If we attempt to divide x + 4 by these two binomials, we will find that 4 and 4i are not like terms. Therefore, we can't simplify this expression.
Find the pattern. 184-164 gets you 20. so 84 - 20 is your answer
