How do you factor this polynomial expression?

Here's a rule that I learned from my algebra teacher almost 60 years ago. 
It's so handy, and I use it so often, that it's still fresh in my mind, and even
though it's so old, it still works !

In fact, it's so useful that it would be a great item for you to memorize
and keep in your math tool-box.

==> To factor the difference of two squares, write

         <em>(the sum of their square roots) </em>times<em> (the difference of their square roots)</em> .

That's exactly what you need to solve this problem.
I'll show you how it works:

             <u>9x² - 25</u>

You look at this for a few seconds, and you realize that
9x²  is the square of  3x , and  25  is the square of  5 .
So this expression is the difference of two squares,
and you can use the shiny new tool I just handed you.

The square roots are  3x  and  5 .

So the factored form of the polynomial is    <em>(3x + 5) (3x - 5)</em> .

That's all there is to it.  If you FOIL these factors out, you'll see
that you wind up with the original polynomial in the question.

3/4 x 3 2/5 - 5/5(find the value of each of the following) ​
Triss [41]

The value of the given expression is \frac{-13}{20}.

Solution:

Given expression is \frac{3}{4} \times3\frac{2}{5}-\frac{5}{5}.

Let us first convert mixed fraction into improper fraction.

3\frac{2}{5}=\frac{(3\times5)+2}{5}=\frac{17}{5}

Substitute this in the given expression.

\frac{3}{4} \times3\frac{2}{5}-\frac{5}{5}=\frac{3}{4} \times\frac{7}{15}-\frac{5}{5}

                  =\frac{21}{60}-\frac{5}{5}

To simplify the above expression, 21 and 60 are cancelled by 3.

                 =\frac{7}{20}-\frac{1}{1}

Do cross multiplication to make the denominator same.

                 =\frac{7}{20}-\frac{20}{20}

                 =\frac{7-20}{20}

                 =\frac{-13}{20}

The value of the given expression is \frac{-13}{20}.

Ashley earn 60 points every time she shops at a grocery store she needs a total of 2580 points to receive a prize so far she has
lutik1710 [3]
Answer: 35 more times
How: (if she gets 60 points for each grocery store visit then first do 2580-480=2100. she still needs 2100 points so then 2100/60 = 35 grocery visits!)
