A student is asked to calculate the value of 752 − 702 using the identity x2 − y2 = (x − y)(x + y). The student's steps are show

n below.
Step 1: 752 − 702 = (75 − 70)(75 + 70)

Step 2: = (5)(155)

Step 3: = (5)(150) + 5(5)

Step 4: = 750 + 25

Step 5: = 775

The correct answer should be 725. In which step did the student make his first error?

Step 2, 5*155= 775,which means the steps after that would make the answer even more variable

3 (5 + 6)
ELEN [110]

Hi there!

Distributive property are two big words that basically just mean you need to distribute the 3 to the whole parentheses. This means you need to multiply 5 by 3 and also 6 by 3.

3 × 5 = 15

3 × 6 = 18


Now that you've distributed the 3 to the entire parentheses, you just need to add together both answers you got :

15 + 18 = 33


Your answer is: 33


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

A dish tv satellite dish is the shape of a paraboloid. the dish is 36 inches wide, and 8 inches deep. how many inches should the
MrRa [10]
Refer to the diagram shown below. It shows a vertical cross-section of the paraboloid through its axis of symmetry.

Let the vertex of the parabola be at the origin. Then its equation is of the form
y = bx²

Because the parabola passes through (18,8), therefore
8 = b(18²)
b = 0.02469
The parabola is y = 0.02469x².

The receiver should be placed at the focal point of the paraboloid for optimal reception.
The y-coordinate of the focus is
a = 1/(4b) = 1/0.098765 = 10.125 in

Answer: The receiver is located at 10.125 inches from the vertex.

Match each pair of points to the equation of the line that is parallel to the line passing through the points.
Tanya [424]
If we identify the lines by ...
  1. y = -0.5x -3
  2. y = -3.5x -15
  3. y = 5x +19
  4. y = 1.25x +4

Then the matches are ...
  BC - 2
  DE - 1
  FG - none
  HI - 4
  JK - none
  LM - 3

_____
Whenever there is a lot of repetitive math to do, I usually find it easier to let a calculator or spreadsheet do it. Here, the graphing calculator is computing the slope between the points. The slopes of parallel lines are the same.
