Which situation can be represented by the inequality 4x − 25 < 125?

1 answer:

8 0

First add 25 to both sides of the inequality.
You get 4x < 150
Now divide both sides by 4.
You get x < 37.5
So x can be anything less than 37.5, such as 36, 35 or 34.

Which of the following would best be solved using factoring the difference of squares? 2² + 3x - 10 = 0 O 3r² + 12x = 8 2³ +52²

IgorC [24]

Given: Different equations

To Determine: Which would be best solved using difference of two squares

Solution

The factorization of a difference of two squares is given below

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

Let us examine each of the given equation

$\begin{gathered} x^2+3x-10=0 \\ x^2-2x+5x-10=0 \\ x(x-2)+5(x-2)=0 \\ (x-2)(x+5)=0 \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} 3x^2+12x=8 \\ 3x^2+12x-8=0 \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} x^3+5x^2-9x-45=0 \\ x^2(x+5)-9(x+5)=0 \\ (x+5)(x^2-9)=0 \\ x^2-9=x^2-3^2=(x+3)(x-3) \\ Therefore \\ (x+5)(x+3)(x-3)=0 \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} x^2-25=0 \\ x^2-5^2=0 \\ (x+5)(x-5)=0 \end{gathered}$

From the above,

$\begin{gathered} x^3+5x^2-9x-45=0 \\ AND \\ x^2-25=0 \end{gathered}$

The two equation above can be solved by difference of two square, but the equation below is the easiest solved using differnce of two square

x² - 25 = 0

The news listed that the al?rage price Of a gallon Of gasoline

Virty [35]

Answer:

b. between $3.04 and $3.36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Price of 1 gallon of gasoline = $3.20

Margin of Error = 5%

We have to find out average cost of gallon of gasoline.

For this, we have to find out 5% of the price of gasoline. Which is calculated by dividing 5 by 100 and then multiply it by 3.20.

Amount of margin of error = $\frac{5}{100}\times3.20 = 0.16$

Hence The margin of error is ±, So we will subtract the amount of margin of error with actual amount of 1 gallon of gasoline. Also we will add the amount of margin of error with actual amount of 1 gallon of gasoline.

Margin of error 1 = $3.20-0.16= \$3.04$
