So we notice that is the special factorization known as 'the difference of two perfect squares'
exg
a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b) so
x^4=(x^2)^2 and 1=1^2 so
(x^2)^2-(1)^2=(x^2-1)(x^2+1)

Use the difference of squares factorization - that for any numbers a and b, (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2.

We have:

(x^2+1)(x^2-1)=x^4-1

In addition:

(x-1)(x+1)=x^2-1, so we have:

(x^2+1)(x+1)(x-1)

As our complete factorization.

Question 17
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

698 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, we can represent an exponential growth function as;

y = a•(1 + r)^t

originally, there were 3 fishes

The original value in this case means a = 3

After 6 weeks, there were 31

31 in this case is y

r is the increase percentage or rate

t is the time

So, we have it that;

31 = 3•(1 + r)^6

31/3 = (1 + r)^6

10.33 = (1 + r)^6

ln 10.33 = 6 ln (1 + r)

ln 10.33/6 = ln (1 + r)

e^0.3892 = (1 + r)

1 + r = 1.476

r = 1.476-1

r = 0.476 or 47.6%

So the growth percentage or rate is 47.6%

For 14 weeks, we simply have the value of t as 14;

So ;

y = 3•(1 + 0.476)^14

y = 3(1.476)^14

y = 698 fishes

1800 gal converts to 7200 quarts, and divide that by 60 you get 120 quarts of water per second.

At a surf shop in Malibu, California, a used blue surfboard is on sale for $100. According to the salesperson, the new price rep
Leokris [45]

Answer:

$125

Step-by-step explanation:

if there was a discount of 20%, the sales price is 100 - 20 = 80% of the original price

let a = original price

this equation can be used to represent the question

a x 0.8 = 100 ]]divide both sides by 0.8

a = 100 / 0.8 = 125

{(-9,3) (5,-6) (3,-1), (-6,5), ?}Which ordered pair can replace the missing value and make the set if ordered pairs NOT a functi
Nookie1986 [14]
\text{Slope}=\frac{-1--6}{3-5}=\frac{5}{-2}\begin{gathered} y-y_1=\frac{5}{-2}(x-x_1) \\  \\ y--6=\frac{5}{-2}(x-5) \\  \\ -2(y+6)=5(x-5) \\ -2y-12=5x-25 \\ 5x+2y=25-12 \\ 5x+2y=13 \end{gathered}

The missing values are (-6, -9) ( The last option)

Explanation:

x= - 6 has already produced the value of y as 5, the only pair in the given option the make the given ordered pairs NOT to be a function is (-6, -9) since it will give the value of y to be - 9.
