Answer: X = (
, 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
x(4x - 19) = 30
4x^2 - 19x = 30
4x^2 - 19x - 30 = 0
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
= 
= 6
=
= 
= -1.25
X = (, 6)
Answer:
f(x + 3) = x² + 3x - 2
General Formulas and Concepts:
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Expand by FOIL (First Outside Inside Last)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
f(x) = x² - 3x - 2
f(x + 3) is x = x + 3
<u>Step 2: Find</u>
- Substitute: f(x + 3) = (x + 3)² - 3(x + 3) - 2
- Expand by FOILing: f(x + 3) = x² + 6x + 9 - 3(x + 3) - 2
- Distribute 3: f(x + 3) = x² + 6x + 9 - 3x - 9 - 2
- Combine like terms: f(x + 3) = x² + 3x - 2
<span>binomial </span>is an algebraic expression containing 2 terms. For example, (x + y) is a binomial.
We sometimes need to expand binomials as follows:
(a + b)0 = 1
(a + b)1 = a + b
(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
(a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
<span>(a + b)4</span> <span>= a4 + 4a3b</span><span> + 6a2b2 + 4ab3 + b4</span>
<span>(a + b)5</span> <span>= a5 + 5a4b</span> <span>+ 10a3b2</span><span> + 10a2b3 + 5ab4 + b5</span>
Clearly, doing this by direct multiplication gets quite tedious and can be rather difficult for larger powers or more complicated expressions.
Pascal's Triangle
We note that the coefficients (the numbers in front of each term) follow a pattern. [This was noticed long before Pascal, by the Chinese.]
1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1
1 5 10 10 5 1
1 6 15 20 15 6 1
You can use this pattern to form the coefficients, rather than multiply everything out as we did above.
The Binomial Theorem
We use the binomial theorem to help us expand binomials to any given power without direct multiplication. As we have seen, multiplication can be time-consuming or even not possible in some cases.

Answer:
x = 48
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 9 = 153
subtract 9 from both sides -9 -9
3x = 144
divide both sides by 3 3x/3 = 144/3
2x + (x + 9) = 153
2(48) + (48 + 9) = 153
96 + 57 = 153
153 = 153
I'm taking this pre-test right now. I think the answer is "No, because sides JM and KL have different slopes from sides AD and BC."
After looking closely, it looks like JM and KL are slightly steeper lines than AD and BC.
