Indicate by true or false whether the following equation is quadratic. (x + 3)(x - 4) = 8

1 answer:

8 0

You can tell by looking at the problem that it will be quadratic, as the highest exponent x will have is two, but if you want to work it out follow these steps:

Original Equation (x + 3)(x - 4) = 8

Distribute x^2+3x-4x-12=8

Combine like terms. x^2-x-12=8

Subtract 8 from both sides x^2-x-20=0 or y

Your final equation is y=x^2-x-20, and you can see that the highest exponent for the x is 2, so the equation is quadratic.

What is the 100th term in the list?1017243138

Studentka2010 [4]

the sequence starts at 10 and increases by 7 each time, thefore a possible sequence identification is:

$\begin{gathered} a_n=7n+3 \\ \text{Let's verify:} \\ a_1=7(1)+3=7+3=10 \\ a_2=7(2)+3=14+3=17 \\ a_3=7(3)+3=21+3=24 \\ \text{and so on} \\ \text{.} \\ \text{.} \\ \text{.} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the 100th term is:

$a_{100}=7(100)+3=700+3=703$

Answer:

13mph

Step-by-step explanation:

you must multiply both fractions by the reciprocal of 1/65 which is 65/1

(1/5 * 65/1) / (1/65 * 65/1)

(65/5) / (65/65)

13/ 1

13/1 = 13
