Answer:

(a + 1) (a − b − 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you're trying to factor the expression?  If so, use quadratic formula to find the roots.

a = [ -(-b) ± √((-b)² − 4(1)(-b−1)) ] / 2(1)

a = [ b ± √(b² + 4b + 4) ] / 2

a = [ b ± (b + 2) ] / 2

a = -1 or b + 1

(a − (-1)) (a − (b + 1))

(a + 1) (a − b − 1)

aivan3 [116]

Answer: 9m^3 of soil with 50% clay and 2m^3 of soil with 28% clay is required

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the quantity of the soil containing 50% clay that you would use.

Let y represent the quantity of the soil containing 28% clay that you would use.

To build the garden of your dreams you need 11 m^3 of soil.

x + y = 11 - - - - - - - - -1

Since the soil must contain 46% clay, the total amount of clay required is 46/100 × 11 = 5.06 m^3.

you have two types of soil you can combine to achieve this: soil with 50% clay and soil with 28% clay. This means that the quantity of both soils required to achieve 5.06 m^3 will be

0.5x + 0.28y = 5.06 - - - - - - - -2

Substituting x = 11 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.5(11 - y) + 0.28y = 5.06

5.5 - 0.5y + 0.28y = 5.06

- 0.5y + 0.28y = 5.06 - 5.5

- 0.22y = - 0.44

y = - 0.44/ -0.22 = 2

Substituting y = 2 into x = 11 - y, it becomes

x = 11 - 2 = 9

Brian spends
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Brian have £105 left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount earned by Brian per week = £168

Fraction spent on rent = 1/8

Amount spent on rent = 1/8 x 168

Amount spent on rent = £42

Fraction spent on food = 1/8

Amount spent on food = 1/8 x 168

Amount spent on food = £21

Amount left = Amount earned - amount spent on rent - amount spent on food

Amount left = 168 - 42 - 21

Amount left = £105

Brian have £105 left.

I hope this helps you

Math help please (80 points)
Inga [223]

Answer:

1. x^4 -x^3 -4x^2 -3

a1 = -7.4

an = an-1 -13.8  (choice 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^4 -x^2 +9

g(x) = x^3 +3x^2 +12

We are subtracting

f(x) -g(x) =x^4 -x^2 +9 - ( x^3 +3x^2 +12)

Distribute the minus sign

x^4 -x^2 +9 -  x^3 -3x^2 -12

I like to line them up vertically

x^4      -x^2 +9

-  x^3 -3x^2 -12

-------------------------

x^4 -x^3 -4x^2 -3


2.  a1 = -7.4

To find the common difference, take term 2 and subtract term 1

-21.2 - (-7.4)

-21.2 + 7.4

-13.8

an = an-1 -13.8
