<h2>Steps:</h2>

So for this, we will be applying the <u>difference of squares</u> rule, which is $x^2-y^2=(x+y)(x-y)$ . In this case:

$\sqrt{4x^2}=2x\\\sqrt{25}=5\\\\4x^2-25=(2x+5)(2x-5)$

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>In short, your answer is A. (2x + 5)(2x - 5).</u>

Answer:

A. (2x + 5)(2x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor out the polynomial given.

(4x² - 25) = (2x - 5)(2x + 5)

Check: Use the FOIL method.

(2x)(2x) = 4x²

(2x)(5) = 10x

(2x)(-5) = -10x

(-5)(5) = -25

Simplify. Combine like terms: 4x² + 10x - 10x - 25 = 4x² - 25

A. (2x + 5)(2x - 5) is your answer

The parent function f(x) = x3 is transformed to g(x) = (x – 1)3 + 4. Identify the graph of g(x).

Dominik [7]

we have $f(x)=x^3$ which is a cubic function.

and $=(x-1)^3+4$ .

from f(x) and g(x) we know that both are cubic and g(x) has shrink of 1 and up by 4 units in x axis .

The sum of a number, 1/6 of that number, 2 1/2 of that number, and 7 is 12 1/2. Find the number.

Tema [17]

Answer:

2 $\frac{1}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question state that; the sum of a number, 1/6 of that number, 2 1/2 of that number, and 7 is 12 1/2. Find the number.

First, we need to interpret and represent this statement mathematically

Let n be the number.

The sum means 'addition'

1/6 of that number is 1/6 of n = 1/6 × n = $\frac{n}{6}$

2 1/2 of that number is 2 1/2 of n = 2 1/2 × n = 5/2 × n = $\frac{5n}{2}$

So the question says that, when we add; $\frac{n}{6}$ , $\frac{5n}{2}$ and 7 all together, the value is 12 1/2

That is;

$\frac{n}{6}$ + $\frac{5n}{2}$ + 7 = 12 1/2

$\frac{n}{6}$ + $\frac{5n}{2}$ + 7 = $\frac{25}{2}$ ( changing 12 1/2 to improper fraction will give $\frac{25}{2}$ )

So we can now go ahead and solve for n

$\frac{n}{6}$ + $\frac{5n}{2}$ + 7 = $\frac{25}{2}$

subtract 7 from both-side of the equation

$\frac{n}{6}$ + $\frac{5n}{2}$ = $\frac{25}{2}$ - 7

$\frac{n + 15n}{6}$ = $\frac{25 -14}{2}$

$\frac{16n}{6}$ = $\frac{11}{2}$

$\frac{16n}{6}$ can be reduced to give us $\frac{8n}{3}$

$\frac{8n}{3}$ = $\frac{11}{2}$

Cross multiply

8n × 2 = 11× 3

16n = 33

Divide both-side of the equation by 16

$\frac{16n}{16}$ = $\frac{33}{16}$

(On the left-hand side of the equation, 16 will cancel-out 16 leaving us with just, while on the right-hand side of the equation 33 will be divided by 16)

n = $\frac{33}{16}$ = $2\frac{1}{16}$

Therefore the number is $2\frac{1}{16}$
