Answer:

a = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

Divide -8 from both sides:

(-8a)/-8 = (24)/-8

a = 24/-8

a = -3

a = -3 is your answer.

Explain why the polynomial 100x^2 + 150x + 49 is not a perfect square.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: The correct answer is Choice C.

For this polynomial to be a perfect square, it would need to be:
(10x + 7)^2

This will ensure that the first terms and the last terms will be 100x^ and 49. However, if you use foil to multiply the factors, you will not get 150x for the center term. Choice C also states that 150x will not be the middle term.
