Answer:

(x-1)² = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x)=x²−2x−2

Completing x²−2x−2 = 0 to square

  • x²−2x − 2=0
  • x²−2x + 1 - 3 =0
  • (x - 1)² - 3 = 0
  • (x - 1)² = 3

Correct choice is D

Angie makes a spicy salsa by adding red pepper flakes to a chunky tomato mix in proportional amounts. For example she mixes 1/2
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Please read the answer below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's represent the relationship between red pepper flakes, in teaspoons, to tomato mix, in cups in a table

Red pepper (teaspoons)   1/2    1    1 1/2   2  2 1/2   3  3 1/2   4  4 1/2   5      

Tomato mix (cups)              2     4       6     8    10     12   14     16   18    20

2. Let's represent the relationship between red pepper flakes, in teaspoons, to tomato mix, in cups writing a equation:

t = amount of tomato mix cups

r = amount of red pepper flakes teaspoons

As we can see in the table,

<u>t = 4r</u>

Find four consecutive numbers whose sum equals 218
Softa [21]

Answer: 53, 54, 55, and 56

Step-by-step explanation: This problem states that the sum of 4 consecutive numbers is 218 and it asks us to find the numbers.

4 consecutive numbers can be represented as followed.

X ⇒ <em>first number</em>

X + 1 ⇒ <em>second number</em>

X + 2 ⇒ <em>third number</em>

X + 3 ⇒ <em>fourth number</em>

Since the sum of our 4 consecutive numbers is 218, we can set up an equation to represent this.

X + X + 1 + X + 2 + X + 3 = 218

On the left side of the equation, we can combine our x's and our numbers.

4x + 6 = 218

      -6     -6   ← <em><u>subtract 6 from both sides of the equation</u></em>

4x = 212

÷4    ÷4   ← <u><em>divide both sides of the equation by 4</em></u>

 <u>X = 53</u>

<u />

X ⇒ <em>first number   = 53</em>

X + 1 ⇒ <em>second number   = 54</em>

X + 2 ⇒ <em>third number   = 55</em>

X + 3 ⇒ <em>fourth number   = 56</em>

<em />

<em>Therefore, our 4 consecutive numbers are </em><em>53</em><em>, </em><em>54</em><em>, </em><em>55</em><em>, and </em><em>56</em><em>.</em>

Negative5 to the negative2 power is what? How do you figure out a negative power?
Paraphin [41]
<span>Scientific NotationDate: 09/16/97 at 00:42:42 From: Aubin Subject: Scientific notation How do you do this problem? I don't understand how you're supposed to get the answer: 5x10 to the 3rd power = 5,000 5x10 to the -3rd power = -5,000 Is this correct? <span>Date: 11/03/97 at 09:56:46 From: Doctor Pipe Subject: Re: Scientific notation Aubin, The first part of what you wrote is correct; 5x10 to the 3rd power = 5,000. The second part is not correct. Writing a negative exponent, such as 10^-3 (read that as ten to the minus third power) is the same as writing 1/(10^3) (read that as one over ten to the third power). Notice that the exponent is negative when writing 10^-3 and positive when writing 1/(10^3) - yet the two numbers are equal. Remember that any number to the zeroeth power, say 10^0, is equal to 1. 10^0 = 1; 5^0 = 1; 275^0 = 1. Remember also that when multiplying two numbers written as base^exponent, if the base in both numbers is equal then we add together the exponents: 10^5 x 10^6 = 10^(5+6) = 10^11. If we have a number 10^5, what number do we multiply it by to get 1? Well, 10^5 x 10^(-5) = 10^(5 + (-5)) = 10^0 = 1. So if 10^5 x 10^(-5) = 1 then 10^(-5) = 1 / 10^5 So, since 10^3 = 1,000 then 10^(-3) = 1/(10^3) = 1/1,000 = 0.001 . It follows from this that: 5x10 to the -3rd power = 5 x 10^(-3) = 5 x 0.001 = 0.005 . The reason for this can be seen by examining what numbers to the right of the decimal point represent. You know what numbers to the left of the decimal point represent: the units digit represents the numeral times 10^0 (any number to the 0th power is 1), the tens digit represents the numeral times 10^1, the hundreds digit represents the numeral times 10^2, and so on. Well, to the right of the decimal point, the tenths digit represents the numeral times 10^-1, the hundredths digit represents the numeral times 10^-2, the thousandths digit represents the numeral times 10^-3, and so on. It's important to understand exponents because exponents allow us to extend the range of numbers that we can work with by allowing us to easily write and work with very large and very small numbers. It's so much easier to write: 10^23 then to write: 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Or to write: 10^(-23) instead of: 0.00000000000000000000001</span></span>
