The sum of two numbers is 40 and their difference is 6.5, what is their product? show work please

1 answer:

4 0

Let b>a,

a+b=40 so we can say a=40-b

We are told that b-a=6.5, using a found above in the equation gives us:

b-(40-b)=6.5

b-40+b=6.5

2b-40=6.5

2b=46.5

b=23.25, and since a=40-b

a=40-23.25

a=16.75

So a=16.75 and b=23.25

check...

16.75+23.25=40, 40=40

23.25-16.75=6.5, 6.5=6.5

Which expression can be expanded using the binomial theorem?

kirill [66]

Answer:

The third choice: (x² - 1)³

Step-by-step explanation:

That is the only expression that is a binomial. Binomial means "two numbers". For this expression, x² is one number, and -1 is the other. Choice 1 is a monomial (one number) and choices 2 and 4 are trinomials (three numbers)

What number is to 100 as 4 is to 78

vitfil [10]

Hello,

4 is to 78 as x is to 100, we write it as a ratio:

$\frac{4}{78}= \frac{x}{100} \\ \\ x= \frac{100*4}{78} \\ \\ \boxed{x= \frac{200}{39}=5.13}$
