Answer:

$\boxed{d.\:\:\:9(5x+4)(5x-4)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$225x^2-144$

We rewrite to obtain;

$=(15x)^2-12^2$

Recall that;

$a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$

We apply the difference of two squares formula to obtain;

$=(15x+12)(15x-12)$

We factor further to obtain;

$=3(5x+4)\times3(5x-4)$

This will give us;

$=9(5x+4)(5x-4)$

Ans:

Option d. 9(5x+4)(5x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an expression 225x² - 144 and we have to write it in factored form

225x² - 144

taking 9 common in the above expression

9(25x² - 16)

25x² can be written as (5x)² and 16 as 4²

9((5x)² - 4²)

(5x)² - 4² = (5x+4)(5x-4)

<em>using formula a² - b² = (a+b)(a-b)</em>

9(5x+4)(5x-4) is the solution

Find the inverse of the function

lozanna [386]

as you already know, to get the inverse of any expression we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables and then solving for "y", let's do so.

$\stackrel{h(x)}{y}~~ = ~~6\sqrt[3]{2x+5}-1\implies \stackrel{\textit{quick switcheroo}}{x~~ = ~~6\sqrt[3]{2y+5}-1} \\\\\\ x+1=6\sqrt[3]{2y+5}\implies \cfrac{x+1}{6}=\sqrt[3]{2y+5}\implies \left( \cfrac{x+1}{6} \right)^3=\left( \sqrt[3]{2y+5} \right)^3$

$\left( \cfrac{x+1}{6} \right)^3=2y+5\implies \left( \cfrac{x+1}{6} \right)^3-5=2y\implies \cfrac{\left( \frac{x+1}{6} \right)^3-5}{2}=y \\\\\\ \cfrac{\left( \frac{x+1}{6} \right)^3}{2}-\cfrac{5}{2}=y\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{(x+1)^3}{6^3}~~}{2}-\cfrac{5}{2}=y\implies \cfrac{(x+1)^3}{432}-\cfrac{5}{2}=\stackrel{y}{h^{-1}(x)}$

The graph shows how the mass of copper

Alex777 [14]

Answer: 8 1/4g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the graph :

The rate of change in the mass of copper with respect to volume :

To obtain this, we find the slope or gradient of the graph:

Gradient = Δy / Δx = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Drawing a right angled triangle on the anybpart of the line of best fit:

y2 = 40 ; x2 = 4.75 ; y1 = 16 ; x1 = 2

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

= (40 -16) / (4.75 - 2)

= 24 / 2.75

= 2400/275

= 8.727 g/cm^3

Due to unit and graph scale,, the slope is closest to 8 1/4g/cm³
