What is it? The question?
Answer: option D. 2x^2 + (3/2)x - 5
Explanation:
1) polynomials given:
f(x) = x/2 - 2 and g(x) = 2x^2 + x - 3
2) question: find (f + g) (x)
That means that f(x) + g(x), so you have to add up the two polynomials given.
3) x/2 - 2 + 2x^2 + x - 3
4) Combine like terms:
a) terms with x^2: you only have 2x^2, so it is not combined with other term.
b) terms with x: x/2 + x
that is a sum of fractions: x/2 + x = [x + 2x] / 2 = 3x / 2 = (3/2)x
c) constant terms: - 2 + (-3) = - 2 - 3 = - 5
5) Result: 2x^2 + (3/2)x - 5
That is the option d.
Cuboid C is 4 and 4. Cuboid D is 2 and 4.
I believe the correct answer is greater than
The previous answer from another person got deleted, so I'm here to put it back in my own words.
(Edit: The answer is A)
First of all, you can take 4 out of each, so simplify everything by 4.
4(x^4 - 6x^3 + 9x^2)
Next, you can see that you're able to take out x^2
4x^2(x^2 - 6x + 9)
You can see that both x^2 and 9 are perfect squares, meaning you can crunch them together like this
(x+3)^2 or (x-3)^2
Of course, only one would work, and as fate has it, (x-3)^ produces x^2 - 6x + 9
This would turn the now factored equation into :
4x^2(x-3)^2 or 4x^2(x-3)(x-3), this means the answer is A
