A student is asked to calculate the value of 212 − 132 using the identity x2 − y2 = (x − y)(x + y). The student's steps are show

n below. Step 1: 212 − 132 = (a − b)(a + b) Step 2: = (c)(d) Step 3: = (8)(30) + 8(4) Step 4: = 240 + 32 Step 5: = 272 What are the values of a, b, c, and d?

(c)*(d)=8*30+8*4=8*34,=>
c=8
d=34
a+b>a-b, =>a+b=d, a-b=c; =>
{a+b=34
{a-b=8, =>a=b+8 ;
(b+8)+b=34
2b=34-8
b=13
a=13+8=21

Answer: a=21; b=13; c=8; d=34.

2x+5y=12
anastassius [24]
Y = -3x - 1......so we sub in -3x - 1 in for y in the other equation

2x + 5y = 12
2x + 5(-3x - 1) = 12....now distribute the 5 through the parenthesis
2x - 15x - 5 = 12...add 5 to both sides
2x - 15x = 12 + 5..combine like terms
-13x = 17...divide both sides by -13
x = -17/13
now sub in -17/13 for x in the other equation
y = -3x - 1
y = -3(-17/13) - 1
y = 51/13 - 1
y = 51/13 - 13/13
y = 38/13

so the solution is (-17/13, 38/13)

You would have to solve this by Lxwxh.

25.4*19.05*76.2= 36870.89 centimeters

1 in= 2.54 centimeters

36870.89 centimeters*1 in/2.54 centimeters= 14516.09843 inches.

I hope this is helpful :)

A regression equation is obtained for a collection of paired data. It is found that the total variation is 20.711 , the explaine
galben [10]

Answer:

0.898

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the Coefficient of determination = ratio of explained variation to Total variation

From the above question, we have the following values

Explained variation = 18.592

Total variation = 20.711

The coefficient of determination = 18.592 : 20.711

= 18.592/20.711

= 0.8976872194

Approximately ≈ 0.898

Therefore, the coefficient of determination is 0.898

Given the function f(x) = x3 + 2x2 − 3x − 5, what is resulting function when f(x) is shifted to the right 1 unit?
cluponka [151]
When shifted to the right 1 unit it would be:
f(x - 1) = (x - 1)^3 + 2(x - 1)^2 - 3(x - 1) - 5 
<span>= (x^3 - 3x^2 + 3x - 1) + 2(x^2 - 2x + 1) - 3(x - 1) - 5 </span>
<span>= x^3 - 3x^2 + 2x^2 + 3x - 4x - 3x - 1 + 2 + 3 - 5 </span>
<span>= x^3 - x^2 - 4x - 1 
</span>I hope this helps
