4b^4=(2b^2)^2
144=(12)^2

(2b^2)^2-(12)^2=(2b^2-12)(2b^2+12)

So we need a perfect square. The "O" and "I" values in the FOIL method will cancel leaving you with an exponent and a negative integer. Look for the square root of both expressions.

4b^4 - 144 =
(2b^2 - 12)(2b^2 + 12)

3. Franklin has 5 red marbles, 16 black marbles, 3 miniature green balls, and 9 miniature yellow balls in a jar at home. What is

Korolek [52]

Answer:

12:16

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the miniature balls.

3 + 9 = 12

There are 16 black marbles in the jar.

Therefore, the ratio of miniature balls to the number of black marbles is 12:16.

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.

Bad White [126]

Answer:

$y = -\frac{2}{5} x-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line. Use the slope formula $m =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ . Pick two points on the line and substitute their x and y values into the formula, then solve. I used the points (-5,-4) and (0,-6):

$m = \frac{(-6)-(-4)}{(0)-(-5)} \\m = \frac{-6+4}{0+5} \\m = \frac{-2}{5} \\$

So, the slope of the line is $-\frac{2}{5}$ .

2) Next, use the point-slope formula $y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)$ to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. (From there, we can convert it to slope-intercept form.) Substitute values for the $m$ , $x_1$ and $y_1$ into the formula.

Since $m$ represents the slope, substitute $-\frac{2}{5}$ in its place. Since $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of one point on the line, pick any point on the line (any one is fine, it will equal the same thing at the end) and substitute its x and y values in those places. (I chose (0,-6), as seen below.) Then, with the resulting equation, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form:

$y-(-6) = -\frac{2}{5} (x-(0))\\y + 6 = -\frac{2}{5} x\\y = -\frac{2}{5} x-6$
