The question is looking for the coefficient to the first term after multiplying the two sets of parentheses together.

=(8z − 9)(8z + 9)
using the FOIL method, multiply the first, outside, inside, then last terms

=(8z*8z) + (8z*9) + (-9*8z) + (-9*9)
=64z^2 + 72z - 72z - 81
the middle two terms cancel each other (72-72= 0)
=64z^2 - 81

ANSWER: The value of a is 64

Hope this helps! :)

Vladimir says that the equation of the line that passes through points (negative 5, negative 3) and (10, 9) is y = four-fifths x
love history [14]

Answer:

Vladimir and Robyn both are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us check whether the points (-5,-3) and (10,9) are on the line y = \frac{4}{5}x + 1 or not.

The equation of the straight line passing through the given points (-5,-3) ans (10,9) is \frac{y - 9}{9 + 3} = \frac{x - 10}{10 + 5}

⇒ 5(y - 9) = 4(x - 10)

⇒ 5y = 4x + 5

⇒  y = \frac{4}{5}x + 1 .............. (1)

So, Vladimir is correct.

Now, Robyn says that the line passes through the points (-10,-7) and (-15,-11).

Then, both of the points satisfy the equation (1).

Therefore, Vladimir and Robyn both are correct. (Answer)

If a line of one billion people stretched 327,495 miles long, the average shoulder width of the people in the line is A feet. Ro
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

  1.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We presume you want to find A. And we presume the people are standing shoulder-to-shoulder.

  (327,495 mi)/(10^9 persons) = (3.27495×10^5 mi)/(10^9 persons) × (5280 ft/mi)

  = 1.7291736×10^9 ft/(10^9 persons)

  = 1.7292736 ft/person

  ≈ 1.7 ft/person

In the following figure, triangle ABC and triangle DEF are similar. What is the value of x ? Triangle ABC and triangle DEF are s
Shtirlitz [24]
X = 25.5 mm.

Using the similarity statement given, that ΔABC ~ ΔDEF, we set up a proportion:

8.5/x = 4/12

Cross multiply:
4*x = 8.5*12
4x = 102

Divide both sides by 4:
4x/4 = 102/4
x = 25.5
