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! :)

This helicopter has a rotor that moves at a rate of 600 spins per minute while flying. Which statement is supported by this info
jeka57 [31]

Answer: d. The helicopter rotor will spin 36,000 times in 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is wrong because in 40 minutes the rotor will spin:

= 40 * 600

= 24,000 times

Option B is wrong because we cannot know the number of times the rotor will spin before being lifted off of the ground with the details given.

Option C is wrong because in 3 hours the rotor will spin:

= 600 * 3 * 60 minutes

= 108,000 times

Option D is correct because in 1 hour the rotor will spin:

= 600 * 1 * 60 mins

= 36,000 times
