Answer:
Factors for 8: 1, 2, 4, 8
Factors for 9: 1, 3, 9
So 8 has more factors
Answer:
-4 or -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the determinant:
D = b^2 - 4ac = 49 - 48 = 1
Apply the formula:
x = (-b +- sqrt(D))/2a = (-7 +- 1)/2 = -4 or -3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Four
Start by trying to understand what f(x) means. First of all it is the same thing as y in the equation given in question 4. It is a shorthand that tells you that you put an x in wherever you see an x on the right.
More important, it tells you what to put in for x on the right.
f(z) would tell you to put z in for x anywhere there is an x on the right.
f(z)=2z+1. It is just a shorthand to tell you what to do on the right.
f(2) means put a 2 in for the x on the right. Read all of this carefully. You need to know it.
f(2) = 2(2) + 1
f(2) = 4 + 1
f(2) = 5
=================
Five
f(x) = -x - 5 The minus 4 is not going to change what you do.
f(-4) = -(-4) - 5 Wherever you see an x you put in a minus 4
f(-4) = 4 - 5
f(-4) = - 1
======================
Just so you know, consider a more complicated example
f(x) = 20x^3 + 7x^2 + 4x + 19
Where ever you see an x put in 2
f(2) = 20*(2^3) + 7*(2^2) + 4(2) + 19
f(2) = 20*8 + 7*4 + 4*2 + 19
f(2) = 160 + 28 + 8 + 19
f(2) = 215
Note x can be anything the question tells you it is.
f(5) means put a 5 in for every x.
Answer:
D) 40 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
First we must find the distance between the mall and the house. The figure formed is a right triangle. The length of the side from the mall to the house forms the hypotenuse of the triangle. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length:
a² + b² = c²
The two legs of the triangle, a and b, are 15 and 8:
15² + 8² = c²
225 + 64 = c²
289 = c²
Take the square root of each side:
√289 = √(c²)
17 = c
This makes the total distance
15+8+17= 40 miles
