- $\frac{1}{5}$ (x-25) = 7 multiply 5 to both sides first
-(x-25) = 35 then expand the brackets
-x+25=35 make x the subject now;
-x=10
x= -10

For all the questions, we will be using the FOIL pattern.
1. $(x+3)(x-3)(3x+2)$
$(x^2-3x+3x-9)(3x+2)$
$(x^2-9)(3x+2)$
$3x^3+2x^2-27x-18$
2. $(2x+1)(x-2)(x+3)$
$(2x^2-4x+x-2)(x+3)$
$(2x^2-3x-2)(x+3)$
$2x^3+3x^2-11x-6$
3. $(x-3)(2x+1)(3x-2)$
$(2x^2+x-6x-3)(3x-2)$
$(2x^2-5x-3)(3x-2)$
$6x^3-19x^2+x+6$
Hope this helped!

You FOIL (First, Outer, Inner, Last)
If you FOIL, you should get 2y^2 - 4y + 4y^2 - 8y +12y -24

Please help!! x = 2 - 3 cos t, y = 1 + 4 sin t in rectangular form?<br><br> thank you! :)

Answer:

$\frac{(x-2)^2}{9}+\frac{(y-1)^2}{16}=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x=2-3\cos(t)$

$y=1+4\sin(t)$

Let's solve for $\cos(t)$ in the first equation and then solve for $\sin(t)$ in the second equation.

I will then use the following identity to get right of the parameter, $t$ :

$\cos^2(t)+\sin^2(t)=1$ (Pythagorean Identity).

Let's begin with $x=2-3\cos(t)$ .

Subtract 2 on both sides:

$x-2=-3\cos(t)$

Divide both sides by -3:

$\frac{x-2}{-3}=\cos(t)$

Now time for the second equation, $y=1+4\sin(t)$ .

Subtract 1 on both sides:

$y-1=4\sin(t)$

Divide both sides by 4:

$\frac{y-1}{4}=\sin(t)$

Now let's plug it into our Pythagorean Identity:

$\cos^2(t)+\sin^2(t)=1$

$\frac{x-2}{-3})^2+(\frac{y-1}{4})^2=1$

$\frac{(x-2)^2}{(-3)^2}+\frac{(y-1)^2}{4^2}=1$

$\frac{(x-2)^2}{9}+\frac{(y-1)^2}{16}=1$
