Answer:

2a - 3b + 4c = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2(a - b - c) - 3

Required

Determine 2a - 3b + 4c

a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2(a - b - c) - 3

Open bracket

a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2a - 2b - 2c - 3

Equate the equation to 0

a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - 2a + 2b + 2c + 3 = 0

Express 3 as 1 + 1 + 1

a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - 2a + 2b + 2c + 1 + 1 + 1 = 0

Collect like terms

a^2 - 2a + 1 + b^2 + 2b + 1 + c^2  + 2c + 1 = 0

Group each terms

(a^2 - 2a + 1) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2  + 2c + 1) = 0

Factorize (starting with the first bracket)

(a^2 - a -a + 1) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2  + 2c + 1) = 0

(a(a - 1) -1(a - 1)) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2  + 2c + 1) = 0

((a - 1) (a - 1)) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2  + 2c + 1) = 0

((a - 1)^2) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2  + 2c + 1) = 0

((a - 1)^2) + (b^2 + b+b + 1) + (c^2  + 2c + 1) = 0

((a - 1)^2) + (b(b + 1)+1(b + 1)) + (c^2  + 2c + 1) = 0

((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)(b + 1)) + (c^2  + 2c + 1) = 0

((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + (c^2  + 2c + 1) = 0

((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + (c^2  + c+c + 1) = 0

((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + (c(c  + 1)+1(c + 1)) = 0

((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + ((c  + 1)(c + 1)) = 0

((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + ((c  + 1)^2) = 0

Express 0 as 0 + 0 + 0

(a - 1)^2 + (b + 1)^2 + (c  + 1)^2 = 0 + 0+ 0

By comparison

(a - 1)^2 = 0

(b + 1)^2 = 0

(c  + 1)^2 = 0

Solving for (a - 1)^2 = 0

Take square root of both sides

a - 1 = 0

Add 1 to both sides

a - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

a = 1

Solving for (b + 1)^2 = 0

Take square root of both sides

b + 1 = 0

Subtract 1 from both sides

b + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1

b = -1

Solving for (c  + 1)^2 = 0

Take square root of both sides

c + 1 = 0

Subtract 1 from both sides

c + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1

c = -1

Substitute the values of a, b and c in 2a - 3b + 4c

2a - 3b + 4c = 2(1) - 3(-1) + 4(-1)

2a - 3b + 4c = 2 +3  -4

2a - 3b + 4c = 1

In the equation 9^2 x 27^3 = 3^x, what is the value of x? <br> Show your work on scratchpaper
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

x=13

Step-by-step explanation:

9^2 * 27^3 = 3^x

We need to get each term with a base of 3

9^2 = (3^2) ^2

We know that a^b^c = a^(b*c)

(3^2) ^2 = 3^(2+2) = 3^4

27^3 = (3^3) ^3 = 3^(3*3) = 3^9

Replacing these in the original equation

3^4 * 3^9 = 3^x

We know that a^b *a^c = a^(b+c)

3^4 * 3^9  =3^(4+9) = 3^13 = 3^x

The bases are the same, so the exponents must be the same

x=13

PLZ HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST
Fantom [35]

Answer:

  g(x) = (1/6)(x +7)^2 -8

Step-by-step explanation:

The transformation ...

  g(x) = a·f(x -h) +k

represents vertical scaling by a factor of 'a', right shift by h units, and up shift by k units. You want the function g(x) for f(x) = x^2, a = 1/6, h = -7, and k = -8. Those transformations give you ...

  g(x) = (1/6)(x +7)^2 -8

Do patterns excist in every thing around us ? why ,why not?<br><br>​
vichka [17]

Answer:

<em>Patterns are important because <u>they offer visual clues to an underlying order</u>. If you can unlock a pattern, then you have the ability to alter or shape it in order to achieve some effect. Patterns can also be used as a template that will enable one to quickly analyze a situation and understand how it works.</em>
