Expand (2+x)^-3<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ....
pentagon [3]

Answer:

1/(x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we do is rationalize this expression. (2+x)^-3 is written as

1/(2+x)^3

Then from there we can foil out the denominator. It is easiest to foil (2+x)(2+x) first and then multiply that product by (2+x).

(2+x)(2+x) = 4 + 4x + x^2

(4+4x+x^2)(2+x) = 8+8x+2x^2+4x+4x^2+x^3.

Then we combine like terms and put them in order to get:

x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + 8

And of course we can't forget that this was raised to the negative third power, so our answer is 1/(x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + 8)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A quarter circle is one fourth of a circle. To find the area of a quarter circle, find the area of the whole circle by using the formula A = pi * r^2 and then divide by 4. To find the perimeter of the quarter circle, find the circumference of the whole circle, divide by 4, and then add the radius twice.
