Answer:
b = (T - a - c - d) / 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let T be the total number of points required to advance.
a, c and d are points scored in the local matches, and b is the number of points scored in the district match. If b is worth 3 times as much as the other matches, the total number of points is given by:
Isolate b in order to find out how many points they need in the district match:
They need to score (T - a - c - d)/3, in the district match in order to win.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
some of your answers that you currently have are wrong, I'll note those mistakes below
- when factoring (ie 5x+15) only factor out things that can divide both numbers into a whole number ratio
5x+15 = 5(x+3), not (x+3)(x+5)
ie
we see that 10x can divide the numerator in a whole number ratio
= 10x(x+2), not (x+2)(x+10)
second mistake: the first binomial expansion is incorrect.
you have the expansion formula right, but you added terms wrong, go look at it again
3. x^2+3x+2/ x^2+5x+6
(x+1)(x+2)/(x+3)(x+2)
(x+1)/(x+3)
4. (x^2+6x+8)/(x^2-16)
(x+4)(x+2)/(x+4)(x-4)
(x+2)/(x-4)
5. we can't simplify that any more, x and y are different variables so therefore we cannot cross out stuff on numerator and denominator
6. (x^4y^6)^2
(x^4y^6)(x^4y^6) =
remember that (x^a)(x^b) = x^(a+b)
or remember that (x^a)^b = x^ab
