Answer:

B) x^2 – 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x(x – 1)(y + 1)

FOIL (x-1)(y+1)

firsy: xy

outer 1x

inner -1y

last (1)(-1) =-1

Add them together xy +x-y-1

x( xy +x-y-1)

Replace xy with 1

x( 1+x-y-1)

x(+x-y)

Distribute

x^2-xy

But xy=1

x^2 -1

Which algebraic expression is equivalent to the expression below? 25/4(5x-4/5)+29

andre [41]

Notice* No options are provided, so I will solve the expression.

Answer:

$\frac{125x+96}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify $\frac{4}{5}$

Step 2: Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5 as the denominator :

5x = 5x/1 = 5x * 5/5

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

dding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

5x • 5 - (4) 25x - 4

-------------- = ---------

5 5

Step 3: Simplify 25/4

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 4 as the denominator :

29 = 29/1 = 29 * 4/4

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

Adding up the two equivalent fractions

5 • (25x-4) + 29 • 4 125x + 96

--------------------------- = -----------

4 4

Final result :

125x + 96

Landon finds that the school cafeteria has 8,000 milliliters of grape juice, 4.2 liters

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

1) Part A)

Liters Mililiters

1 1,000

5 5,000

8 8,000

14 14,000

2) Part B)

One way to convert 4.2 liters to milliliters is to  multiply  the number of liters by the number of milliliters in 1 liter. This means there are  4,200 milliliters in 4.2 liters. The cafeteria has the greatest amount of  orange juice, the second greatest amount of  grape  juice, and the least amount of  cranberry juice.

Explanation:

1) Data:

Grape juice: 8,000 mililiters

Cranberry juice: 4.2 liter

Orange juice: 12,000 mililiters

There are 1,000 mililiers in 1 liter

2) Part A:

Table:

The table is garbled. This is what the tables could look like:

Liters Mililiters

1 1,000

5 5,000

8 8,000

14 14,000

You can see that the table shows a direct relationship between the number of mililiters and the number of liters:

1,000/1 = 1,000
5,000/5 = 1,000
8,000/8 = 1,000

14,000/14 = 1,000

number of mililiters / liters = 1,000

3) Part B)

Fill in the blanks to explain how Landon can convert 4.2 liters of cranberry juice to mililiters so he can compare the amounts of the different juices:

i) One way to convert 4.2 liters to milliliters is to  multiply  the number of

liters by the number of milliliters in 1 liter.

As demonstrated above there is a direct relationship between the number of mililiters and the number on liters, then you must multiply the number of liters by the proportionality constant to find the number of mililiters.

ii) This means there are  4,200 milliliters in 4.2 liters.

That is the product 4.2 × 1,000 = 4,200.

iii) The cafeteria has the greatest amount of  orange juice, the second greatest amount of  grape  juice, and the least amount of  cranberry juice.

Rank the amounts:

12,000 > 8,000 > 4,200

What is the radius of a sphere with a surface area of 100 pi cm2

Ksenya-84 [330]

The surface area of a sphere is 4r^2pi, so dividing 100 by 4pi gives a result of 25/pi. Taking the square root and rationalizing the denominator, we have 5sqrt(pi)/pi as the radius of the sphere.
