Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
So find what two numbers multiply to 72 and add up to 17
9 and 8
(z + 9)(z + 8)
If you would like to solve the equation b^2 + 9 * b + 18 = 0 for the variable b, you can do this using the following step:
b^2 + 9 * b + 18 = 0
(b + 3) * (b + 6) = 0
Result:
1. solution: b = - 3
2. solution: b = - 6
A counter-example could be
There are more than 3 marbles in the bag, and the other ones are red.
Hope this helps!
Lila did it correctly. The answer is 324
Following PEMDAS, we first focus on the parenthesis. So we simplify 9-3 to get 6
So we go from
18*4^2+(9-3)^2
to
18*4^2+6^2
The next step is applying exponents. In this case, squaring the terms, so we go from
18*4^2+6^2
to
18*16+36
Next is multiplying
18*16+36
turns into
288+36
Finally, add up 288 and 36 to get 288+36 = 324
That confirms that Lila is correct
----------------------
The error that Rob made is that he computed 18*4^2+9^2-3^2 but it is NOT correct. Saying (x-y)^2 = x^2-y^2 isn't a true equation for all x and y. Again you have to simplify what is in the parenthesis first, and then you can square it. Or you must use the FOIL rule to expand out (9-3)^2
