Answer:
the likehood that an n fell on the floor is 2 in 13.
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Judy made a mistake between Steps 1 and 2
To factor
, you have to factor it as
, not
, because that will leave an extra 6x because of 8x - 2x.
I'm assuming you meant to write a^4 = 625.
If that is the case, then note how 625 = 25^2, and how a^4 is the same as (a^2)^2
So we go from this
a^4 = 625
to this
(a^2)^2 = 25^2
Apply the square root to both sides and you'll end up with: a^2 = 25
From here, apply the square root again to end up with the final answer: a = 5 or a = -5
As a check:
a^4 = (-5)^4 = (-5)*(-5)*(-5)*(-5) = 25*25 = 625
a^4 = (5)^4 = (5)*(5)*(5)*(5) = 25*25 = 625
Both values of 'a' work out
The slope is 2. The y-intercept is 4.
Explanation:
The line constantly goes up to units for every unit that it goes to the right. The y intercept is 4 because it is 4 on the y-axis when x is 0.
To simplify 3a + 2b - 8a + b, we need to combine like terms. Like terms are terms that share common variables. In this expression, the two variables are terms with a and terms with b. The terms that have a are 3a and -8a. The terms that have b are 2b and b. Now we can separate them and simplify.
(3a - 8a) + (2b + b)
-5a + 3b
