Factor the expression. 9b2 – 25

Mathematics

rewona [7]3 years ago

Answer: (3b + 5)(3b - 5)

Because both terms, 9b² and 25, are perfect squares, you can factor by taking the square roots of both terms.

The square root of 9b² is 3b (3b × 3b = 9b²).

The square root of 25 is 5 (5 × 5 = 25).

9b² - 25 has a negative, so the factored expression would be

(3b + 5)(3b - 5). The signs (+ and -) alternate in this case because the  expression, 9b² - 25, has no middle term.

You can check your work by using FOIL. See the attachment below.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (7, 2) and (2, 12)
Anika [276]

Step-by-step explanation:

the general slope intercept form is

y = ax + b

a is the slope, b is the y-intercept (when x=0).

the slope is the ratio y/x indicating how much y changes, when x changes for a certain amount of units when going from one point to another.

going from (7, 2) to (2, 12) :

x changes by -5 (from 7 to 2), y changes by +10 (from 2 to 12).

so, the slope is 10/-5 = -2

therefore, we have already

y = -2x + b

we get b by using the coordinates of one of the points as x and y. e.g. (7, 2)

2 = -2×7 + b = -14 + b

16 = b

so, the full line equation is

y = -2x + 16
