Answer:
(x + 4)(x - 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
There are actually quite a lot of pairs of binomials the disproves Eric's conclusion, but they all model after the same special product: a^2 - b^2.
The special product a^2 - b^2 can be factored into (a + b)(a - b) and for all real a and b, it will come out as a binomial.
Here is an example:
(x + 4)(x - 4)
We can use the distributive property to get:
x^2 - 4x + 4x - 16
which is the same as
x^2 - 16
This would disprove Eric's conclusion.
Answer:
1.1-5.4=4.3
Step-by-step explanation:
because the total is 5.4 and the turtle was 1.1 up so subtract to see how much the turtle sank to the Bottom

Answer:
- 7.5 ft
- 32.5 ft, 5 ft
- 10.7 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The starting height is h(0) = 7.5 feet, the constant in the quadratic function.
The irrigation system is positioned <u> 7.5 </u> feet above the ground
__
b) The axis of symmetry for quadratic ax^2 +bx +c is x = -b/(2a). For this quadratic, that is x=-10/(2(-1)) = 5. This is the horizontal distance to the point of maximum height. The maximum height is ...
h(5) = (-5 +10)(5) +7.5 = 32.5 . . . feet
The spray reaches a maximum height of <u> 32.5 </u> feet at a horizontal distance of <u> 5 </u> feet from the sprinkler head.
__
c) The maximum distance will be √32.5 + 5 ≈ 10.7 ft.
The spray reaches the ground at about <u> 10.7 </u> feet away.
Answer:
x=8
A = 192
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the sum of the outer lengths
17.9 + 22.6 + 3x = 64.5
Combine like terms
40.5 +3x = 64.5
Subtract 40.5 from each side
40.5 +3x -40.5 = 64.5 - 40.5
3x =24
Divide each side by 3
3x/3 = 24/3
x = 8
The area of a triangle is given by
A = 1/2 bh
The base is 3x = 3(8) =24
and the height is 2x = 2(8) =16
A = 1/2 (24) * 16
A =192
