Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Left
When a square = a linear, always expand the squared expression.
x^2 - 2x + 1 = 3x - 5 Subtract 3x from both sides
x^2 - 2x - 3x + 1 = -5
x^2 - 5x +1 = - 5 Add 5 to both sides
x^2 - 5x + 1 + 5 = -5 + 5
x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0
This factors
(x - 2)(x - 3)
So one solution is x = 2 and the other is x = 3
Second from the Left
i = sqrt(-1)
i^2 = - 1
i^4 = (i^2)(i^2)
i^4 = - 1 * -1
i^4 = 1
16(i^4) - 8(i^2) + 4
16(1) - 8(-1) + 4
16 + 8 + 4
28
Second from the Right
This one is rather long. I'll get you the equations, you can solve for a and b. Maybe not as long as I think.
12 = 8a + b
<u>17 = 12a + b Subtract</u>
-5 = - 4a
a = - 5/-4 = 1.25
12 = 8*1.25 + b
12 = 10 + b
b = 12 - 10
b = 2
Now they want a + b
a + b = 1.25 + 2 = 3.25
Right
One of the ways to do this is to take out the common factor. You could also expand the square and remove the brackets of (2x - 2). Both will give you the same answer. I think expansion might be easier for you to understand, but the common factor method is shorter.
(2x - 2)^2 = 4x^2 - 8x + 4
4x^2 - 8x + 4 - 2x + 2
4x^2 - 10x + 6 The problem is factoring since neither of the first two equations work.
(2x - 2)(2x - 3) This is correct.
So the answer is D
Multiply 50 by .4 or .40. Both give the same answer, which is 20.
Answer: y=2x-5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the line that is parallel to y=2x+2, we know the slope must be 2. Parallel lines NEVER touch. That tells us that the slope must be 2. Now, all we have to do is to plug in the point to find the y-intercept.
-7=2(-1)+b [multiply]
-7=-2+b [add both sides by 2]
b=-5
With the y-intercept, we can find the parallel line.
y=2x-5
If we subtract the equations we can eliminate the 2 6y's
subtractiong the second from the first:-
10x = 44
x = 4.4
now plug x = 44 into the first equation:-
4*4.4 + 6y = 62
6y = 62 - 4*4.4 = 44.4
y = 44.4/6 = 7.4
the answer is the order pair (4.4,7.4)
Midpoint of HG = ((0 + 2a)/2, (0 + 0)/2) = (2a/2, 0/2) = (a, 0)
option D is the correct answer.
