(a).
The product of two binomials is sometimes called FOIL.
It stands for ...
the product of the First terms (3j x 3j)
plus
the product of the Outside terms (3j x 5)
plus
the product of the Inside terms (-5 x 3j)
plus
the product of the Last terms (-5 x 5)
FOIL works for multiplying ANY two binomials (quantities with 2 terms).
Here's another tool that you can use for this particular problem (a).
It'll also be helpful when you get to part-c .
Notice that the terms are the same in both quantities ... 3j and 5 .
The only difference is they're added in the first one, and subtracted
in the other one.
Whenever you have
(the sum of two things) x (the difference of the same things)
the product is going to be
(the first thing)² minus (the second thing)² .
So in (a), that'll be (3j)² - (5)² = 9j² - 25 .
You could find the product with FOIL, or with this easier tool.
______________________________
(b).
This is the square of a binomial ... multiplying it by itself. So it's
another product of 2 binomials, that both happen to be the same:
(4h + 5) x (4h + 5) .
You can do the product with FOIL, or use another little tool:
The square of a binomial (4h + 5)² is ...
the square of the first term (4h)²
plus
the square of the last term (5)²
plus
double the product of the terms 2 · (4h · 5)
________________________________
(c).
Use the tool I gave you in part-a . . . twice .
The product of the first 2 binomials is (g² - 4) .
The product of the last 2 binomials is also (g² - 4) .
Now you can multiply these with FOIL,
or use the squaring tool I gave you in part-b .
Answer:
179/180
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>Step One</u></em>
Find the prime factors of 18 and 20
18:3*3*2
20: 2 * 2 * 5
<em><u>Step Two</u></em>
You need two 2s two 3s and one 5 for the common denominator
The common denominator is 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 = 180
<em><u>Step Three</u></em>
Put the two fractions over 180
179/180
Answer:
s=5
Step-by-step explanation:
6s-4=16+2s
6s=20+2s
4s=20
s=5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the integer be 6 for even and 7 for odd (say)
For 6, we divide by 2, now get 3. Now we multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 10. Now since 10 is even divide by 5, now multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 16. Now divide by 2 again by 2 again by 2 again by 2 till we get rid of even numbers.
The result is 1, so multiply by 3 and add 1 we get 4 now divide 2 times by 2 to get 1, thus this result now again repeats after 2 times.
Say if we select off number 3, multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 10 now divide by 5, now repeat the same process as above for 5 until we get 1 and it gets repeated every third time.
Thus whether odd or even after some processes, we get 1 and the process again and again returns to 1.
