Write an algebraic expression to represents the verbal expression: the difference between the product of 4 and a number and the
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I use 'n' as the unknown value, but you can use any letter you want as the variable.
The product of four and a number would be represented by '4 * n'. The ideal way to write this would be '4n', even though '4 * n' is also correct in value.
The square of the number would be n². Squaring a number is multiplying a number by itself.
The phrase 'difference between...' means subtraction.
Putting it together:
"The difference between the product of 4 and a number and the square of the number" would be:
Hope this helps.

We need to graph this equation:
Its solutions are the points through which it graph passes. Since it's a linear equation its graph is a straight line and we only need two of its points to draw it. But before graphing let's re-write the equation. We can substract 16x from both sides:
And we divide both sides by 2:
So now with this equation if we pick two random x values we'll get their corresponding y values. This way we'll find two points that are part of the graph which is the line that passes through both. We can begin with x=0:
So the first point is (0,150). Then we can take x=10 and we get:
So the second point is (10,70). Then the graph is the line that passes through points (0,150) and (10,70). In order to represent it
