Answer:

He will need (x+2)(x-2) units squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, so to solve this it is necessary to find the area of the room and subtract the area of the dance floor from it.

Fortunately, squares are a special case where we only need to... well square the side.

Therefore:

a =  {(3x - 4)}^{2}  -  {(2x - 6)}^{2}

Great. Difference of two squares.

{a}^{2}  -  {b}^{2}  = ( a+ b)(a - b)

Therefore:

a = (3x - 4  +  2x - 6) \\ (3x - 4  -  2x +6 )  \\  \\  a = (5x  - 10)(x + 2) \\ a = 5 {x}^{2}  - 20 \\ a =  {x}^{2}  - 4 \\ a = (x + 2)(x - 2)

Which expression is equivalent to m^2-13m-30?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: First option

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the quadratic equation given in the problem:

m^2-13m-30

To find an equivalent expression you cacn factorize. Find two numbers whose sum is -13 and whose product is -30.

These numbers would be -15 and 2.

Therfore, you obtain the following equivalent expression:

(m-15)(m+2)

If you don't want to apply the method above, you can use the quadratic formula:

x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Where:

a=1\\b=-13\\c=-30

When you susbstitute values you obtain that:

x=15\\x=-2

Then you can rewrite the equation as (m-15)(m+2)

The midpoint of AB is (3,2). If point is is located at(8,4) what are the coordinates of point B
Dmitry [639]

Step-by-step explanation:

8-3 = 5,

3-5 = -2 = the x coordinate of B

-2-4 =-6,

-2-6 =-8 = the y coordinate of B

(-2,-8) is the point B

A is 5 to the right of the midpoint, so B is 5 to the left of the midpoint

A is 6 up from the midpoint so B is 6 down from the midpoint
