Answer:
- (b - 9)(b + 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
72 + b - b² ← factor out - 1 from each term and rearrange into standard form
= - (b² - b - 72) ← factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 72) which sum to give the coefficient of the b- term (- 1)
The factors are - 9 and + 8
Use these factors to split the b- term
b² - 9b + 8b - 72 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
b(b - 9) + 8(b - 9) ← factor out (b - 9) from each term
(b - 9)(b + 8)
Then
72 + b - b² = - (b - 9)(b + 8)
4/8 = 1/2 which traditionally is rounded up to one, but technically is 1/2 away from both 0 and 1 - does that make sense?
Answer: 1,600 cubic inches
Step-by-step explanation: 20x4=80 multiply both sides 80x20=1,600 cubic inches
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
a=6
r=2/6=1/3<1
Expanding 8x^3, we multiply 8*8 and x^3 by x^3 to get 64x^6. Since we know that the cube root of 64 is 4, we can separate that. Next, since you add exponents while multiplying, 6/3 is the exponent for the cube root of x^6=x^2. Therefore, your answer is 4x^2
