Answer:

[(2x)² - 3²] = (2x-3) (2x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is ( 4x² - 9)

We have to tell the identity to factorize the given expression.

We can rewrite the expression as [ (2x)² - 3² ]

To factor if we will use the identity

[a² - b² = (a-b) (a+b) ]

so expression will become

[(2x)² - 3²] = (2x-3) (2x+3)

You cannot factor it, so there is no simplification. The Constants "4" and "9" do not share a common factor, therefore, you cannot simplify it. However, if it was a number such as "8" replacing "9", then you can simplify by doing:

4(x^2 - 2) = 4x^2-9

Why don't you first try to use the cosine law to solve for an angle and then make use of the sin law to solve for the remaining angles.

Cosine law

C^2 = A^2 + B^2 - 2AB(cos C)
Solve for cos C, and then take the inverse of the trig ratio to solve for the angle.

Then set up a proportion like you have done using the sin law and solve for another angle. Knowing the sum of all angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, we can easily solve for the remaining angle.

An unprepared student makes random guesses for the ten true-false questions on a quiz. Find the probability that there is at le

hoa [83]

Answer:

0.999

Step-by-step explanation:

At least 1 correct means, 1 correct, 2 correct, 3 correct ... until 10 correct. That would be a long process to calculate.

Instead we use the complement rule to calculate.

$P(x\geq1)=1-P(x$

So we need to find P(x<1). So this is getting 0 answers correct, or 10 incorrect.

In true false question, probablity of correct is 1/2 and incorrect is 1/2, hence,

Probability of 10 incorrect is (1/2)^10

Thus,

$P(x\geq1)=1-(\frac{1}{2})^{10}=0.999$

So the answer is 0.999 (rounded to nearest thousandth)

3. A dish contains 100 candies. Juan removes candies from the dish each day and no

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If i am correct n= the days so with the days adding up day 10 juan would have 55 of the 100 candies, day 11 he would have 66. The statement said at least 64, so it would have to be 64 or the closet amount to 64 but it cannot be lower than 64. So there for 66 is the closest to the given amount, and in order for juan to get 64 he would need to take candies out for 11 days.

Argyle has $1000 in his savings account. He wants to save more money. He is

Thepotemich [5.8K]

You would use the formula P(1+r/n)^nt=A I explained it in the picture and if the number is growing it is 1+r/n and if it’s not it is 1-r/n. Also if you don’t know the formula you can do it year by year which I also showed but it will take a long time and it’s easy to make a mistake. The answer would be A because if you plug the numbers into the formula you will get 4045.56 for plan b then you subtract 3000 and round, getting 1046. It is the formula of exponential growth/decay if you want to research further.
