Answer:
a² + b²
Step-by-step explanation:
(a + b)² - 2ab ← expand parenthesis using FOIL
= a² + 2ab + b² - 2ab ← collect like terms
= a² + b²
Answer:
x = -2.5
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
We can remove the denominators by multiplying everything by it.
Solve:
Let's make one side equal to 0.
Solve by factoring, and then the zero product property.
Multiply 2 and -10. You get -20. Think of two number that multiply to -20, and add to 1. If we think about the standard form of a quadratic,
, think two numbers that equal "ac" and add up to "b".
Using the zero product property, set each factor to 0 and solve for x.
- 2x + 5 = 0
2x = -5
x = -5/2 = -2.5 - x - 2 = 0
x = 2
The two answers are x = -2.5, and x = 2.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x^3 -9x^2 +14x +24
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-4)(x^2 - 5x - 6)
Multiply the x by everything in the second term
x * (x^2 - 5x - 6)
x^3 -5x^2 -6x
Multiply the -4 by everything in the second term
-4 * (x^2 - 5x - 6)
-4x^2 +20x +24
Add everything together
I like to line them up vertically
x^3 -5x^2 -6x
-4x^2 +20x +24
-------------------------------
x^3 -9x^2 +14x +24
