You can make it easier by replacing x^n with another variable, factoring, then putting x^n back in the end.
Using exponent and algebra rules, rewrite x^2n - 2x^n + 1 as
(x^n)^2 - (2 x x^2) + 1
Then, let x^n = m.
m^2 - 2m + 1
Now factor that: (m - 1)^2
And now put x^n back: (x^n - 1)^2
B. -9 is the most negative one, -2 is the least.
Hope this helps you.
Answer:
B. - 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:1 foot
If 3 units equal 3 feet, what is the value of 1 unit?
Volume of the first aquarium = (12" x 13" x 14") = 2,184 inches³
Volume of the second aquarium = (32" x 34" x 35") = 38,080 inches³
The second aquarium has (38,080 / 2,184) = 17.44 times as much
volume as the first aquarium has.
So it'll take the hose 17.44 times as long to fill the second one
= (17.44) x (2 minutes) = 34.9 minutes.
