Answer:

a = 2x

b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the sum of cubes identity

a³ + b³ =(a + b)(a² -ab +b²)

for the polynomial 8x³ +27, we factorise

8x³ + 27

∛8 = 2

∛8 = x

∛27 = 3

Therefore, we can say that :

8x³ + 27 = (2x)³ + 3³

Using this: a³ + b³ =(a + b)(a² -ab +b²)

We can say that

a = 2x

b = 3

To confirm that: a = 2x and b = 3 we factorise 8x³ + 27

= (2x)³ + 3³

= (2x + 3)((2x)²− 2x × 3 + 3²)

= (2x + 3)(4x² - 6x + 9)

= 8x³ - 12x² +18x + 12x² - 18x + 27

= 8x³ + 27

Therefore, a = 2x and b = 3 is correct.

In a raffle, 1,000 tickets are sold for $2 each. One ticket will be randomly selected and the winner will recieve a laptop compu

Kryger [21]

Answer:

$ 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to define the expected value of the ticket that would be the sum of the value for all event probabilities.

That is, if you buy 1 ticket, for each participant the probabilities are:

1. 1/1000 to get a $ 1,200 item

2. 999/1000 to get nothing ($ 0).

That is to say:

(1/1000) * $ 1200 + (999/1000) * $ 0 = (1/1000) * $ 1200 = $ 1.2

Therefore, the expected value is $ 1.2, this means that in reality each participant pays $ 0.8 more than the ticket is worth

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

213 euros per month

Step-by-step explanation:

1dollar = 0.7306euros

thus $3,500 dollars can be found by a rule of three

dollar euro

1 ⇒ 0.7306

3500 ⇒ x

we find x as follows:

$x=\frac{0.7306*3500}{1} = 2,557.1$ euros

She will pay 2,557.1 euros per year.

Dividing between the 12 months of the year:

$\frac{2,557.1}{12}=213.1$

Rounding to the nearest whole euro she will pay 213 euros per month.

Which algebraic expression represents “twice the sum of y and 9”

tankabanditka [31]

To answer this question we will have to keep the following two points in mind:

#1. The sum of a number with another number means to add the given two numbers.

#2. Twice means to multiply by 2. In other words it means to double.

Therefore, "twice the sum" would mean to multiply the sum by 2.

Now, in our question we will have, "the sum of y and 9 would be: $y+9$ and twice this sum would be: $2(y+9)$

Thus, "twice the sum of y and 9" is: $2(y+9)$
