Answer:
Problem 1. <em>(19/2)b + 15</em>
Problem 2. <em>3/16</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Question number 1
5/8 (16b+24) -1/2b =
= (5/8) * (16/1) * b + (5/8) * 24 - (1/2)b
= 10b + 15 - (1/2)b
= (20/2)b - (1/2)b + 15
= (19/2)b + 15
Question number 2
3/4 (16/64 + 12a) -9a =
= (3/4) * (16/64) + (3/4) * 12a - 9a
= (3 * 16)(4 * 64) + (3/4) * (12/1) * a - 9a
= (3 * 1)(4 * 4) + (3 * 12)/(4 * 1) * a - 9a
= 3/16 + (3 * 3)/(1 * 1) * a - 9a
= 3/16 + 9a - 9a
= 3/16
Answer: (3x + 11y)^2
Demonstration:
The polynomial is a perfect square trinomial, because:
1) √ [9x^2] = 3x
2) √121y^2] = 11y
3) 66xy = 2 *(3x)(11y)
Then it is factored as a square binomial, being the factored expression:
[ 3x + 11y]^2
Now you can verify working backwar, i.e expanding the parenthesis.
Remember that the expansion of a square binomial is:
- square of the first term => (3x)^2 = 9x^2
- double product of first term times second term =>2 (3x)(11y) = 66xy
- square of the second term => (11y)^2 = 121y^2
=> [3x + 11y]^2 = 9x^2 + 66xy + 121y^2, which is the original polynomial.
Answer:
Mean is 18
Step-by-step explanation:
We would set up the proportion as X/9=36/X so after we cross multiply we get x^2=324. Then we find the square root of both sides to simplify. ... And the square root of 324 is 18. So the final answer is x=18 or the geometric mean is 18
