Hello!
You can only add like terms
3x^2 + 4x^2 = 7x^2
2x + -5x = -3x
-8 + 6 = -2
The answer is 7x^2 - 3x - 2
Hope this helps!
23. If M' represents the complementary, then is the answer A.
24. The answer is C.
3% is the decimal 0.03 .
To make a number 3% bigger, multiply it by 1.03 .
The ' 1 ' part is the amount that's already there, and
the ' .03 ' part is the amount to be added onto it.
1. x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 12y - 20 = 0 ---- (x-2)^2 + (y+6)^2 = 60
3. 3x^2+ 3y^2 + 12x +18y - 15 = 0 --- (x+2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 18
5. 2x^2 + 2y^2 - 24x - 16y - 8 = 0 --- (x-6)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 56
I don't know the other two, hope I helped though.
This is a geometric series with first term e^3 and common ratio e^-2. The sum of it will be
.. e^3/(1 -e^-2) ≈ 23.229277815766...
