This is a whole squared equation. So, it is (x+2)^2.
If you check it, you get x2 + 4x + 4

Hope this helps!

The answer should be (x + 2)^2 because when factoring using grouping, you can rid of two x's from the first two terms, and you can factor 4 into 2 * 2. Factoring the first two terms rids of the first and leaves two x's in the second. You can check if i'm right by multiplying (x + 2) (x + 2). This should give x^2 + 2x + 2x + 4. Simplyify this into x^2 + 4x + 4 by combining like terms. Hope this helps.

Solve for x. 4/x−3+2/x^2−9=1/x+3

Levart [38]

Answer:

$x=-\frac{17}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$\frac{4}{x-3}+\frac{2}{x^{2}-9}=\frac{1}{x+3}$

Solve for x

Applying difference of squares in the denominator of the second term in the left side

$\frac{4}{x-3}+\frac{2}{(x+3)(x-3)}=\frac{1}{x+3}$

Multiply both sides by (x+3)(x-3)

$4(x+3)+2=(x-3)$

Apply the distributive property in the left side

$4x+12+2=x-3$

Combine like terms left side

$4x+14=x-3$

Group terms

$4x-x=-3-14$

$3x=-17$

Divide by 3 both sides

$x=-\frac{17}{3}$

Mary went up the Old Tower taking 3 steps per second. Then she carefully came down from the tower taking 2 steps per second. It

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The old tower has 150 steps

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of steps in the old tower be m

Mathematically, time = distance/speed

In this case, the distance is the number of steps while the speed is the rate of climbing or descending

For climbing, time spent = m/3

For descending time spent = m/2

Since it took her 25 longer when descending;

This means that;

m/2 - m/3 = 25

(3m-2m)/6 = 25

m/6 = 25

m = 6 * 25

m = 150 steps

The lateral area of a cone is 86 cm squared. The radius is 18 cm. Find the slant height to

jasenka [17]

Answer:

1.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral area is given by ...

LA = πrh

86 cm^2 = π(18 cm)h

h = (86 cm^2)/(18π cm) ≈ 1.5 . . . cm

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

The geometry described here is impossible. The slant height cannot be less than the radius of the cone. We suspect a typo in the problem statement.
