Answer:

(x - 2)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 4 ← is a difference of squares and factors in general as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b), that is a product of two binomials

Given

x² - 4

= x² - 2²

= (x - 2)(x + 2)

Express tan F as a fraction in simplest terms

gladu [14]

Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the tangent of angle F in right triangle FGH with sides FG=24, GH=10, and FH=26.

<h3>Tangent</h3>

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the relations between trig functions and the sides of a right triangle. The TOA part of this tells you ...

Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent

<h3>Application</h3>

The side opposite angle F is GH = 10.

The side adjacent to angle F is FG = 24.

Then the tangent is ...

tan(F) = GH/FG = 10/24

tan(F) = 5/12 . . . . . reduced to lowest terms

Mr. Erickson will be living in the forest

aliina [53]

<em /> $\huge{\boxed{60\ \text{ft}^{3}}}$ <em />

<em>We will assume the tent is in the shape of a triangular prism.</em>

The volume of a triangular prism can be found with the following formula, where $b$ is the width at the base, $h$ is the height, and $l$ is the length.

$V=\frac{1}{2}bhl$

Substitute in the known values.

$V=\frac{1}{2}*5*3*8$

Simplify — use multiplication.

$V=\frac{5}{2}*3*8$

$V=\frac{15}{2}*8$

$V=\frac{120}{2}$

Simplify — use division.

$V=\large{\boxed{60\ \text{ft}^{3}}}$

The volume — or in this case, the amount of living space — is $60\ \text{cubic feet}$ .

What is the justification for the step taken from line 2 to line 3?

stiv31 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x+9-7x=x+10+x\\-4x+9=2x+10\\-6x+9=10\\$

In the line 2, only variables were operated with a reduction of similar terms in each side of the equation, giving as result -4x at one side, and 2x at the other side.
In the line 3, terms with variables were joined together in one side of the equation, and then, they were operate it, given as result -6X.
