Answer:

a^3 + b^3 ("the sum of two cubes")

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to express exponentiation please use the symbol " ^ ": a^2.

(a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2) is a "special product" that you should learn, even though you can multiply out these two factors using the Distributive Property of Multiplication. Remember this: (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2) = a^3 + b^3, which is "the sum of two cubes."

Answer:

a³ + b³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(a + b)(a² - ab + b²)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

a(a² - ab + b²) + b(a² - ab + b²) ← distribute both parenthesis

= a³ - a²b + ab² + a²b - ab² + b³ ← collect like terms

= a³ + b³

An equation for the depreciation of a car is given by y = A(1 – r)t , where y = current value of the car, A = original cost, r =

avanturin [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the equation for the depreciation of the car is:

$y=A(1-r)^t$

Where y is the current cost, A is the original cost, r is the rate of depreciation, and t is the time, in years.

We are told that the value of the car now is half of what it originally cost. So:

$y=\frac{1}{2}A$

Substitute this for y:

$\frac{1}{2}A=A(1-r)^t$

We also know that the rate of depreciation is 10% or 0.1. Substitute 0.1 for r:

$\frac{1}{2}A=A(1-0.1)^t$

So, let's solve for t. Divide both sides by A:

$\frac{1}{2}=(1-0.1)^t$

Subtract within the parentheses:

$\frac{1}{2}=(0.9)^t$

Take the natural log of both sides:

$\ln(\frac{1}{2})=\ln((0.9)^t})$

Using the properties of logarithms, we can move the t to the front:

$\ln(\frac{1}{2})=t\ln(0.9)$

Divide both sides by ln(0.9):

$t=\frac{\ln(\frac{1}{2})}{\ln(0.9)}$

Use a calculator. So, the car is approximately:

$t\approx6.6\text{ years old}$

Our answer is D.

And we're done!

For the square, the area will be 4x4, which will equal 16 sq ft. Since Juan is wanting to turn it to a rectangle, he will have to use the equation 8x2.

Elliot spent $16.15 on ground beef at a grocery store. He purchased 3 and 2 over 5 pounds of ground beef. What is the price per

Andrej [43]

We want to know how much is the price per pound (or unit rate) of ground beef, given that we know the price for Elliot's purchase. We will see that each pound costs $4.75

So we know that (3 + 2/5) lb of ground beef costs $16.15, the cost of a single pound will be given by the quotient between the total cost and the amount purchased, then we need to solve:

$P =\frac{ \$ 16.15}{(3 + 2/5)lb}$
