Answer:
x = -1, x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the equation. (It's a difference of squares, so we know the form will be (a-b)(a+b).)
Test this by FOILing it out, if you're unsure. This is something it can be good to memorize!
Set it equal to 0.
Separate the two parenthetical expressions by the Zero Product Property.
Solve for x!
Answer: Part A - C, Part B - 12 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A:</u>
We know that 1/4 of Meredith's sub is bigger than 1/4 of Jim's sub, so we can set up an inequality.
Let Meredith's sub size = m; Jim's = j
Therefore, 1/4*m > 1/4*j
We can multiply both sides by 4:
m > j
Thus, the correct answer is C
<u>Part B:</u>
Since he had 1/4 of it left, that means he at 1 - 1/4 of it = 3/4 of his sub.
We can calculate the value of 3/4 * 16 = 12 pieces
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Don't worry about that little one, Its just 3 x 2 = 6 the one means to multiply that number once.
13. if edward wins 6 of his remaining games...that would make a total of 12 wins (since he already won 6 earlier)
3/4 as many winsa as edward....3/4(12) = 36/4 = 9...so he would have to win 9 to have 3/4's as much as edward...and howard has already won 4...so he needs (9 - 4) = 5....he needs 5 wins
=======================
14. Robert has already won 2, and he has lost 8...so he would have to win at least 7 of his games to have more wins then losses
A) 5x⁴-8 <----- the tell-tale guy is the exponent of the variable, is 4, so the degree is 4, 5x then minus then 8, two terms, a BInomial
b) 4a²-2a-16 <---- same tell-tale guy, a² has a higher exponent than say "a", so, the degree is the higher exponent, degree of 2
it has 3 terms, thus is a TRInomial
c) 9m³ <---- well, is the only term, variable exponent is 3, so, degree of 3
only one term means is a MONOmial.
