Simplify (x3 + 3x2 + 5x – 4) – (3x3 – 8x2 – 5x + 6)
The first thing I have to do is take that "minus" sign through the parentheses containing the second polynomial. Some students find it helpful to put a "1" in front of the parentheses, to help them keep track of the minus sign.
Here's what the subtraction looks like, when working horizontally:
(x3 + 3x2 + 5x – 4) – (3x3 – 8x2 – 5x + 6)
(x3 + 3x2 + 5x – 4) – 1(3x3 – 8x2 – 5x + 6)
(x3 + 3x2 + 5x – 4) – 1(3x3) – 1 (–8x2) – 1(–5x) – 1(6)
x3 + 3x2 + 5x – 4 – 3x3 + 8x2 + 5x – 6
x3 – 3x3 + 3x2 + 8x2 + 5x + 5x – 4 – 6
–2x3 + 11x2 + 10x –10
And here's what the subtraction looks like, when going vertically:
x
3
−(3x
3
+3x
2
−8x
2
+5x
−5x
−4
+6)
In the horizontal addition (above), you may have noticed that running the negative through the parentheses changed the sign on each and every term inside those parentheses. The shortcut when working vertically is to not bother writing in the subtaction sign or the parentheses; instead, write the second polynomial in the second row, and then just flip all the signs in that row, "plus" to "minus" and "minus" to "plus".

Either way, I get the answer:

The vase of the triangle would be x because it is unknown and the height would be x+2 because it is 2 more units than the base the formula for the area of a triangle is (base)(height)% 2 =area so (x)(x+2)%2=12 so then you have 1/2x^2+x=12 at this point I would move the 12 to the other side by subtracting to get 1/2x^2+x-12=0 then I would multiply it all by 2 to get x^2 + 2x-24 from there I would factor to get (x+6)(x-4) and your answers would be x= -6 and 4 and because 6 is negative it would not work because distances are always positive so the base would equal 4
Answer:
The general rule is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Arithmetic sequence:
In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same, and this difference is called common difference.
The general rule of an arithmetic sequence is given by:
In which 
is the first term and d is the common difference.
We can also find the nth term as a function of a term m, using:
a3 = -12 and a8 = -37
First we find the common difference. So
So
Finding the first term:
Since 
So the general rule is:
I think it’s B. since it’s on the adjacent & hypotenuse side it makes it cosine, and the correct way to set it up is B i believe. hopefully i’m not wrong because it could also be D
Answer:
-82, -83, -84
Step-by-step explanation:
Using a variable and corresponding expressions, we can set the sum of the consecutive integers equal to -249 and solve:
first integer: x
second integer: x + 1
third integer: x + 2
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = -249
Combine like terms: 3x + 3 = -249
Subtract 3 from both sides: 3x + 3 - 3 = -249 - 3 or 3x = -252
Divide both sides by 3: 3x/3 = -252/3
Solve for x: x = -84
first integer: -84
second integer: -84 + 1 = -83
third integer: -84 + 2 = -82
