<u>Question 8</u>
a^2 + 7a + 12
= (a+3)(a+4)
When factorising a quadratic, the product of the two factors should equal the constant term (12), and the sum of the two factors should equal the linear term (7). To find the two factors, list out the factors of 12 (1x12, 2x6, 3x4) and identify the pair that adds up to 7 (3+4).
An alternative method if you get stuck during your exam would be to solve it algebraically using the quadratic formula and then write it in the factorised form.
a = (-7 +or- sqrt(7^2 - 4(1)(12)) / 2(1)
= (-7 +or- sqrt(1))/2
= -3 or -4
These factors are the negative of the values that would go in the brackets when written in factorised form, as when a = -3 the factor (a+3) would equal 0. (If it were positive 3 instead, then in the factorised form it would be a-3).
<u>Question 10</u>
-3(x - y)/9 + (4x - 7y)/2 - (x + y)/18
Rewrite each fraction with a common denominator so you can combine the fractions into one.
= -6(x - y)/18 + 9(4x - 7y)/18 - (x + y)/18
= (-6(x - y) + 9(4x - 7y) - (x + y)) /18
Expand the brackets and collect like terms.
= (-6x + 6y + 36x - 63y - x - y)/18
= (29x - 58y)/18
= 29/18 x - 29/9 y
Answer:
0 => -⅘ => 1.5 => 3 => -4 => 
Step-by-step explanation:
The greater the absolute value of a slope, the steeper the slope. By absolute value, we mean the non-negative value of tthe .
To arrange the slope values, from the least steep to the steepest, ignore the negative sign in any of the slope values.
Thus, in the order from the least steep to the steepest, we have:
0 => -⅘ => 1.5 => 3 => -4 =>
The greater the absolute value of the slope, the greater the vertical movement. The greater the vertical movement, the steeper the slope.
A slope value of 0 connotes a horizontal line.
How much turkey is in the pie?
The mass of the turkey in the pie is 1/4 of the weight of the chicken
200/4 = 50 grams
Answer:
Angle A = 97.5º
Step-by-step explanation:
Supplmentary means 2 angles that equal 180º. So we already have 1 angle, so now all we have to do is subtract 82.5 from 180.
180 - 82.5 = 97.5
Answer:
$72
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply $120*0.40 to see how much money is being taken off, this equals $48. Remember that this $48 is how much you want to remove from $120, so 120-48=72.
