Factor by using the difference of squares method: 36x^4 - 4x^2

1 answer:

4 0

The difference of squares formula is a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b). a^2, in this case, is 36x^4, so we can say the square root(positive in this case) is 6x^2. This means that a is 6x^2. We can do this also to the b^2 part and get 4x^2=b^2 so b=2x. The difference of squares formula states that the answer is (6x^2+2x)(6x^2-2x), so the answer is D.

Answer:

The parent function for a quadratic is f(x) = x^2. If there is something other than this, that is how you know it is a quadratic transformation.

Rashida brought three tickets to a concert for $75 at this rate how much would 5 tickets cost

Wittaler [7]

In order for you to understand this question you have to know what the unit rate is. In order to find it you divide 75 by 3 which is 25 so you know that 1 ticket will cost 25$ so then you multiply that 25 times 5 to get your final answer which is 125.

A diving board is 10 feet above the surface of the water. At time t = 0, the board propels Chris upward at a rate of 12 feet per

Art [367]

Answer:

Chris will take 0.75 seconds to return to his starting height of 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of Chris be represented by $h(t) = -16\cdot t^{2}+12\cdot t +10$ , where $h(t)$ is the height in feet and $t$ , the time in seconds. First, we equalize the formula to a height of 10 feet and simplify the resulting expression, that is:

$-16\cdot t^{2}+12\cdot t +10 = 10$

$-16\cdot t^{2}+12\cdot t = 0$

Then, we simplify the expression by algebraic means:

$-16\cdot t\cdot \left(t-\frac{3}{4} \right) = 0$

Roots of the polynomial are, respectively:

$t = 0\,s\,\lor \,t = 0.75\,s$

First root represents the initial height of Chris, whereas the second one represents the instant when Christ returns to the same height above the surface of the water. Hence, Chris will take 0.75 seconds to return to his starting height of 10 feet.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

A square area=legnth times width
but for a square, legnth=width so
area=legnth^2

are=49
49=legnth^2

square root of both sides
7=legnth
the answer is 7
