Can you double a square with a straightedge and a compass?

Mathematics

I'd say yes.  If you use the diagonal as a reference.  Take the square and set your compass to the width of the diameter of the square.  Now put it on the page and mark a point.  Put the point of the compass on that mark and make another mark.  Now you can connect the two marks with the straight edge and you have a line that, if you made a square with sides that long, it'd have 2x the area of the first one.  That's because the diagonal is the square root of 2 larger than one side.  Square the square root of 2 and you've got 2.  You lust need to make a perpendicular line to the first one to get the box going.

Multiply (2n + 2)(2n – 2) A. 4n 2 – 4 B. 4n 2 – 4n – 4 C. 4n 2 + 2n – 4 D. 4n 2 + 4n – 4
sattari [20]
This system can be a bit tricky unless you write it out:
(2n + 2)(2n - 2) ~ First you have to take one variable and multiply it to each of the other two variables, like:
2n * 2n ~ And:
2n * -2 ~ This gives you:
4n^2 - 4n
Now we do this with the other:
2 * 2n
2 * -2
4n - 4
Now we combine them both while adding like terms:
4n^2 - 4
Therefore your answer is: A. 4n^2 - 4
(This is due to how when having the positive 4n subtracted by the negative it cancels it out. Leaving us with the remaining two terms left.)

I hope this helps, have a great rest of your day! ^ ^

3. Which of the following are the roots of the quadratic function below?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

x = ± 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² - 144

To find the roots set f(x) = 0, that is

x² - 144 = 0 ( add 144 to both sides )

x² = 144 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{144} = ± 12
