Explanation:

Right now, we are given: \frac{b}{-8} =-2.

\frac{b}{-8} is basically b divided by -8. In order to solve for b, we need to "undo" the division part - and to do so, we use the opposite of division, which is multiplication.

So, we would multiply both sides by -8: \frac{b}{-8} *-8=-2*(-8)

On the left, when we multiply by -8, the -8 we multiplied and the -8 in the denominator cancel out, so we're just left with b. On the right side, it's simply the multiplication of -2 by -8. Here, since we have two negative numbers, the negatives cancel out to become a positive product, and 2 * 8 = 16. So, -2 * -8 = 16.

As you did not want the answer, I will not say explicitly the actual answer, but hopefully you can figure it out from my explanation above!

Answer:

Solve by multiplying -8 on both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

b

___ =     -2

-8

once you multiply -8 on both sides, the -8 would cancel on the left leaving you with

b =  -2(-8)

Choose the appropriate pattern and use it to find the product: (p4−q4)(p4+q4).
sp2606 [1]

The expression can be solved by expanding the bracket and multiplying out the terms

(p^4-q^4)(p^4+q^4)\begin{gathered} =p^4(p^4+q^4)-q^4(p^4+q^4) \\ =p^8+p^4q^4-p^4q^4-q^8 \\ =p^8-q^8 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the expression can be simplified as;

p^8-q^8

Alternatively, using the theorem of difference of two squares, which is

a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)

Hence,

p^8-q^8=(p^4)^2-(q^4)^2

In 2009, a town's population was about 9,000 residents. In 2014, the population was about 12,500 residents. Which linear model r
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The linear function that discribes the size of the population in function of the t in years is p = 700t - 1,397,300

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function is defined by a line, so in order to determine the linear function we can use the two points that were given to us to create a line equation and use that as our linear function. The points given to us were (2009; 9000) and (2014; 12500), in this case the year is our value of "x" and the size of the population is our value of "y". The first step is to find the slope of the line which is given by:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (12500 -9000)/(2014 - 2009) = 3500/5 = 700

Then we can use the slope and the first point to build the equation:

p - 9000 = 700*(t - 2009)

p = 700t - 1406300 + 9000

p = 700t - 1397300
