Answer:

Good Job!!! You would keep it as a fraction. My teacher said to NEVER use decimals with problems like these.

Simplify the expression 3x(x – 12x) + 3x2 – 2(x – 2)2. Which statements are true about the process and simplified product? Check

Kisachek [45]

<h3>1. The term $-2(x-2)^2$ is simplified by first squaring the expression (x – 2). </h3><h3>TRUE </h3><h3>2. The simplified product is a binomial. TRUE</h3><h3>3. After multiplying, the like terms are combined by adding and subtracting.</h3><h3>TRUE </h3><h3>4. The parentheses are eliminated through multiplication. TRUE</h3><h3>5. The final simplified product is $-28x^2 + 8x - 8$ FALSE</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is :

$F(x) = 3x(x- 12x) + 3x^2-2(x-2)^2$

Now, let us first solve the given expression step wise:

$F(x) = 3x(x-12x) +3x^2 -2(x-2)^2\\= 3x(-11x) +3x^2 -2(x^2 +4 -4x)\\= -33x^2 + 3x^2 -2x^2 -8+8x\\= -32x^2 +8x - 8\\\implies F(x) = -32x^2 +8x - 8$

Now, here the given statements are:

1. The term $-2(x-2)^2$ is simplified by first squaring the expression (x – 2).

TRUE

2. The simplified product is a binomial. TRUE

3. After multiplying, the like terms are combined by adding and subtracting.

TRUE

4. The parentheses are eliminated through multiplication. TRUE

5. The final simplified product is $-28x^2 + 8x - 8$ FALSE

As the simplified expression is: $(-32x^2 +8x -8)$

Solving Quadratic Equations using the Square Root Property

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

$x = -2$ or $x = -5$

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to complete the square before you can take the square root of both sides.

$x^2 + 7x + 10 = 0$

Subtract 10 from both sides.

$x^2 + 7x = -10$

To complete the square, you need to add the square of half of the x-term coefficient to both sides.

The x-term coefficient is 7. Half of that is 7/2. Square it to get 49/4. Now we add 49/4 to both sides of the equation.

$x^2 + 7x + \dfrac{49}{4} = -10 + \dfrac{49}{4}$

$(x + \dfrac{7}{2})^2 = -\dfrac{40}{4} + \dfrac{49}{4}$

$(x + \dfrac{7}{2})^2 = \dfrac{9}{4}$

Now we use the square root property, if

$x^2 = k$ , then

$x = \pm \sqrt{k}$

$x + \dfrac{7}{2} = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{9}{4}}$

$x + \dfrac{7}{2} = \pm \dfrac{3}{2}$

$x + \dfrac{7}{2} = \dfrac{3}{2}$ or $x + \dfrac{7}{2} = -\dfrac{3}{2}$

$x = -\dfrac{4}{2}$ or $x = -\dfrac{10}{2}$

$x = -2$ or $x = -5$

Well it would be 12/30 but it could divide by 2 which equals 6/15 which can be divided by 3 which equals 2/5 so the answer 2/5
