1.) 4(x+3)
Find the GCF, Greatest Common Factor, of 4x and 12.
4x=2*2*x
12=3*2*2
The greatest common factor is 4. Put this outside of the parentheses. (You would multiply the 2*2)
Then, put the rest of the factors as a sum. (Only the factors on the same line.)
Solution: 4(x+3)
To check, distribute to see if it works.
4x+12
2.) 2(4r+7)
Find the GCF of 8r and 14
8r=2*2*2*r
14= -1*7*2
The greatest common factor is 2. (There is only 1 two, so you would not multiply them.)
Then, put the rest of the factors as a sum. (Only the factors on the same line.)
Multiply the 2*2*r as one addend and the -1*7 as the other.
Solution: 2(4r-7)
To check, distribute to see if it works.
8r-14
Do you get it now?
3.) 5(x+7)
4.) 7(2x+1)
5.) Cannot be factored.
32x-15
Find the GCF of 32x and -15
32x: 2*2*2*2*2*x
-15: -1*5*3
Because there are no similar factors other than 1, it cannot be factored.
6.) 8(4x+3)
7.) 3(2x-3)
8.) 24(1x+2)
9.) 9(-2x+8)
10.) Cannot be factored
11.) 8(1x+3)
12.) 50(1x+5)
1. (3 + xz)(–3 + xz)
2. (y² – xy)(y² + xy)
3. (64y2 + x2)(–x2 + 64y2)
Explanation
The difference of 2 squares is in the form (a+b)(a-c).
(3 + xz)(–3 + xz) = (3 + xz)(xz -3)
= (xz + 3)(xz - 3)
= x²y²-3xy+3xy-9
=x²y² - 3²
(y² – xy)(y² + xy) = y⁴+xy³-xy³-x²y²
= y⁴ - x²y²
(64y2 + x2)(–x2 + 64y2)= (64y²+x²)(64y²-x²)
= 4096y⁴-64y²x²+64y²x²-x⁴
= 4096y⁴ - x⁴
The third one down is the correct answer. (-55 and 1)
L = total length
D = number of days
they add 3 miles per day which = 3D
equation: L = 59 +3D
if they worked for 34 days, replace D with 34 to get:
L = 59 +3(34) =
L=59 + 102
L=161 miles total length after 34 days
This is hard in mathematical language, but there is only this way to present it. Let us denote by A the consentration of the substance and by A' its rate.
We have that b/A= t+c where c is a constant.
Hence A=b/(c+t)
By differentiating, we get that A'=-b/(C+t)^2
Then, we have that -(A)^2=A'/b
Hence at any point, we have that if we make the concentration 17 times, we have that there is a 17 times bigger , the rate will become bigger by 17*17, hence 289 times faster.
