Factor 9x^2+66xy+121y^2

1 answer:

7 0

Answer: (3x + 11y)^2

Demonstration:

The polynomial is a perfect square trinomial, because:

1) √ [9x^2] = 3x

2) √121y^2] = 11y

3) 66xy = 2 *(3x)(11y)

Then it is factored as a square binomial, being the factored expression:

[ 3x + 11y]^2

Now you can verify working backwar, i.e expanding the parenthesis.

Remember that the expansion of a square binomial is:

- square of the first term => (3x)^2 = 9x^2
- double product of first term times second term =>2 (3x)(11y) = 66xy
- square of the second term => (11y)^2 = 121y^2

=> [3x + 11y]^2 = 9x^2 + 66xy + 121y^2, which is the original polynomial.

Answer:

$174.66\ mi$ or $175\ mi$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Applying the law of cosines

$c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}-2(a)(b)cos(C)$

In this problem we have

$a=200\ mi$

$b=30\ mi$

$C=30\°$

substitute the values

$c^{2}=200^{2}+30^{2}-2(200)(30)cos(30\°)$

$c^{2}=30,507.695$

$c=174.66\ mi$

Consider a circle whose equation is x2 + y2 + 4x – 6y – 36 = 0. Which statements are true? Check all that apply. To begin conver

umka21 [38]

Answer:

1) False, to begin converting the equation to standard form, each side must be added by 36. 2) True, to complete the square for the x terms, add 4 to both sides, 3) True, the center of the circle is at (-2, 3), 4) False, the center of the circle is at (-2, 3), 5) False, the radius of the circle is 7 units, 6) False, the radius of the circle is 7 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let prove the validity of each choice:

1) To begin converting the equation to standard form, subtract 36 from both sides:

Let consider the following formula and perform the following algebraic operations:

(i) $x^{2} + y^{2} + 4\cdot x - 6\cdot y - 36 = 0$ Given

(ii) $x^{2} + 4\cdot x + y^{2} - 6\cdot y - 36 = 0$ Commutative Property

(iii) $(x^{2} + 4\cdot x + 4) - 4 + (y^{2} - 6\cdot y + 9) - 9 -36 = 0$ Modulative/Associative Property/Additive Inverse Existence

(iv) $(x+ 2)^{2} - 4 + (y - 3)^{2} - 9 - 36 = 0$ Perfect Trinomial Square

(v) $(x+2)^{2} +(y-3)^{2} = 4 + 9 + 36$ Commutative Property/Compatibility with Addition/Additive Inverse Existence/Modulative Property

(vi) $(x+2)^{2} + (y-3)^{2} = 49$ Definition of Addition/Result

False, to begin converting the equation to standard form, each side must be added by 36.

2) True, step (iii) on exercise 1) indicates that both side must be added by 4.

3) The general equation for a circle centered at (h, k) is of the form:

$(x-h)^{2}+ (y-k)^{2} = r^{2}$

Where $r$ is the radius of the circle.

By direct comparison, it is evident that circle is centered at (-2,3).

True, step (vi) on exercise 1) indicates that center of the circle is at (-2, 3).

4) False, step (vi) on exercise 1) indicates that the center of the circle is at (-2, 3), not in (4, -6).

5) After comparing both formulas, it is evident that radius of the circle is 7 units.

False, the radius of the circle is 7 units.

6) After comparing both formulas, it is evident that radius of the circle is 7 units.

False, the radius of the circle is 7 units.
