What is a difference of squares that has a factor of x+8?
uysha [10]

Answer:

x^2 - 64

Step-by-step explanation:

A difference of squares is a special product in the form (a^2 - b^2)..their factored form is (a - b)(a + b)..

Thus here a = x and b = 8, thus if x + 8 is a factor, then x - 8 is also a factor..

(x + 8)(x - 8) <-- expand this out using difference of squares rules..

= (x)^2 - (8)^2 

= x^2 - 64 <-- answer...

You could also expand that using FOIL (FOIL - first, outer, inner, last)..

(x + 8)(x - 8) 

= (x)(x) + (x)(-8) + (8)(x) + (8)(-8) 

= x^2 - 8x + 8x - 64 <-- the -8x and 8x cancels out..leaving you with..

= x^2 - 64

Hello please help me! There are 3 questions, I will give brainliest!
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

1) There are 13 students in Jerry's study.

2) There are 39 students in Kathy's study.

3) Jerry's study is more trustworthy!

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Jerry's study is the one with the dot plot.

Now, the number of students is calculated by adding the total number of dots in the plot.

We have a total of 13 dots.

Thus, there are 13 students in Jerry's study.

2) Kathy's study is the one with the histogram.

The total number of students is gotten by adding the corresponding number of students on the y-axis for each range of distance on the x-axis.

Total number of students = 9 + 11 + 7 + 12 = 39 students

3) Jerry's study where he used a dot plot is likely to be more trustworthy because it gives exact values of the number of students for each distance represented whereas, Kathy's study where she used a histogram doesn't give exact values but just gives a range of distances for a particular number of people.

A rectangular field on a farm is to be fenced in using the wall of the barn for one side and 200 meters of fencing for the other
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Rectangular area as a function of x :   A(x)  = 200*x  + 2*x²

A(max) = 5000 m²

Dimensions:

x = 50 m

l  = 100 m

Step-by-step explanation:

"x" is the length of the perpendicular side to the wall of the rectangular area to be fenced, and we call "l" the other side (parallel to the wall of the barn) then:

A(r) = x* l     and the perimeter of the rectangular shape is

P = 2*x + 2*l   but we won´t use any fencing material along the wll of the barn therefore

P  =  2*x + l       ⇒   200 = 2*x  + l      ⇒   l  = 200 - 2*x      (1)

And the rectangular area as a function of x is:

A(x)  = x * ( 200 - 2*x)  ⇒  A(x)  = 200*x  + 2*x²

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:

A´(x)  =  200 - 4*x     ⇒   A´= 0

Then    200 - 4*x  = 0     ⇒   4*x =  200   ⇒  x  = 50 m

We find the l value, plugging the value of x in equation (1)

l  = 200 - 2*x     ⇒ l = 200 - 2*50   ⇒  l = 100  m

A(max)  =  100*50

A(max)  = 5000 m²
