Using the pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2
a=35
b=12
c=?
1225+144=1369
square root of 1369 is 37
Therefore his golf club will fit because it is 35 inches long and the box is 37 inches long at an angle.
72 total pupils
8x passed the test, x did not
8x + x = 72
9x = 72
x = 8
So since 8x passed the test, substitute 8 for x
8(8) = 64
64 pupils passed the exam
Answer:
1)
(x + 3)(x + 4) = x^2 + 4x + 3x + 12 = x^2 + 7x + 12
Instead of multiplying 3 and 4 the student added them which gave them the answer of 7 when the correct answer is 12.
2)
a) x^2 + x - 2
b) x^2 - 7x + 10
c) 4x^2 - 1
d) x^2 + 10x + 25
Step-by-step explanation:
a. (x - 1)(x + 2)
x(x) - 1(x) + 2(x) - 1(2)
x^2 - 1x + 2x - 2
x^2 + x - 2
------------------------------------------
b. (x - 5)(x - 2)
x(x) - 5(x) - 2(x) - 5(-2)
x^2 - 5x - 2x + 10
x^2 - 7x + 10
------------------------------------------
c. (2x + 1)(2x - 1)
2x(2x) + 1(2x) - 1(2x) + 1(-1)
4x^2 + 2x - 2x - 1
4x^2 - 1
------------------------------------------
d. (x + 5)^2
(x + 5)(x + 5)
x(x) + 5(x) + 5(x) + 5(5)
x^2 + 5x + 5x + 25
x^2 + 10x + 25
