What is the value of the expression 2 + 32 ⋅ (4 − 1)? <br> A: 24<br> B: 29 <br> C: 33 <br> D: 37
Paul [167]

For this case we have the following expression:

2 + 3 ^ 2 * (4 - 1)

Rewriting the expression we have:

1) First we subtract the numbers within the parenthesis:

2 + 3 ^ 2 * (3)

2) Then, we solve the exponents:

2 + 9 * (3)

3) Then, multiplication:

2 + 27

4) Finally, the addition of numbers is made:

29

Answer:

the value of the expression is:

B: 29

URGENT PLEASE HELP 45 POINTS! Complete this activity. Given: f(x) = x + 2 <br><br> [f(x)] 2 =
ivanzaharov [21]

We are told that f(x) = x + 2. We want to find (f(x))^{2}.

Squaring f(x) on one side means we square x + 2 on the other.

So,

f(x) = x + 2

(f(x))² = (x + 2)²

= (x + 2)(x + 2)

We can use FOIL to square x + 2. The first terms multiply to x², the outside terms to 2x, the inside terms to 2x and the last terms to 4.

= x² + 2x + 2x + 4

= x² + 4x + 4


So [f(x)]² = x² + 4x + 4

81 is 37.5% of what number?
laila [671]

Hi,

81 is 37.5% of 216.

"1. We assume, that the number 37.5 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.  

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.  

3. If 100% equals 37.5, so we can write it down as 100%=37.5.  

4. We know, that x% equals 81 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=81.  

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=37.5

2) x%=81

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

100%/x%=37.5/81

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 81 is what percent of 37.5

100%/x%=37.5/81

(100/x)*x=(37.5/81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=0.46296296296296*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.46296296296296) to get x

100/0.46296296296296=x  

216=x  

x=216                          "

Have a great day!
