Answer:

(a - b)^2 = 49 - 4b^2 +2ab

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: a^2 + b^2 = 7b (assuming A is really “a”)

b^2 + (2b - a)^2 = 7^2

Find; (a - b)^2

Plan: Use Algebraic Manipulation

Start with b^2 + (2b - a)^2 = 7^2 =>

b^2 + 4b^2 - 4ab + a^2 = 49 by expanding the binomial.

a^2 + b^2 + 4b^2 - 4ab = 49 rearranging terms

a^2 + b^2 -2ab - 2ab + 4b^2 = 49 =>

a^2 - 2ab + b^2 = 49 - 4b^2 +2ab rearranging and subtracting 4b^2 and adding 2ab to both sides of the equation and by factoring a^2 - 2ab + b^2

(a - b)^2 = 49 - 4b^2 +2ab

Double Check: recalculated ✅ ✅

(a - b)^2 = 49 - 4b^2 +2ab

Does each function describe exponential growth or decay?

Aleksandr [31]

<h3>Answer: Only first two are exponential growth function and last three functions are exponential decay functions.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation: We need to describe exponential growth or decay for the given functions.

The standard exponential function equation is

$y=a(b)^x$ .

Where a is the initial value and b is the growth factor.

Note: If value of b > 1, it would be an exponential growth and if b < 1, it would be an exponential decay.

Let us check them one by one.

$y=(1.008^{1/12}})^{12t}$ => $y=(1.008^})^{1/12\times{12t} }$

=> $y= (1.008)^t$ .

Value of b is 1.008 > 1, therefor it's an exponential growth function.

y=250(1+0.004)^t, also have b>1 therefor it's an exponential growth function.

All other functions has b values less than 1, therefore only first two are exponential growth function and last three functions are exponential decay functions.

Grace had $51 when she browsed an on-line store, which sells a pair of green earrings for $9.00 each plus a one-time $6.00 shipp

vitfil [10]

Answer:

5 Green earrings

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total amount held = $51

Cost per pair of green earrings = $9

One time shipping fee = $6

How many pairs of green earrings did grace purchase?

Let the number of green earrings purchased = g

Then,

$9*g + $6 = $51

$9g + $6 = $51

$9g = $51 - $6

$9g = $45

g = $45 / $9

g = 5

Hence, the number of green earrings purchased = 5

V (t)=32t <br> If a rock dropped off a bridge, how fast will it be falling after 3 seconds

kondor19780726 [428]

V(t) = 32t

when t = 3 seconds,

V = 32*3

V = 96

So velocity will be 96 units/s after 3 seconds.
