the answer is D I'm pretty sure!!
We would need to know how many are in each box to figure this out.
Answer: 2a - 7
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Ana: a
Mrs Vargas: 4a - 4
Leo: 2a + 3
Mrs Vargas - Leo
= (4a - 4) - (2a + 3)
= 4a - 4 -2a - 3
= 2a - 7
Answer:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar one:
<em>After the release of radioactive material into the atmosphere from a nuclear power plant, the hay was contaminated by iodine 131 ( half-life, 8 days). If it is all right to feed the hay to cows when 10% of the iodine 131 remains, how long did the farmers need to wait to use this hay? </em>
iodine's half life (we are given x, we need to find b):
0.5A₀ = A₀eᵇˣ
x = 8 days
we eliminate A₀ from both sides
0.5 = eᵇ⁸
ln 0.5 = ln eᵇ⁸
-0.69315 = b8
b = -0.69315 / 8 = -0.08664
since the farmers need to wait until only 10% of the iodine remains (we already calculated b, now we need to find x):
0.1A₀ = A₀eᵇˣ
0.1 = eᵇˣ
ln 0.1 = bx
where b = -0.08664
x = ln 0.1 / -0.08664 = -2.302585 / -0.08664 = 26.58 days
Let us take 'a' in the place of 'y' so the equation becomes
(y+x) (ax+b)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1:</u>
(a + x) (ax + b)
<u>Step 2: Proof</u>
Checking polynomial identity.
(ax+b )(x+a) = FOIL
(ax+b)(x+a)
ax^2+a^2x is the First Term in the FOIL
ax^2 + a^2x + bx + ab
(ax+b)(x+a)+bx+ab is the Second Term in the FOIL
Add both expressions together from First and Second Term
= ax^2 + a^2x + bx + ab
<u>Step 3: Proof
</u>
(ax+b)(x+a) = ax^2 + a^2x + bx + ab
Identity is Found
.
Trying with numbers now
(ax+b)(x+a) = ax^2 + a^2x + bx + ab
((2*5)+8)(5+2) =(2*5^2)+(2^2*5)+(8*5)+(2*8)
((10)+8)(7) =(2*25)+(4*5)+(40)+(16)
(18)(7) =(50)+(20)+(56)
126 =126
