Any number raised to power of 0 is 1.
In (-4x)^0, because of the parenthesis, the whole number is being raided to 0, which gives 1.
But in -4x^0, only x is being raised to 0, thus -4x^0 = -4(1) = -4.
3x² - 21
Factor 3 from both terms:
3 (x² - 7)
To me, that's as far as you should need to go. But if you want to get
completely carried away, you could go one step further, since you have
the difference of two squares:
3 (x + √7) (x - √7)
Of course, there's no end now, because the last binomial could be
considered another difference of two squares, so you'd have to
factor that too:
3 (x + √7) (√x + ⁴√7) (√x - ⁴√7)
but to me, this would be nonsense.
Answer:
r = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
If M is the midpoint of DE, that would mean that the distance from M to D and M to E would be the same.
This creates the equation 1-8r=13-5r.
Now it's just simple algebra.
You add 8r to both sides, creating 1=13+3r. Then, you subtract 13 from both sides, getting 3r=-12. Dividing both sides by 3 and solving for r, you get r=-4.
Checking our answer, you see that 1-8(-4)=1-(-32)=1+32=33, and 13-5(-4)=13-(-20)=13+20=33.
