8x^2+20x+6x+15. Combine like terms. 8x^2+26x+15. When using foil just multiply the contents of one pair of brackets on another pair.
Answer:
12, 13, 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Denote the integers as:
x
x+1
x+2
The sum of their squares, so that would be;
(x^(2)) + (( x + 1 )^(2)) + (( x + 2 )^(2)) = 509
write out the squares
x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 509
combine like terms
3x^2 + 6x + 5 = 509
inverse operations
3x^2 + 6x + 5 = 509
-5 -5
3x^2 + 6x = 504
factor
3x^2 + 6x = 504
3 ( x^2 + 2x ) =504
Inverse operations
3 ( x^2 + 2x ) = 504
/3 /3
x^2 + 2x = 168
Factor again
x ( x + 2 ) = 168
At this point, it should be obvious that x is 12 (because 12 * 14 = 168)
So now substitute back into the consecutive numbers
x = 12
x + 1 = 13
x + 2 = 14
Let us try and solve it analytically. We have that the side=x+3 together with the short side=s and the diagonal=x+4 satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem. Then we have that
. This yields
which yields s^2=2x+7, hence a) is the correct answer.
Answer:
slope = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (0-4)/(0-2)
= -4/-2
= 2
Answer:
Infinite
Step-by-step explanation:
3(4x + 1) - 2
= 12x + 3 - 2 (Multiply the sum in the bracket by 3)
= 12x + 1 (Simplify)
This means that:
12x + 1 = 3(4x + 1) - 2
is the same as
12x + 1 = 12x + 1
Hence, anything that is used to substitute x is correct.
