Answer: 25x² - 64
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
(5x + 8)(5x - 8)
= 5x(5x - 8) + 8(5x - 8)
= 25x² - 40x + 40x - 64
= 25x² + 0x - 64
= 
NOTE: descending powers means the biggest exponent goes first, then the next biggest exponent, etc.
For example: x⁴ then x³ then x² then x then the number (which is actually x⁰)
Answer:
y = 2/3x +6 for x< -3
y = 2/3x +1 for x> 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph is a line for x < -3
( - 6,2) and ( -3,4)
The slope is m= ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = ( 4-2)/(-3 - -6) = 2/ ( -3+6) = 2/3
The slope is 2/3
Using point slope form
y-y1 = m(x-x1) and the point ( -6,2)
y -2 = 2/3(x - -6)
y -2 = 2/3(x +6)
y-2 = 2/3 x +4
y = 2/3x +6 x< -3
The graph is a line for x > 3
(3,3) and ( 6,5)
The slope is m= ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = ( 5-3)/(6-3) = 2/ (3) = 2/3
The slope is 2/3
Using point slope form
y-y1 = m(x-x1) and the point (6,5)
y -5 = 2/3(x - 6)
y-5 = 2/3 x -4
y = 2/3x +1 x> 3
Answer:
It has to be a single digit between 1 and 10
Total cost = $13.05 + 10.26
= $23.31
Indivdual pay = $23.31 / 3
= $7.77 each
