Antonio needs 8 feet of ribbon to complete a project. He can purchase a 180-inch (15-foot) packaged length for $3.99, or he can

buy the ribbon by the foot for $0.39/ft. Which is the better deal for Antonio?

Answer:

Tricky question, but it would be a better deal if he wants extra ribbon, then he could but the 180 inch and get more for only $3.99. But if he wants to have the exact 8 feet ribbon, it would only be $3.12.

Factor completely x^8- 16.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:


So in this example we'll be using the difference of squares which essentially states that: (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2 or another way to think of it would be: a-b=(\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b})(\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}). So in this example you'll notice both terms are perfect squares. in fact x^n is a perfect square as long as n is even. This is because if it's even it can be split into two groups evenly for example, in this case we have x^8. so the square root is x^4 because you can split this up into (x * x * x * x) * (x * x * x * x) = x^8. Two groups with equal value multiplying to get x^8, that's what the square root is. So using these we can rewrite the equation as:

x^8-16 = (x^4-4)(x^4+4)

Now in this case you'll notice the degree is still even (it's 4) and the 4 is also a perfect square, and it's a difference of squares in one of the factors, so it can further be rewritten:

x^4-4 = (x^2-2)(x^2+2)

So completely factored form is: (x^2-2)(x^2+4)(x^4+4)

I'm assuming that's considered completely factored but you can technically factor it further. While the identity difference of squares technically only applies to difference of squares, it can also be used on the sum of squares, but you need to use imaginary numbers. Because x^2+4 = x^2-(-4). and in this case a=x^2 and b=-4. So rewriting it as the difference of squares becomes: x^4+4 = x^4 - (-4) = (x^2-\sqrt{-4})(x^2+\sqrt{-4}) = (x^2-2i)(x^2+2i) just something that might be useful in some cases.

Keisha bought these supplies for school:
goblinko [34]

Answer:

C. $11.55

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply 4 by $0.85 to get an answer of $3.40. Next, multiply 6 by $1.25 to get an answer of $7.50. Add up the cost of the pencils and pens by adding $3.40 and $7.50 to get $10.90. Next, we have to add the tax. Multiply $10.90 by 0.06 to get $.65. Add the $.65 to the $10.90 for a grand total of $11.55. Hope this helps!
