Answer:

x³+8

Step-by-step explanation:

(x − a)(x^2 +ax + a^2)

a=2

Substitute a for 2 in the algebraic expression

(x − 2)(x^2 +2x + 2^2)

(x − 2)(x^2 +2x + 4)

Multiply (x^2 +2x + 4) by (x-2)

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

x³+2x²+4x-2x²-4x-8

Collect like terms

x³+2x²-2x²+4x-4x+8

x³+8

rodikova [14]

Answer: (8^{12})^3=8^{12\times 3}=8^{36}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  the expression (8^{12})^3

We have to simplify the given  expression and choose the correct from the given options.

Consider the expression (8^{12})^3

Using property of exponents,

The length of a rectangular room is one less than twice the width. The area of the room is 28 square feet. Find the dimensions o
Sholpan [36]

The first step to solve this problem is to represent variables for the width and the length:

Let w = width of the rectangle

      2w – 1 = length of the rectangle

The formula to compute for the area of the rectangle is:

A = LW

Substituting the values and variables to the formula:

28 = w (2w – 1)

2w^2 – w = 28

2w^2 – w – 28 = 0

Solve the quadratic equation:

(2w + 7)(w – 4) = 0

w = -7/2 or w = 4

You cannot use the -7/2 because there is no negative measurement.

W = 4 feet

L = 2(4) – 1 = 7 feet

Therefore the dimension of the rectangle is 4 feet by 7 feet.
