You want to pull out the square roots of each term since they are both perfect squares.

Factor using the difference of squares formula: a2-b2=(a+b)(a-b)

This formula allows the middle term to cancel out.

=x2 - 49

=(x + 7)(x - 7)

ANSWER: (x + 7)(x - 7)

Hope this helps! :)

Solve 2x2 + 20x = −38. (1 point)

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The solutions are $x=-5+\sqrt{6}$ and $x=-5-\sqrt{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$2x^{2} +20x=-38$

Divide by $2$ both sides

$x^{2} +10x=-19$ ------> $x^{2} +10x+19=0$

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form $ax^{2} +bx+c=0$ is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$x^{2} +10x+19=0$

$a=1\\b=10\\c=19$

substitute

$x=\frac{-10(+/-)\sqrt{10^{2}-4(1)(19)}}{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-10(+/-)\sqrt{100-76}}{2}$

$x=\frac{-10(+/-)\sqrt{24}}{2}$

$x=\frac{-10(+/-)2\sqrt{6}}{2}$

$x1=\frac{-10(+)2\sqrt{6}}{2}=-5+\sqrt{6}$

$x2=\frac{-10(-)2\sqrt{6}}{2}=-5-\sqrt{6}$

Find the exact value of cos theta, given that sin thetaequalsStartFraction 15 Over 17 EndFraction and theta is in quadrant II.

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

$cos \theta = -\frac{8}{17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that:

$sin \theta = \frac{15}{17}$

And we want to find the value for $cos \theta$ , so then we can use the following basic identity:

$cos^2 \theta + sin^2 \theta =1$

And if we solve for $cos \theta$ we got:

$cos^2 \theta = 1- sin^2 \theta$

$cos \theta =\pm \sqrt{1-sin^2 \theta}$

And if we replace the value given we got:

$cos \theta =\pm \sqrt{1- (\frac{15}{17})^2}=\sqrt{\frac{64}{289}}=\frac{\sqrt{64}}{\sqrt{289}}=\frac{8}{17}$

For our case we know that the angle is on the II quadrant, and on this quadrant we know that the sine is positive but the cosine is negative so then the correct answer for this case would be:

$cos \theta = -\frac{8}{17}$

The difference between the set of non-negative real numbers and the set of positive real numbers is:

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

C; A singleton set

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, when a number is non-negative; it is either positive or zero

Now, this is because 0 identifies as neither a positive or a negative number

hence, when we find the difference between the two sets, the only number that stands out unmatched is the value 0

What this mean is that we are having a set with a single number result

So we have our answer as {0}

Which is a singleton set
