Answer:

middle term = 7x

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to find the middle term, we will expand the bracket on the left hand side and compare the expressions on both sides.

(x + 2) (3x + 1) = 3x² + ___ + 2

let the unknown expression = y

(x + 2) (3x + 1) = 3x² + y + 2

Expanding the bracket on the left hand side by multiplication:

x + 2( 3x + 1) = (x × 3x) + (x × 1) + (2 × 3x) + ( 2 × 1)

= 3x² + x + 6x + 2

= 3x² + 7x + 2

Comparing with the expression on the right hand side:

3x² + 7x + 2 =  3x² + y + 2

∴ y = 7x

middle term = 7x

Answer:

125

Step-by-step explanation:

x(t) = x0 × (1 + r) t

where:

x(t) = the amount of some quantity at time t

x0 = initial amount at time t = 22

r = the growth rate

t = time

What is the difference between x and dx?
N76 [4]

This response is based upon your having had some background in calculus. "dx" is not introduced before that.

Take a look at the sample function y = f(x) = x^2 + 9. Here x is the independent variable; the dependent variable y changes with x.

Now, for a big jump: we consider finding the area under a curve (graph) between x = a and x = b. We subdivide that interval [a,b] into n vertical slices of area. Each of those slices has its own area: f(x)*dx, where dx represents the width of such subarea. f(x)*dx is the actual subarea. To find the total area under the curve f(x) between x= a and x = b, we add up all of these individual subareas between x = a and x = b. Note that the subinterval width is

b-a

dx = ---------- , and that dx becomes smaller and smaller as the number of

n subintervals increases.

Once again, this all makes sense only if you've begun calculus (particularly integral calculus). Do not try to relate it to earlier math courses.
