<h3>Answer:   -133</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

p-q = -7

(p-q)^2 = (-7)^2

p^2-2pq+q^2 = 49

p^2-2(-10)+q^2 = 49

p^2+20+q^2 = 49

p^2+q^2 = 49-20

p^2+q^2 = 29

By the difference of cubes formula, we can say,

p^3 - q^3 = (p-q)*(p^2+pq+q^2)

p^3 - q^3 = (p-q)*(p^2+q^2+pq)

p^3 - q^3 = (-7)*(29-10)

p^3 - q^3 = -133

--------------

Here's another way to solve:

p-q = -7

p = q-7

pq = -10

(q-7)*q = -10

q^2-7q = -10

q^2-7q+10 = 0

(q-5)(q-2) = 0

q-5 = 0 or q-2 = 0

q = 5 or q = 2

If q = 5, then p = q-7 = 5-7 = -2

If q = 2, then p = q-7 = 2-7 = -5

We can see that no matter what we pick for q, we'll get p*q = -10

Also, you should find that p^3-q^3 is equal to -133 for either case as well.

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

y=-9/2x-10

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-1-8)/(-2-(-4))

m=-9/(-2+4)

m=-9/2

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-8=-9/2(x-(-4))

y-8=-9/2(x+4)

y=-9/2x-36/2+8

y=-9/2x-18+8

y=-9/2x-10

Help! This is so confusing please
Rus_ich [418]

Given equation is f(x)=6^x

Now it says to find f(2)

that simply means plug x=2 because we see that 2 is written in place of x in f(x) and f(2)

f(2)=6^2

f(2)=6*6

f(2)=36

Hence final answer is f(2)=36

The coffee jug hold four times as much as the milk jug everyone has the same sized cup but each person likes different amounts o
svetlana [45]
We will assume that each of their cups holds exactly 1 cup of liquid.  Let <em>m</em> represent milk and <em>c</em> represent coffee.
Jane = 1/2<em>m</em> + 1/2<em>c</em> to represent 1/2 milk and 1/2 coffee
Jean, June, and Joan = 3(1/4<em>m</em> + 3/4<em>c</em>) [they all 3 like the same ratio, so multiply the expression by 3], to represent 1/4 milk and 3/4 coffee
Ian = 1<em>c </em>(since he likes black coffee, his entire 1-cup dish of coffee will be coffee)
Adding these together we have:
1/2<em>m</em> + 1/2<em>c</em> + 3(1/4<em>m</em> + 3/4<em>c</em>) + 1<em>c</em>
= 1/2<em>m</em> + 1/2<em>c</em> + 3/4<em>m</em> + 9/4<em>c</em> + 1<em>c</em>
Find a common denominator:
= 2/4<em>m</em> + 2/4<em>c</em> + 3/4<em>m</em> + 9/4<em>c</em> + 1<em>c</em>
Convert the 1 whole to a fraction:
= 2/4<em>m</em> + 2/4<em>c</em> + 3/4<em /><em>m</em> + 9/4<em>c</em> + 4/4<em>c</em>
Combine your <em>m</em>'s:
= 5/4<em>m</em> + 2/4<em>c</em> + 9/4<em>c</em> + 4/4<em>c</em>
Combine your <em>c</em>'s:
= 5/4<em>m</em> + 15/4<em>c</em>
We know there is 4 times as much coffee as milk.  Looking at the two fractions we have left, we can see that 15/4<em /> = 3(5/4).  We would expect to see 4(5/4), since there is 4 times as much coffee.  That means we have 5/4 or 1 1/4 of the liquid left.
