Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
9x² - 4
can be factored as a difference of squares , that is
(U + V)(U - V)
9x² - 4 = (3x)² - (2y³)²
with U = 2x and V = 2y³
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(x−a)(x−b)=x2−(a+b)x+ab
Now, this with the third bracket.
(x2−(a+b)x+ab)(x−c)=x3−(a+b+c)x2+(ac+bc+ab)x−abc
But there’s another way to do this, which is easier. Assume the given expression is equal to 0, then, we can form a cubic equation as
x3−(sum−of−roots)x2+(product−of−roots−taken−two−at−a−time)x−(product−of−roots) , which is essentially what we got above.
Answer:
So calculate the negative answers and turn them into absolute value. Then put them in order.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since they are similar, you need to find the ratio of similarity (I made up the term, there is probably a correct one that I can’t remember).
If you divide 16/40, you’ll find that that ratio is 2.5. So then you just multiply 16 x 2.5. You’ll get 18.
18 is the length of the top of the trapezoid.
You set 18=2x+4 and solve it algebraically. Subtract 4 from both sides.
14=2x
Divide by 2 and x=7
(You can also check that the ratio is right by 16/18 is the same decimal value as 40/45. You’ll get .88888...)
7 because it is whole number
