This is Adele's solution for the equation x^2 + 8x - 9 = 0 Step 1 x^2 + 8x - 9 = 0 Step 2 x^2 + 8x = 9 Step 3 ( x + 4 )^2 = 25 S

tep 4 x + 4 = 25 or x + 4 = - 25 Step 5 x = 21 or x = - 29. Where did Adele make her mistake. Show all of your work. ​

The mistake was in step one when she added the 9 to both sides

x^2 + 8x - 9 = 0
__ + __ = 8 (b)
__ • __ = -9 (a•c)
blanks = -1 and 9
(x - 1)(x + 9)
Solve for x in each one
x = 1 or -9

Choose the expression that represents a cubic expression.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

10x³ - 6x² - 9x + 12 is a cubic expression ⇒ 2nd

6x + 6 is a linear expression ⇒ 1st

5x² + 9x - 1 is a quadratic expression ⇒ 2nd

Quadratic expression ⇒ 1st

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the degree of any expression

- The degree of any expression is the greatest power of the variable

- Ex:

# 3x - 3 is a first degree expression

# x² - 3x + 2  is a second degree expression

# 5x³ - 2x² + 5x - 2 is a third degree expression

- The first degree expression is called linear expression

- The second degree expression is called quadratic expression

- The third degree expression is called cubic expression

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The cubic expression is the expression with greatest power of 3

∴ 10x³ - 6x² - 9x + 12 is the cubic expression

∵ The linear expression is the expression with greatest power of 1

∴ 6x + 6 is a linear expression

∵ The quadratic expression is the expression with greatest power of 2

∴ 5x² + 9x - 1 is a quadratic expression

∵ The expression is -2x² + 11

∵ The greatest power of x is 2

∴ -2x² + 11 is a quadratic expression

Someone told me the answer was 39?? Is this true? Why ? please help.
Ira Lisetskai [31]
The problem has the equation:

f(x) = (3) ^ (x/2)

In order to get the average increase in the number of flowers being pollinated from day 4 to day 10, then we need to use the equation substituting x with 4 to 10

f(4) = 9
f(5) = 12.59
f(6) = 27
f(7) = 46.77
f(8) = 81
f(9) = 140.30
f(10) = 243

Then add all the values and divide it by 7
 = 559.66 / 7
= 79.95

So the correct answer is 79.95
