Answer:

x(x + 3)(x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

What we're given is a difference of squares multiplied by x. If we start by factoring x out, we can simply expand the binomial:

x³ - 9x

= x(x² - 9)

= x(x + 3)(x - 3)

Any time you see an expression in the format a² - b², that is called a difference of squares, and can always be expanded out to (a + b)(a - b). In this case, a is x, and b is 3.

Answer:

x(x+3)(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor out common term x

=x(x^2-9)

Factor x^2-9;

(x+3)(x-3)

=x(x+3)(x-3)

9 games

You can get this by multiplying each percentage by the total number of games to see what they have to expect.

.55*180 = 99 games (red team)

.60*180 = 108 games (blue team)

Now subtract the blue team expectation from the red team.

108 - 99 = 9 games.

On Naomi's cell phone plan, the amount she pays each month for international text messages is proportional to the number of inte

Lostsunrise [7]

A) The constant of proportionality in this proportional relationship is $k = \frac{y}{x}$

B) The equation to represent this proportional relationship is y = 0.2x

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that,

The amount Naomi pays each month for international text messages is proportional to the number of international texts she sends that month

Therefore,

This is a direct variation proportion

$\text{ amount Naomi pays each month } \propto \text{ number of international texts she sends that month}$

Let "y" be the amount that Naomi pays each month

Let "x" be the number of international texts she sends that month

Therefore,

$y \propto x$

y = kx -------- eqn 1

Where, "k" is the constant of proportionality

Thus the constant of proportionality in this proportional relationship is:

$k = \frac{y}{x}$

<em><u>Last month, she paid $3.20 for 16 international texts</u></em>

Therefore,

y = 3.20

x = 16

Thus from eqn 1,

$3.20 = k \times 16\\\\k = \frac{3.20}{16}\\\\k = 0.2$

Substitute k = 0.2 in eqn 1

y = 0.2x

The equation would then be y = 0.2x
