Answer: Smaller
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplying a number by 1.25 increases it by a quarter
Multiplying a number by 0.75 decreases it by a quarter
1.25 / 0.75 = 0.9375
Thus, increasing something by a quarter then decreasing it by a quarter, you are effectively multiplying that number by 0.9375, which is less than 1, so the number will decrease.
Answer:
76
Step-by-step explanation:
given a quadratic equation in standard form : ax² + bx + c = 0 : a ≠ 0
then the discriminant is Δ = b² - 4ac
given 3x² - 10x = - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )
3x² - 10x + 2 = 0 ← in standard form
with a = 3, b = - 10 and c = 2
b² - 4ac = (- 10)² - (4 × 3 × 2) = 100 - 24 = 76
Answer:
1. C. Yes, because a sum of cubes can be factored
2a. false
2b. false
2c. true
2d. false (based on what is written in the equation; refer to step-by-step)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Both 3 and 8 can be cubed, which is why x^3+8 can be factored (x+2)(x^2-2x+4)
2a. a^2-b^2 can be factored by the perfect square rule, so it should be (a-b)^2
2b. both terms are perfect squares, so you can factor, making it (a+b)(a-b)
2c. You can factor using the perfect square rule, making it (a+b)^2
2d. Most of what is in the equation is true, yet the correct solution would be (a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)
