In the parenthesis: p^3/5 * p^2/5 = p^5/5 (You just add the exponents for multiplication)
p^5/5 is the same as p^1 or just p.
So now we have p^5 in our numerator and p^5 in our denominator. So that simplifies to 1.
Answer: not sure
Step-by-step explanation:
What does x represent?
Answer:
D. 264yards
Step-by-step explanation:
If John swam halfway across a circular pond (radius) and he has gone 132 yds, then the radius of the circular pond is 132yards.
Diameter of the pond = 2×radius of the pond
Diameter of the pond = 2×132
Diameter of the pond = 264yards
Answer:
- (x -3)(x+3)(2x +1)
- (x -1)(x +1)(x +3)
- (2x -1)(2x +1)(x -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 2x³ +x² -18x -9 = x²(2x +1) -9(2x +1) = (x² -9)(2x +1) = (x -3)(x+3)(2x +1)
__
B) x³ +3x² -x -3 = x²(x +3) -1(x +3) = (x² -1)(x +3) = (x -1)(x +1)(x +3)
__
C) 4x³ -16x² -x +4 = 4x²(x -4) -1(x -4) = (4x² -1)(x -4) = (2x -1)(2x +1)(x -4)
_____
In each case, the third-level factoring mentioned in step 4 is the factoring of the difference of squares: a² -b² = (a -b)(a +b).
_____
The step-by-step is exactly what you need to do. It is simply a matter of following those instructions. You do have to be able to recognize the common factors of a pair of terms. That will be the GCF of the numbers and the least powers of the common variables.
