Answer:

p = -4 q = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the brackets ( yes the entire thing).
group together the values with same co-effiecients; like (q+p)x^3 etc etc.
equate the co-effiecients on the left hand side to the now grouped ones on the right, for example [x^3]: -2x^3= (q+p)x^3, the x^3 cancels and ull get an equation only in terms of p and q. do the same for [x] and ull get an equation with only q, solve this and get the value for q [q = 2].
sub in this value for the [x^3] equation and ull get an answer for p [p= -4].

hope my explanation is understandable lol

Which expression is equivalent to (z−3)4z−6 for all values of z where the expression is defined?

kvv77 [185]

The equivalent of the expression [ (z−3)4z−6 ] is 4z² - 12z - 6.

<h3>What is the equivalent of the expression?</h3>

Given the expression; (z−3)4z−6

First, we apply distributive property.

(z−3)4z−6

z(4z) - 3(4z) - 6

We remove the parentheses

4z² - 12z - 6

Therefore, the equivalent of the expression [ (z−3)4z−6 ] is 4z² - 12z - 6.

Answer:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{37}}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x=\frac{-(-7)\pm\sqrt{(-7)^2-4(3)(1)}}{2(3)}\\\\x=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{49-12}}{6}\\ \\x=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{37}}{6}$
