Factor completely: x2-4

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lelechka [254]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

(x+2)(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation

x times x equals x^2, 2 times x equals 2x, -2 times x equals -2x, and 2 times -2 equals -4. If you add that up, the x-values cancel out, leaving the x^2 and the -4. (This explanation is working it backwards which is the easiest way IMO)

As you can see I keep getting questions wrong.... Can you answer the last question?
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

  y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

It is always a good idea to look at the question and make some observations about it. Here, you might observe ...

  • all of the bases are powers of 3: 243 = 3^5; 9 = 3^2
  • y is a factor of every exponent

The latter observation is important, because it means that when y=0, every exponential expression has a value of 1. Hence y = 0 is a solution.

__

To solve the equation, you can write it in terms of powers of 3.

  (3^5)^(-y) = (3^-5)^(3y)·(3^2)^(-2y)

  3^(-5y) = 3^(-15y)·3^(-4y)

  3^(-5y) = 3^(-19y)

  -5y = -19y . . . . . . . . equating exponents; equivalent to taking log base 3

  14y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . add 19y

  y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . one solution

______

The rules of exponents we used are ...

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

  (a^b)^c = a^(bc)

  1/a^b = a^-b

A farmer wants to fence an area of 6 million square feet in a rectangular field and then divide it in half with a fence parallel
Vilka [71]


If the rectangular field has notional sides X and y then it has area
A(x) =xy { =6•10^6 sq ft }
The length of fencing required, if
x
is the letter that was arbitrarily assigned to the side to which the dividing fence runs parallel, is:l (x) = 3x +2y

It matters not that the farmer wishes to divide the area into 2 exact smaller areas.
Assuming the cost of the fencing is proportional to the length of fencing required, then
C(x)=a L (x)

To optimise cost, using the Lagrange Multiplier
λ
, with the area constraint :

So the farmer minimises the cost by fencing-off in the ratio 2:3, either-way
