A gallon is 4 times larger than a quart because there are 4 quarts in 1 gallon!
<h3>
Answer: 4(x - 1)(x^2 + x + 1)</h3>
==================================================
Work Shown:
4x^3 - 4
4(x^3 - 1)
4(x - 1)(x^2 + x + 1)
In the last step, I used the difference of cubes factoring formula which is
a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2)
Answers:
Part A: The value of x must be 0
Part B: The value of x can be any real number
----------------------------------------------------------------
Explanation:
Part A) We have the equation (7^2)^x = 1 which simplifies to 7^(2x) = 1. The only way to get the left side equal to the right side is to have the exponent of 2x equal zero. If 2x = 0, then x = 0. So that's why x = 0 is the only solution here.
--------------
Part B) Similar to part A above, but the exponent is slightly different now. We have (7^0)^x = 1 which turns into 7^(0*x) = 1. The exponent 0*x is really 0 no matter what x is. We can plug in any real number we want for x and the left side will always be 1. This is why the solution set to this equation is the set of all real numbers.
Can you rewrite the equation? It doesn’t make sense
