Answer:
f(-1) = 121
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = (5-6x)^2 (First we will substitute x for -1)
f(-1) = (5-6(-1))^2 (Then we will combine like terms)
f(-1) = (11)^2 (Then we will square it)
f(-1) = 121 (You are done)
Answer:
It is a perfect square expression.
It factors to (x+2)^2
===========================================================
Explanation:
The general format for a perfect square is
(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
Which can be seen through the use of the FOIL rule.
Compare x^2+4x+4 with a^2+2ab+b^2, and we have these three equivalences:
- x^2 = a^2 .... first terms
- 4x = 2ab .... middle terms
- 4 = b^2 .... last terms
Since x^2 = a^2, we can apply the square root to both sides to get a = x. Similarly, 4 = b^2 leads to b = 2. We could get b = -2, but that would mean 2ab = 2x*(-2) = -4x instead of 4x. So we'll stick with b = 2 instead.
Because a = x and b = 2, we then can say:
(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
(x+2)^2 = x^2 + 2*x*2 + 2^2
(x+2)^2 = x^2 + 4x + 4
Showing that x^2+4x+4 factors to (x+2)^2.
Answer:
common denominator of 1/a + 1/b is ab
however simplifying the complex fraction gives: (b-a)/(b +a)
Step-by-step explanation:
common denominator of 1/a + 1/b
should be the product of the denominators
a*b
so 1/a + 1/b = (b + a)/ab
ao
( 1/a - 1/b) divided by (1/a + 1/b) = (b - a)/(ab) divided by (b+a)/ab
6 + 2 = 12
When 2 = 3
Change the equation to: 6 + 3
So,
6 + 3 = 9
You're answer is 9
