Answer:

A(t) = -6.9375t + 81.88 is the amount, in millions, for the number of Apple iPods sold in t years after 2005.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear function:

A linear function has the following function:

y = mx + b

In which m is the slope(the value that y changes by when x changes by 1) and b is the y-intercept(the initial value of the output).

Finding the value in 2005:

This is b.

The number of Apple iPods sold in 2009 was 54.13 million. That number decreased approximately linearly to 26.38 million iPods sold in 2013.

So in 4 years, it decreased from 54.13 - 26.38 = 27.75 million.

So the value in 2005 should also be 27.75 million more than in 2009, that is 54.13 + 27.75 = 81.88. So

y = mx + 81.88

Using A for y and t for x

A(t) = mt + 81.88

Finding the slope:

When we have two points, the slope is given by the change in the output divided by the change in the input.

In 4 years, the amount decrease by 27.75 million. So

m = -\frac{27.75}{4} = -6.9375

So

A(t) = -6.9375t + 81.88 is the amount, in millions, for the number of Apple iPods sold in t years after 2005.

Factor completely 81x8 − 1. (9x4 − 1)(9x4 + 1) (3x2 − 1)(3x2 + 1)(9x4 − 1) (3x2 − 1)(3x2 + 1)(9x4 + 1) (3x2 − 1)(3x2 + 1)(3x2 +
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

(3x^2 - 1)(3x^2 + 1)(9x^4 + 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the identity for the difference of 2 squares;

a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)  

we put a^2 = 81x^8 and b^2 = 1  giving

a = 9x^4 and b = 1, so:

81x^8 − 1 =   (9x^4 - 1)(9x^4 + 1)

Applying the difference of 2 squares to 9x^4 - 1:

= (3x^2 - 1)(3x^2 + 1)(9x^4 + 1).
