Factorise 9w² - 100​

Mathematics
1 answer:
ohaa [14]2 years ago

Answer:

9\, w^{2} - 100 = (3\, w - 10) \, (3\, w + 10).

Step-by-step explanation:

Fact:

\begin{aligned} & (a - b)\, (a + b)\\ =\; & a^{2} + a\, b - a\, b - b^{2} \\ =\; & a^{2} - b^{2} \end{aligned}.

In other words, (a^{2} - b^{2}), the difference of two squares in the form a^{2} and b^{2}, could be factorized into (a - b)\, (a + b).

In this question, the expression (9\, w^{2} - 100) is the difference between two terms: 9\, w^{2} and 100.

  • 9\, w^{2} is the square of 3\, w. That is: (3\, w)^{2} = 9\, w^{2}.
  • On the other hand, 10^{2} = 100.

Hence:

9\, w^{2} - 100 = (3\, w)^{2} - (10)^{2}.

Apply the fact that a^{2} - b^{2} = (a - b) \, (a + b) to factorize this expression. (In this case, a = 3\, w whereas b = 10.)

\begin{aligned}& 9\, w^{2} - 100 \\ =\; & (3\, w)^{2} - (10)^{2} \\ = \; & (3\, w - 10)\, (3\, w + 10)\end{aligned}.

Write the quadratic function f(x) = x2 - 5x + 3 in vertex form. Complete the square to determine the maximum or minimum value of
enyata [817]

Answer:

a). Vertex form f the function f(x) = (x - 2.5)²+3.25

b). Maximum value of the function is (-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

a). f(x) = x² - 5x + 3

we have to write this function in the vertex form.

f(x) = x² - 2(2.5)x + 3

    = [(1)²x²- 2(2.5)x + (2.5)²-(2.5)²] + 3

    = (x - 2.5)²- 6.25 + 3

    = (x - 2.5)² - 3.25

So the vertex for of the function is

f(x) = (x - 2.5)² - 3.25

b). Given quadratic function f(x) = -x² - 6x + 6 is in the standard form of f(x) = ax² + bx + c.

By comparing the coefficients of both the functions,

a = -1, b = 6 and c = 6

Here the value of a is negative, therefore, the given parabola is opening downwards.

And the maximum will occur at

x=-\frac{b}{2a}

When we plug in the values,

x=-\frac{6}{2(-1)}

x = 3

Now to get the value of maximum of the function we will get the value of f(3).

f(3) = -(3)²- 6(3) + 6

f(3) = 9 - 18 + 6

f(3) = -3

Therefore, maximum value of the quadratic function is (-3).
