Factorise 9w² - 100​

Mathematics
1 answer:
ohaa [14]3 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}.

If f ( x ) = 3x² - 5x + 7 , Show that f ( -1 ) = 3 f ( 1 ) .<br><br><br><br><br>Tysm :')​
Lelechka [254]

Solution :

  • 3x² - 5x + 7

put x = -1

  • 3(-1)² - 5(-1) + 7

  • 3(1) + 5 + 7

  • 3 + 12

  • 15

Now, put x = 1

  • 3(1)² - 5(1) + 7

  • 3(1) - 5 + 7

  • 3 + 2

  • 5

here :

  • f(-1) = 15

  • f(-1) = 3(5)

  • f(-1) = 3 f(1)

Your test scores for the semester are 87,84 and 85.Can you raise your test average to 90 with you next test?
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add 87.84, 85, and 100 you get 272.84. Once you divide that by 3 you get 90.946, which would be your test average if you score 100 on your next test.

Write the equation of the line that has a slope of -2 and goes through the point (-3,4).
liubo4ka [24]

<u>SOLUTION:</u>

General Equation: y = mx + b

.

Substitute slope = -2 into the equation:

y = -2x + b

.

Find the y-intercept:

4 = -2(-3) + b

4 = 6 + b

b = -2

.

Substitute b = -2 into the equation:

y = -2x - 2

.

Answer: y = -2x - 2
