Answer:

{b}^{2}  - 4ac = 0 \\  { ( - k  - 2)}^{2}  - 4(1)(4)  = 0\\  {k}^{2}  + 4k + 4 - 4 = 0 \\ {k}^{2}  + 4k = 0 \\ k(k + 4) = 0 \\  \therefore \: k = 0 \:  or \: k =  - 4

Question 1: Explain how the letter x (or any letter) is used when writing expressions, and give an example. How are expressions
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Question 1:

The letter x or any letter used when writing an expression is representative of  unit of an idea, quantity or measure, such that it can be translated in the expression to provide information about a related idea

Question 2:

The expression can be translated as two times the expression three (variable) x minus two (variable) y plus the constant 7

Question 3:

In the first expression, the like terms are;

10y and (-2y),

3x and x

In the second expression, the like terms are;

-y and -2y

3x and 4x

The first expression simplifies to 8y + 4x + 10

The second expression simplifies to  7x - 3y + 6

Question 4:

The expression is evaluated as 122

Question 5:

The equivalent expression of the expression 3(4x + 2y) + 5x, is 17x + 6y

To prove when x = 1 and y = 2 we have;

3(4×1 + 2×2) + 5×1 is 29

17×1 + 6×2 is 29 which are equivalent in value

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

The letter x or any letter used when writing an expression is representative of  unit of an idea, quantity or measure, such that it can be translated in the expression to provide information about a related idea

Example;

If x is the symbol representing the average number of oranges sold in 1 hour, then the expression for the number of oranges sold per day of 24 hours  = 24·x

An expression is a written mathematical symbolic statement that shows the the finite merging together of representative symbols by the mathematical operations that govern the present constraints

An equation is a statement that two expressions are equal

Question 2:

The given expression is 2(3x - 2y) + 7

The parts are;

The coefficient of (3x - 2y) = 2

The constant term = 7

The variables are x and y

Which gives

The coefficient of the variable x = 6

The coefficient of the variable y = -4

The expression can be translated as two times the expression three (variable) x minus two (variable) y plus the constant 7

or

The expression can be translated as two times the bracket open three times (variable) x minus two times (variable) y bracket close plus the constant 7

or

The expression can be expanded as 2(3x - 2y) + 7 → 6·x - 4·y + 7 which is expressed verbally as follows;

Six times (variable) x minus four times (variable) y plus the constant 7

Question 3:

The expressions are;

10y + 3x + 10 + x  - 2y..........................(1)

3x - y + 4x + 6 - 2y,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,(2)

In the first expression, the like terms are;

10y and (-2y),

3x and x

In the second expression, the like terms are;

-y and -2y

3x and 4x

They are like terms because they can be simply added together to simplify the expressions as follows

10y + 3x + 10 + x  - 2y gives 10y - 2y + 3x + x  10  to give 8y + 4x + 10

Also

3x - y + 4x + 6 - 2y  gives  3x+ 4x - y  - 2y + 6 to give 7x - 3y + 6

Question 4:

The expression 8x² + 25·y when x = 3 and y = 2 is evaluated by replacing (putting) the value x and y (into the expression)

The expression is then evaluated as 8×3² + 25×2 which is the same as 72 + 50 or 122

Question 5:

To write the equivalent expression of the expression 3(4x + 2y) + 5x, we expand the expression as follows;

3×4x + 3×2y + 4x which is 12x + 6y + 4x

We combine like terms;

12x + 5x + 6y which is 17x + 6y

To prove we can check by substituting a value for each of the variables x and y such as x = 1 and y = 2

3(4×1 + 2×2) + 5×1 is 29

17×1 + 6×2 is 29
