Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
Factoring <span> b2-4b+4</span>
The first term is, <span> <span>b2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -4b </span> its coefficient is <span> -4 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> +4 </span>
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> 1 • 4 = 4</span>
Step-2 : Find two factors of 4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is <span> -4 </span>.
<span><span> </span></span>
<span><span>-4 + -1 = -5</span><span> -2 + -2 = -4 That's it</span></span>
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -2 and -2
<span>b2 - 2b</span> - 2b - 4
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
b • (b-2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (b-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(b-2) • (b-2)
Which is the desired factorization
9. 1/3+(x+20)+(x-10)+40=360 10. 1/2x+1/2x+(x-15)+(x-25)+100=540
1/3+2x+50=360 4x+60=540
(3/1) 1/3+2x=300(3/1) 4x/4=480/4
2x=300 X=120

W=150
For this case what we must do is a composition of functions which will be given by:
m (x) = 4x - 11
n (x) = x - 10
We have then:
m [n (x)] = 4 (x - 10) - 11
Rewriting the function:
m [n (x)] = 4x - 40 - 11
m [n (x)] = 4x - 51
Answer:
a. m [n (x)] = 4x - 51
Answer:
i think the answer is c
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
You have: 14 / (7/8)
To divide by fractions, all you have to do is take the reciprocal of the second number, aka flip it
so, if you do that, you get 14 * 8/7
14*8=112, and 112/7 is 16
