Answer: It is a difference of two squares, and it factors to (3x-7)(3x+7)
=============================================================
Explanation:
We can write the 9x^2 as (3x)^2 since
(3x)^2 = (3x)*(3x) = (3*3)*(x*x) = 9x^2
The 49 can be written as 7^2 because 7^2 = 7*7 = 49.
This means 9x^2 - 49 is the same as (3x)^2 - 7^2. We have a difference of two squares.
The difference of squares factoring rule is
a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
which we have a = 3x and b = 7 in this case
So,
a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
(3x)^2 - 7^2 = (3x-7)(3x+7)
9x^2 - 49 = (3x-7)(3x+7)
Side note: This is the same as (3x+7)(3x-7). We can multiply two numbers in any order.
Answer:
89 2 irrational roots
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminant Is b²-4ac when the equation is in the form
ax²+bx+c so in the equation
a=2 b=5 and c=-8
plug into the equation for the discriminant
so 5²-4(2)(-8)
25-(-64) 2 negatives make a positive so
25+64=89
since 89 isn’t a perfect square 2 irrational roots
Answer:
126
Step-by-step explanation:
180-54=126
Diameter is the distance from edge to edge of a circle through the center point. Radius is half the diameter.
