Answer:

3. x=7

4. f(4)= -24

Step-by-step explanation:

2. Since the bases are equal, equate the powers;

2x+3=17

2x=14

x= 14/2

x=7

3. Putting x as 4 in the function

=3(4²) - 4[3(4) + 6]

=3(16) - 4(12+6)

=3(16) - 4(18)

=48 - 72

f(4) = -24

Why is it important to know how to estimate quotients?

Zigmanuir [339]

In the real world you are not going to have a calculator on you 24/7. Nor will you have a pencil or paper to do longhand. You need to know how to accurately estimate your answers in order to be successful.

Which polynomial can be simplified to a difference of squares

Mrrafil [7]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The polynomial that can be simplified to a difference of squares is the second polynomial:

$16a^{2}-4a+4a-1=16a^{2}=(4a)^{2}-(1)^{2}=(4-1)(4+1)$

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve this problem, we need to look for which of the given quadratic terms given for the different polynomials can be a result of squaring (elevating by two).

So,

Discarding, we have:

The quadratic terms of the given polynomials are:

$First=10a^{2}$

$Second=16a^{2}$

$Third=25a^{2}$

$Fourth=24a^{2}$

We have that the coefficients of the quadratic terms that can be obtained by squaring are:

$16a^{2} =(4a)^{2} \\\\25a^{2} =(5a)^{2}$

The other two coefficients are not perfect squares since they can not be obtained by square rooting whole numbers.

So, the first and the fourth polynomial are discarded and cannot be simplified to a difference of squares at least using whole numbers.

Therefore, we need to work with the second and the third polynomial.

For the second polynomial, we have:

$16a^{2} -4a+4a-1=16a^{2}=(4a)^{2}-(1)^{2} =(4-1)(4+1)$

So, the second polynomial can be simplified to a difference of squares.

For the third polynomial, we have:

$25a^{2} +6a-6a+36=16a^{2}+36=(5a)^{2}+(6)^{2}$

So, the third polynomial cannot be simplified to a difference of squares since it's a sum of squares.

Hence, the polynomial that can be simplified to a difference of squares is the second polynomial:

$16a^{2}-4a+4a-1=16a^{2}=(4a)^{2}-(1)^{2}$

Select the statement that describes this expression: 1/2 x (734 − 246).

Furkat [3]

Answer:

The value of given expression is 244.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is $\dfrac{1}{2}\times (734 - 246)$ .

We need to simply the above expression.

First of all, we will subtract 246 from 734. By doing so, we get 488.

Now, we can divide 488 by 2.

As a result we get 244.

So, the value of given expression is 244.
