Answer:

Explanation:

in each of the following substitute x with the variables in the bracket.

f(a) = 5x - 6

= 5a - 6

f(a+h) = 5 (a + h) - 6

= 5a + 5h - 6

f(a+h) - f(a) = (5a + 5h - 6) - (5a - 6)

= 5a + 5h - 6 - 5a + 6

= 5h

(as the 5a's and 6's cancel each other out.)

f(a+h) - f(a)/h = 5a + 5h - 6 - ((5a - 6)÷h)

take l.c.m

= <u>(5ah + 5h^2 - 6h - 5a + 6)</u>

Which is equivalent?

Arlecino [84]

Steps to simplify:

(2x + 3)(x - 7)

~Use FOIL to multiply

(2x * x) + (2 * -7) + (3 * x) + (3 * -7)

~Simplify

=2x² - 14x + 3x - 21

~Combine Like Terms

2x² + (-14x + 3x) - 21

~Simplify

2x² - 11x - 21 (Option 2)

Best of Luck!

What is the complete factorization of r2 - 6r - 9s2 + 9? A) (r - 3 + 3s)(r - 3 - 3s) B) (r + 3 + 3s)(r - 3 - 3s) C) (r - 3 + 3s)

nikitadnepr [17]

$r^2-6r-9s^2+9=r^2-6r+9-9s^2=r^2-2\cdot r\cdot3+3^2-9s^2\\\\\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\=(r-3)^2-9s^2=(r-3)^2-(3s)^2\\\\\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\=(r-3-3s)(r-3+3s)\to A$

Answer:

Read the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

When multiplying and dividing more than two positive and negative numbers, use the Even-Odd Rule: Count the number of negative signs — if you have an even number of negatives, the result is positive, but if you have an odd number of negatives, the result is negative. This problem has just one negative sign
