Answer:

9x² - 12x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x - 2)² = (3x - 2)(3x - 2)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor , that is

3x(3x - 2) - 2(3x - 2) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 9x² - 6x - 6x + 4 ← collect like terms

= 9x² - 12x + 4

Simplify this expression. If it is already simplified, then write it as it is.<br> 4t^2 + 10t

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Already simplified.

Step-by-step explanation:

The only way to simplify an expression is to combine like terms. Like terms is where the variables are exactly the same. t^2 is not the same as t. Thus, cannot combine them, so the expression is already simplified,

Is 1.03 the same as 1.30?

Fantom [35]

No, 1.03 is a smaller value thatn1.30
look at the digits behind the decimals.
03 and 30. which one's bigger? 30
so 1.30 is greater than 1.03

Given f(x)=2x^2+3x-5 for what values of x is f(x) positive

kow [346]

Answer:

The function f(x) is positive in the interval (-≠,-2.5) ∪ (1,∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$f(x)=2x^{2}+3x-5$

This is a vertical parabola open upward (the leading coefficient is positive)

The vertex is a minimum

The coordinates of the vertex is the point (h,k)

step 1

Find the vertex of the quadratic function

Factor the leading coefficient 2

$f(x)=2(x^{2}+\frac{3}{2}x)-5$

Complete the square

$f(x)=2(x^{2}+\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{9}{16})-5-\frac{9}{8}$

$f(x)=2(x^{2}+\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{9}{16})-\frac{49}{8}$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$f(x)=2(x+\frac{3}{4})^{2}-\frac{49}{8}$

The vertex is the point (-\frac{3}{4},-\frac{49}{8})

step 2

Find the x-intercepts (values of x when the value of f(x) is equal to zero)

For f(x)=0

$2(x+\frac{3}{4})^{2}-\frac{49}{8}=0$

$2(x+\frac{3}{4})^{2}=\frac{49}{8}$

$(x+\frac{3}{4})^{2}=\frac{49}{16}$

take the square root both sides

$x+\frac{3}{4}=\pm\frac{7}{4}$

$x=-\frac{3}{4}\pm\frac{7}{4}$

$x_1=-\frac{3}{4}+\frac{7}{4}=1$

$x_2=-\frac{3}{4}-\frac{7}{4}=-2.5$

therefore

The function f(x) is negative in the interval (-2.5,1)

The function f(x) is positive in the interval (-≠,-2.5) ∪ (1,∞)

see the attached figure to better understand the problem
