The expression (-4x + 9)^2 cannot be equal to (-4x)^2 + 9^2 because it is actually equal to the product of two factors (3 + 2sqrt x) (3- 2 sqrt x). One cannot use obviously distributive property. Hence the answer to this problem should be C. as she did not understand both perfect square trinomial and did not determine the product
the first two professors did not know if everyone wanted coffee because the third professor had to choose yes or no if he wanted coffee. the first two professors were waiting for the third to say something, and when he said no, they knew he did not want coffee. if one of the first two professors said no, the answer would be no.
Answer:
C. 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph descends from the left so the coefficient of the leading term is negative. It is also a cubic equation with zeros of -20, about 6.5 and about 13. so we can write the equation as below. The last 2 values can only be guessed because the x axis only shows values which are multiples of 5.
f(x) = a(x + 20)(x - 6.5)(x - 13) where a is a negative constant.
(This is only an approximation).
By the Remainder theorem, when the expression is divided by (x + 10):
f(-10) = -20 so we have
-20 = a (-10 + 20)(-10-6.5)(-10 - 13)
(10)(-16.5)(-23)a = -20
a = -20 / (10)(-16.5)(-23)
a = -0.0053
When the equation is divided by (x - 10) then f(10) is the remainder so substituting we have as the remainder:
-0.0053(10+20)(10-6.5)(10 -13)
-0.0053 * 30 * 3.5 * -3
= 1.7 approximately.
Looks like the answer is 2.
