Find unit rate of pages read per minute:
(5/8)/(2/3)
(5/8)*(3/2)
(5*3)/(8*2)
(15)/(16)
15/16
Kenny reads 15/16 pages every minute (unit rate)
We're given the algebraic expression 2x^2 - 2z^4 + y^2 - x^2 + z^4
By hypothesis, x = -4, y = 3 and z = 2
Let's replace each letter by its given value:
2x^2 - 2z^4 + y^2 - x^2 + z^4
2(-4)^2 - 2(2)^4 + (3)^2 - (-4)^2 + (2)^4
(2*16) - 2*16 + 9 - 16 + 16
32 - 32 + 9 - 16 + 16
9
So wrong. The correct answer is not -3, but 9.
Hope this helps! :D
Answer: It is (x - 3)(x + 5)
