Answer:

9x^2 - 24x + 16 is area in terms of x alternativly (3x-4)^2 is also true

Step-by-step explanation:

L * W = area length = width on a sqare so L * L = area too

(3x - 4) * (3x - 4)

use foil method

9x^2 - 24x + 16

Answer:

9x^2 − 24x + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a square, you use the formula

A = x^2

So we plug in 3x-4 for x

A = (3x-4)^2

A = 9x^2 − 24x + 16

If x = -4, calculate 2x squared - 5

Varvara68 [4.7K]

You just substitute the value of x in the given equation:

f(x) = 2x^2 - 5

f(-4) = 2 (-4)^2 -5 = 27

f(x) : a name given to the equation
f(-4): refer to the equation when the value of the independent variable x has the value between the brackets.

How do I solve this?

Ivenika [448]

$\overline{XS}\cong\overline{YT}\Rightarrow 3m+7=4.2m+5\ \ \ |-7\\\\3m=4.2m-2\ \ \ \ |-4.2m\\\\-1.2m=-2\ \ \ \ |:(-1.2)\\\\m=\dfrac{2}{1.2}\\\\m=\dfrac{20}{12}\\\\m=\dfrac{5}{3}\to m=1\dfrac{2}{3}$

$\overline{YS}\cong\overline{XT}\Rightarrow3\dfrac{1}{2}r+2=2r+5\ \ \ \ |-2\\\\3\dfrac{1}{2}r=2r+3\ \ \ \ |-2r\\\\1\dfrac{1}{2}r=3\ \ \ |\cdot2\\\\3r=6\ \ \ \ |:3\\\\r=2$

Express p in terms of q if

Irina-Kira [14]

$p=x^2+\dfrac{1}{x^2}\\\\p=\dfrac{x^4}{x^2}+\dfrac{1}{x^2}\\\\p=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}\qquad(*)$

$q=x+\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\q=\dfrac{x^2}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\q=\dfrac{x^2+1}{x}\qquad\text{square both sides}\\\\q^2=\left(\dfrac{x^2+1}{x}\right)^2\\\\q^2=\dfrac{(x^2+1)^2}{x^2}\qquad\text{use}\ \ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\\\q^2=\dfrac{(x^2)^2+2(x^2)(1)+1^2}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+2x^2+1}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}+\dfrac{2x^2}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}+2\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\q^2-2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}\\\\\text{From (*) we have}\\\\\boxed{p=q^2-2}$
