Simplify: (4x)2(-2y3) -8x2y3 None of the above -32x2y3 -8xy6 2. Simplify: (3x+2y)(3x-2y)= 9x2+12xy+4y2 None of the above 9x2+4y2 9x2-4y2
\((4x)^2(-2y^3) \) What does squaring a quantity mean?
1=none of the above what is 2
1 is incorrect
then what would it be
Would you like to answer my question above? We'll go over the problem step by step.
The left side of the first problem is squaring the quantity 4x. What does squaring a quantity mean?
Here's a simpler question. What do you do to calculate \(5^2\) ?
25
You gave me the answer, and the answer is correct, but I asked what do you do to find the answer? You multiply 5 by 5, right?
ya man
In your first problem, you need to square 4x. What do you do to square 4x? You must multiply 4x by 4x. What is 4x * 4x?
16
The 4 times the 4 equals 16. That's good, but you also have x times x. \((4x)^2 = 4x \times 4x = 16x^2 \)
The entire problem is: \((4x)^2(-2y3) \) \(= 16x^2(-2y^3) \) \(=-32x^2y^3\) Notice that one of the choices above is the answer.
how bout this problem Simplify: 9x^3+6x^2+3x/3x None of the above 3x2+2x+1 3x2-2xy-2 3x4+6x3+x2
Wait, didn't you want to do the second problem above also?
2. Simplify: (3x+2y)(3x-2y)= 9x2+12xy+4y2 None of the above 9x2+4y2 9x2-4y2
This is a famous multiplication in math. When you multiply a sum and a difference of the sdame two quantities. The general pattern is: \( (a + b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2\) Notice that the two things you are adding, a and b, you are also subtracting, a - b. You are multiplying a sum and a subtraction (difference) off the same two things. All you need to do is square both of the things and subtract them. a^2 - b^2.
Look at your problem: (3x+2y)(3x-2y)= You are adding 3x and 2y, and you are subtracting 3x - 2y. To multiply them together, square the two things, (3x)^2 and (2y)^2 and subtract them. \( (3x + 2y)(3x - 2y) = \) \(= (3x)^2 - (2y)^2 \) \(= 9x^2 - 4y^2 \) This is one of your choices up there.
Simplify: \( \dfrac{9x^3+6x^2+3x}{3x} \) Divide every term in the numerator by the denominator. \( \dfrac{9x^3+6x^2+3x}{3x} \) \( = \dfrac{9x^3}{3x} + \dfrac{6x^2}{3x} + \dfrac{3x}{3x} \) \(= 3x^2 + 2x + 1\)
Simplify: (7x-2)+(2x+17)= 9x+19 9x2+19 9x+15 9x2+15
