Given:
Mr. Donovan
2/7 = savings
5/7 = $1,335

Mrs. Spencer
3/8 = savings

Both saved the same amount of money. How much is Mrs. Spencer's paycheck?

Mr. Donovan's paycheck.
1,335 ÷ 5/7 = 1,335 * 7/5 = 9345/5 = 1869

Mr.Donovan's savings
1869 * 2/7 = (1869*2)/7 = 3738/7 = 534

Mr. Donovan's savings = Mrs. Spencer's savings

Mrs. Spencer's pay check
534 ÷ 3/8 = 534 * 8/3 = 4272/3 = 1424

Mrs. Spencer's paycheck is $1,424

Factor completely 16x8 − 1.

marta [7]

<u>Given</u>:

The given expression is $16 x^{8}-1$

We need to determine the factor of the given expression.

<u>Factor</u>:

Let us rewrite the given expression.

Thus, we have;

$\left(4 x^{4}\right)^{2}-1^{2}$

Since, the above expression is of the form $a^2-b^2$ , let us apply the identity $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$

Thus, we have;

$\left(4 x^{4}+1\right)\left(4 x^{4}-1\right)$ ------ (1)

Now, we shall factor the term $4x^4-1$

$4x^4-1=(2x^2)^2-1^2$

$=(2x^2+1)(2x^2-1)$

Substituting the above expression in equation (1), we have;

$\left(4 x^{4}+1\right)\left(2 x^{2}+1\right)(2x^2-1)$

Therefore, the factor of the given expression is $\left(4 x^{4}+1\right)\left(2 x^{2}+1\right)(2x^2-1)$

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

It takes 12 minutes to fill an entire bathtub using both the cold and hot water. If just the cold water is used, it takes 18 min

Kipish [7]

Answer:

<h2>It takes 36 minutes to fill the bathtub using just hot water.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are gonna name V the complete volume of the bathtub, which is filled a certain amount of minutes. Each filling rate or speed is gonna be expressed as: $\frac{V}{t}$ .

So, if we apply this consideration to each case we have:

Using cold and hot water: $\frac{V}{12}$

Using only cold water: $\frac{V}{18}$

Using only hot water: $\frac{V}{x}$ ; because we don't knot the time it takes to fill the bathtub with hot water.

Now, as you can see, Cold and Hot water is a sum of cold water only and hot water only:

$\frac{V}{12}=\frac{V}{18}+\frac{V}{x}$

Solving the equation for <em>x: </em>

$\frac{V}{12}=\frac{xV+18V}{18x} \\\frac{V}{12}=\frac{(x+18)V}{18x}\\\\\frac{18xV}{V}=12(x+18)\\18x=12x+216\\18x-12x=216\\6x=216\\x=\frac{216}{6}=36$

Therefore, it takes 36 minutes to fill the bathtub using just hot water.

For the binomial expansion of (x + y)^10, the value of k in the term 210x 6y k is a) 6 b) 4 c) 5 d) 7

Sloan [31]

Answer:

a) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Expanding the polynomial using the formula:

$(x+y)^n=\sum_{k=0}^n \binom{n}{k} x^{n-k} y^k$

Also

$\binom{n}{k}=\frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!}$

I think you mean $210x^6y^4$

We can deduce that this term will be located somewhere in the middle. So I will calculate $k= 5; k=6 \text{ and } k =7$ .

For $k=5$

$\binom{10}{5} (y)^{10-5} (x)^{5}=\frac{10!}{(10-5)! 5!}(y)^{5} (x)^{5}= \frac{10 \cdot 9 \cdot 8 \cdot 7 \cdot 6 \cdot 5! }{5! \cdot 5 \cdot 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 2 \cdot 1 } \\ =\frac{30240}{120} =252 x^{5} y^{5}$

Note that we actually don't need to do all this process. There's no necessity to calculate the binomial, just $x^{n-k} y^k$

For $k=6$

$\binom{10}{6} \left(y\right)^{10-6} \left(x\right)^{6}=\frac{10!}{(10-6)! 6!}\left(y\right)^{4} \left(x\right)^{6}=210 x^{6} y^{4}$

What additional information would prove that LMNP is a rectangle? The length of LM is and the length of MN is . The slope of LP

kumpel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is diagonals are equal and bisect each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with opposites sides equal in length and all interior angles equal to 90°. Opposite sides are parallel and adjacent sides are perpendicular. Diagonals in a rectangle are equal in length and they bisect each other. If we want to draw a circumcircle, then the point of intersection of these diagonals give the circumcenter.
