Tomas learned that the product of the polynomials (a + b)(a2 – ab + b2) was a special pattern that would result in a sum of cube

s, a3 + b3. His teacher put four products on the board and asked the class to identify which product would result in a sum of cubes if a = 2x and b = 1.
Which product should Tomas choose?

A) (2x + 1)(2x2 + 2x – 1)
B) (2x + 1)(4x3 + 2x – 1)
C) (2x + 1)(4x2 – 2x + 1)
D) (2x + 1)(2x2 – 2x + 1)

General form: a^3 + b^3 = (a + b) (a^2 -ab +b^2)

Now replace with a= 2x, b = 1

(2x)^3 + 1^3 = (2x + 1) [ (2x)^2 -(2x)(1) + 1^2) = (2x + 1) (4x^2 - 2x + 1)

Therefore, the answer is the option C)

If f(x) = 3 – 2x and 1/x+5, what is the value of (f/g)(8)? –169 –1 13 104

Basile [38]

I'm assuming that this is the complete question.
If f(x) = 3 – 2x and g(x)=1/(x+5), what is the value of (f/g)(8)? a) –169 b) –1 c) 13 d) 104
x = 8
f(x) = 3 -2xf(8) = 3 - 2(8) = 3 - 16 = -13
g(x) = 1/(x+5)g(8) = 1/(8+5) = 1/13
(f/g)(8)f(8)/g(8) = -13/ (1/13) = -13 * 13 = -169 Choice A :)

Determine if this conjecture is true. If not, give a counterexample. The difference of two negative numbers is a negative number

A log splitter uses a pump with hydraulic oil to push a piston, attached to which is a chisel. The pump can generate a pressure

faust18 [17]

we are given

The pump can generate a pressure of 2.3x107 pa

so,

$p=2.3*10^7$

a radius of 0.041 m

so,

$r=0.041m$

a stroke lasting 29 s, the piston moves 0.57 m

so,

$h=0.57m$

$t=29s$

Firstly, we will find area

$A=\pi r^2$

$A=\pi (0.041)^2$

$A=0.00528$

now, we can use power formula

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

F=pA

W=Fh

so, W=pAh

we can plug it

$P=\frac{p*A*h}{t}$

now, we can plug values

$P=\frac{2.3*10^7*0.00528*0.57}{29}$

now, we can simplify it

Power=2386.92414 watt.........Answer

Josephine has a rectangular garden with an area of 2x2 + x – 6 square feet

AleksandrR [38]

we have

$2x^{2} +x-6$

we know that

The area of a rectangle is equal to

$A=L*W$

where

L is the length side of the rectangle

W is the width side of the rectangle

In this problem

Equate the area to zero and Find the roots of the quadratic equation

$2x^{2} +x-6=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$2x^{2} +x=6$

Factor the leading coefficient

$2(x^{2} +0.5x)=6$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$2(x^{2} +0.5x+0.25^{2})=6+0.125$

$2(x^{2} +0.5x+0.0625=6.125$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$2(x+0.25)^{2}=6.125$

$(x+0.25)^{2}=3.0625$

Square root both sides

$(x+0.25)=(+/-)\sqrt{3.0625}$

$(x+0.25)=(+/-)1.75$

$x1=-0.25+1.75=1.50$

$x2=-0.25-1.75=-2$

so

$2x^{2} +x-6=2(x+2)(x-1.50)$

$2(x+2)(x-1.50)=(x+2)(2x-3)$

$length=(2x-3)\ feet$

$width=(x+2)\ feet$

therefore

<u>the answer is the option</u>

$length=(2x-3)\ feet$ ; $width=(x+2)\ feet$
