Answer:
x² - 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the FOIL method here where
F = first
O = outer
I = inner
L = last
F = x * x = x²
O = -4 * x = -4x
I = 4 * x = 4x
L = -4 * 4 = -16
Combine the terms to get x² - 16.
(5/3)= 1.667
1.667*1.667= 2.778
Answer:
Distribute or Die part 2: Attack of the PEMDAS!
Compute successive differences of the terms.
If they are all the same, the sequence is arithmetic and the common difference is the difference you have found.
If successive pairs of differences have the same ratio, the sequence is geometric and the common ratio is the ratio you have determined.
Example of arithmetic sequence:
1, 3, 5, 7
Successive differences are 3-1 = 2, 5-3 = 2, 7-5 = 2. All the differences are 2, which is the common difference of the sequence.
Example of geometric sequence:
1, -3, 9, -27
Successive differences are -3-1 = -4, 9-(-3) = 12, -27-9 = -36. These are not the same, so the sequence is not arithmetic. Ratios of successive pairs of differences are 12/-4 = -3, -36/12 = -3. These are the same, so the sequence is geometric with common ratio -3.
The answer is 40°
i will tell you how,
Total angle sum of any triangle is 180°
∠A + ∠B + ∠E = 180°
70° + 80° + ∠E = 180°
solve for ∠E
∠E = 30°
Now solve use ∠BDE,
∠B + ∠D + ∠E = 180°
20° + 90° + 30° + x = 180° (in triangle DEB, ∠E = 30 + x ) (∠D is 90°)
solve for x
there fore, x = 40°
