28/1/4 equals what beats per minute

How would the expression x^2-4 be rewritten using Difference of Squares?

Anna [14]

a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b) or (a – b)(a + b).
This is the 'Difference of Squares' formula we can use to factor the expression.

In order to use the 'Difference of Squares' formula to factor a binomial, the binomial must contain two perfect squares that are separated by a subtraction symbol.

x^2 - 4 fits this, because x^2 and 4 are both perfect squares, and they are separated by a subtraction symbol.
All you do here to factor, is take the square root of each term.

√x^2 = x
√4 = 2

Now that we have our square roots, x and 2, we substitute these numbers into the form (a + b)(a - b).

(a + b)(a - b)
(x + 2)(x - 2)

Our answer is final (x + 2)(x - 2), which can also be written as (x - 2)(x + 2), it doesn't make a difference which order you put it in.

Anyway, Hope this helps!!
Let me know if you need help understanding anything and I'll try to explain as best I can.

A company manufactures two different sizes of boat lifts. The smaller lift requires 1 hour in the welding department and 2 hours

qaws [65]

Answer:

The solution that optimizes the profit is producing 0 small lifts and 50 large lifts.

Below are all the steps explained in detail.

The graph is attached.

Explanation:

1. Name the variables:

x: number of smaller lifts
y: number of larger lifts

2. Build a table to determine the number of hours each lift requires from each department:

Number of hours

small lift large lift total per department

Welding department 1x 3y x + 3y

Packaging department 2x 1y 2x + y

3. Constraints

150 hours available in welding: x + 3y ≤ 150
120 hours available in packaging: 2x + y ≤ 120
The variables cannot be negative: x ≥ 0, and y ≥ 0

Then you must:

draw the lines and regions defined by each constraint
determine the region of solution that satisfies all the constraints
determine the vertices of the solution region
test the profit function for each of the vertices. The vertex that gives the greatest profit is the solution (the number of each tupe that should be produced to maximize profits)

4. Graph

See the graph attached.

Here is how you draw it.

x + 3y ≤ 150
draw the line x + 3y = 150 (a solid line because it is included in the solution set)
shade the region below and to the left of the line

2x + y ≤ 120
draw the line 2x + y ≤ 120 (a solid line because it is included in the solution set)
shade the region below and to the left of the line

x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0: means that only the first quadrant is considered

the solution region is the intersection of the regions described above.

take the points that are vertices inside the solutoin region.

5. Test the profit function for each vertex

The profit function is P(x,y) = 25x + 90y

The vertices shown in the graph are:

(0,0)
(0,50)
(42,36)
(60,0)

The profits with the vertices are:

P(0,0) = 0
P(0,50) = 25(0) + 90(50) = 4,500
P(42,36) = 25(42) + 90(36) = 4,290
P(60,0) = 25(60) + 90(0) = 1,500

Thus, the solution that optimizes the profit is producing 0 smaller lifts and 90 larger lifts.

Carson is draining his swimming pool so he can clean it. The water level started at 12 feet and decreased 6 inches every hour. W

ra1l [238]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(c) y=-1/2x+12

Step-by-step explanation:

The units of the problem need to be consistent. Here, it is convenient to use feet. 6 inches is 1/2 foot, so the level will decrease 1/2 ft for each hour. It starts at +12 ft, and goes down from there:

y = -1/2x +12
