Mariah thinks that the following equation is always true (that it's an identity). Is it always true? Find evidence
for or against the following equivalency rule by substituting various values in for a and b.
(a+b)² = a² + b²

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  It is not always true, so it's not an identity

========================================================

Explanation:

Let's try replacing each 'a' with 1, and each b with 2. Feel free to pick two of your favorite nonzero numbers.

So we'll plug in a = 1 and b = 2

[tex](a+b)^2 = a^2+b^2\\\\(1+2)^2 = 1^2+2^2\\\\(3)^2 = 1^2+2^2\\\\9 = 1+4\\\\9 = 5\\\\[/tex]

The last equation is a false statement. This means the first equation is also false for a = 1 and b = 2.

This is one counter-example to disprove that (a+b)² = a² + b² is true in general.

Therefore, the equation is not an identity.

--------------

What is an identity however is this

(a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

If you were to plug in a = 1 and b = 2, then you'd get 9 on each side. This is one example to help partially confirm it's an identity.

More rigorous proof is in the form of using the FOIL method, the distributive property, or the box method.

Find the tenth term of each arithmetic sequence. 2,8,14,20, ...........

Answers

The 10th term of the given arithmetic sequence 2,8,14,20, ........... is ( a₁₀ = 56.)

Describe the AP arithmetic progression series?

The difference between two mathematical orders is a fixed value in Arithmetic Progression (AP). Arithmetic Sequence is another term for it.

We'd come across a few key words in AP which have been classified as:

The first term (a)Common difference (d)Term nth (an)The total of first n terms (Sn)

The AP can also be viewed in terms of common differences, as illustrated below.

The following is the process for evaluating an AP's n-th term: an = a + (n − 1) × dThe so these is the arithmetic progression sum: Sn = n/2[2a + (n − 1) × d].Common difference 'd' of an AP: d = a2 - a1 = a3 - a2 = a4 - a3 = ......      = an - an-1.

Now, the sequence given in the question is;  2,8,14,20, ...........

Define the first term as 'a₁' = 2.

Define 'a₂' = 8 is the second term.

Define the third term as 'a₃' = 14.

Evaluate the common difference;

d = a₂ - a₁  

Put the values in the obtained equation;

d = 8 - 2 = 6

Now, to evaluate the value of the 10th term imply the formula of nth term.

an = a + (n − 1) × d , n = total number of terms = 10.

Substitute all the values;

a₁₀ = 2 + (10 - 1) × 6

a₁₀ = 2 + 9 × 6

a₁₀ = 2 + 54

a₁₀ = 56.

Therefore, the value of the 10th term is found as a₁₀ = 56.

If P(-3, 6) is tranlated 4 units up and 8 units down what are the coordinates of P?????

Answers

The coordinates of P' is (-3,2).

Given that P(-3, 6) is translated 4 units up and 8 units down.

The translation of a point involves moving it a certain distance horizontally and/or vertically. You can find the address of a translated point like this:

To translate a point to the right, add the translation to the x-value.To translate a point to the left, subtract the translation from the x value.To translate a point up, add the translation to the y-value.To translate a point down, subtract the translation from the y-value.

The point P(-3,6) is shown in blue above.

Travel 4 unit to the up and 8 units down from point P, and you arrive at point P'(-3,2), shown in red.

Hence, the coordinates of P' when P(-3, 6) is translated 4 units up and 8 units down is P'(-3,2).

Rewrite x4y2-6x3y3 using a common factor

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x^4y^2-6x^3y^3 = x^3y^2(x - 6y)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

to pick out common factors, you have to find the highest common denominator. We start by listing units and variables:

we can divide the x^4y^2 by up to x^4 and up to y^2, cannot divide by non-variable numbers

we can divide 6x^3y^3 by up to x^3 and up to y^3, and by 6 if we needed to.

This means that for units, we're not dividing (because we can't simplify x^4y^2 dividing by a bare number.

For x, we can divide both by x^3, because we can divide both by x^3, but cannot divide 6x^3y^3 by x^4 or more.

For y, we can divide both by y^2, because we can divide both by y^2, but cannot divide x^4y^2 by x^3 or more.

We take the x^3y^2 and bring it in front of the brackets.

t is a positive whole number.
The expression 2f² + 5t + 2 can never have a value that is a prime number.
Can someone PLEASE explain why.

Answers

Since the given expression can be factored in the form (2t+1) and (t+2) so 2t² + 5t + 2 cannot be a prime number.

A whole number greater than 1 that has no factor other than 1 and the number itself is called a prime number.

Some examples of prime numbers are 3,11,19 ... all these numbers can only be divided by 1 or the number itself so they are called prime.

In the given expression 2t² + 5t + 2 , it is said that t is positive whole number. So if t is a positive whole number then the expression can be written as another positive whole number.

Now the expression 2t² + 5t + 2  can be factored into two smaller factors.

2t² + 5t + 2

= 2t² + 4t + t + 2

= 2t (t + 2 )+1 (t+2)

= (t+2) (2t+1)

If t is a positive whole number then t+2 is a whole number and 2t+1 is another positive whole number.

Hence these two numbers are factors of 2t² + 5t + 2 . But a prime number does not have any factors.

So 2t² + 5t + 2  is not a prime number.

then find the measure of ZB.

Answers

Answer:

∠ B = 166°

Step-by-step explanation:

since ∠ A and ∠ B are vertical angles then they are congruent, that is

∠ A = ∠ B

6x - 26 = 5x + 6 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

x - 26 = 6 ( add 26 to both sides )

x = 32

Then

∠ B = 5x + 6 = 5(32) + 6 = 160 + 6 = 166°

The correct answer to this problem is an option (H) 2/3.

A sequence is a sequence of things (usually numbers) in order 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and so on. A geometric sequence is known as a particular type of sequence ]. A sequence multiplies each term (except the first) by a constant to get the next term in the sequence. So, from the information, we can conclude that to get the next term in the geometric sequence, we need to multiply that with a specific term (known as the common ratio), and to find the last term in the sequence, we multiply that term by the same standard ratio. Just split it.

Answers

5x+3y=15 is the equation for the standard form of the line .

What is in slope-intercept form?

Given the slope of the line and the intercept it forms with the y-axis, one of the mathematical forms used to derive the equation of a straight line is called the slope intercept form. Y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the straight line and b is the y-intercept, is the slope intercept form.

We are given two coordinates (3,0) (0,5)

Start by finding slope

y2-y1/x2-x1=  5-0/0-3= -5/3 this is your slope m.

y=mx+c

y= -5/3x+c (but remember standard line is ax+by=c) so we have to switch sides

What is Circumscribed:

Circumscribed meaning is, a shape is restricted within any other shape. There is no circumvent for the inside figure to pass the outer figure. When we draw a figure around another figure, in such a way, that the outer figure which is surrounding the inside figure touches all its vertices, but doesn’t cross it. The outer figure touches the maximum points of the inside figure without crossing it. These geometrical shapes could be a circle, a square, a triangle, a rectangle or a quadrilateral.

if rectangle a is a 2 by 4 would a 4 by 8 be a scale factor

Answers

The required scale factor for the small rectangle is 8.

Given that,
Rectangle a is a 2 by 4 would a be 4 by 8,
To determine the scale factor,

What is the scale factor?

The scale factor is defined as the ratio of modified change in dimensions to original dimensions


Area of the rectangle = product of dimensions = length * width
Area of the former rectangle = 2 * 4

                                                = 8
Area of the later rectangle = 4 * 8 = 32
                                           
Scale factor = area of the later rectangle/area of the former rectangle
                    = 32 / 8
                    = 8


Thus, the required scale factor for the small rectangle is 8.

What does the 0.004 mean in this situation?

We know that the height, in inches, of s sheets of paper can be described by the equation:

h = 0.004*s

So, if we have a single sheet, the height is:

h = 0.004*1 = 0.004

The height of a single sheet if 0.004 inches.

If instead we have two, then s = 2, we will have:

h = 0.004*2 = 0.008

The height is 0.008 inches.

So, the given equation:
