Simplify (y + 8)(y + 3)
To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:
(y + 8)(y + 3)
(y x y) + (y x 3) + (8 x y) + (8 x 3)
y2 + 3y + 8y + 24
y2 + 11y + 24
A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.
rhombus
A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.
If \( \left|x + 9\right| \) - 3 = 7, which of these is a possible value for x?
First, solve for \( \left|x + 9\right| \):
\( \left|x + 9\right| \) - 3 = 7
\( \left|x + 9\right| \) = 7 + 3
\( \left|x + 9\right| \) = 10
The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (x + 9) must equal + 10 or -10 for \( \left|x + 9\right| \) to equal 10:
| x + 9 = 10 x = 10 - 9 x = 1 | x + 9 = -10 x = -10 - 9 x = -19 |
So, x = -19 or x = 1.
The gear ratio (Vr) of a gear train is the product of the gear ratios between the pairs of meshed gears. Let N represent the number of teeth for each gear:
Vr = \( \frac{N_1}{N_2} \) \( \frac{N_2}{N_3} \) \( \frac{N_3}{N_4} \) ... \( \frac{N_n}{N_{n+1}} \)
In this problem, we have only two gears so the equation becomes:Vr = \( \frac{N_1}{N_2} \) = \( \frac{32}{4} \) = 8
A joint created by welding is __________ the original metal.
as strong or stronger than
The joint created by welding is as strong or stronger than the original metal.
Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?
gas
Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.
Which of the following is the formula for work?
\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meter (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
