Answer:
[tex]4-9x^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
in the first parenthesis, multiply the FIRST number (2 - 3x) by the numbers in the OTHER parenthesis. (2 + 3x)
[tex](2-3x)(2+3x)[/tex]
it would look like:
[tex]2(2) = 4\\2(3x) = 6x[/tex]
Next, multiply the SECOND number (2 - 3x) by the numbers in the OTHER parenthesis. (2 + 3x)
[tex]-3x(2) = -6x\\-3x(3x) = 9x^2[/tex]
Now, add like terms. Your answer should either be:
[tex]4+6x-6x+9^2[/tex] OR [tex]4 -9x^2[/tex]

A bicycle wheel is 63 centimeters from top to bottom . When the wheel goes all the way around one time , the bicycle travels 198 centimeters . How can this information be used to estimate the value of pi
Given :
A bicycle wheel is 63 centimeters from top to bottom .
So, the diameter of the wheel = 63 cm
When the wheel goes all the way around one time , the bicycle travels 198 centimeters .
So, the circumference of the circle = 198 cm
The circumference of the circle of diameter = d will be :
[tex]\pi\cdot d[/tex]So,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \pi\cdot63=198 \\ \\ \pi=\frac{198}{63}=\frac{22}{7} \end{gathered}[/tex]Solve the problems. Simon is organizing his 36 toy cars into equal-sized piles.

In order to determine which data sets should be displayed on a stem display, you consider that the stem display is usefull in the cases in which you have data which can be grouped easily. For instance, for data set in which there are differents number with the same first digit(s).
According with the previous definition you can notice that the options E) and A) are the best options, because there are different number that can be grouped, for example, according to the first number.
For other options you have other situations, for option D) there is no way to group the data. For option C) there is only one number on each data, so, there wouldn't be leafs in the diagram, and the same applies to option B), the first number is the same in all data, then, there is no way to group.
I’m a parent and I’m not sure I’m understanding this question the practice test question says “How would you take apart 14 to solve 28 - 14? The choices are 7 and 710 and 4 12 and 220 and 8. I said 7 and 7
There are several ways of taking apart the number 14:
1 and 13
2 and 12
3 and 11
4 and 10
5 and 9
6 and 8
7 and 7
Nevertheless, as we can see by the note below that exercise,
"Have your child take apart 16 to make a ten to find 87 - 16",
we can conclude that the exercise is asking how to take apart 14 to make a ten. By doing so, the subtraction operation (28 - 14) gets simpler since you could subtract 4, and then subtract the ten:
14 = 10 + 4 (1 ten and 4 units)
So, when we do 28 - 14, we can do that in two steps:
• 28 - 4 = ,24
,• 24, - 10 = 14
Therefore, based on the note below exercise 6, the expected answer is

The same set of data has been fit using two different functions. The following images show the residual plots of each function.
We have the residuals of each function graphed.
They represent the distance, taking into account the sign, of each data point to the line of best fit.
A good fit will have residuals that are close to the x-axis. Also, the distribution for the residuals should not have too much spread, meaning that all the points should have approximately the same residual in ideal conditions.
In this case, we see that Function A has most residuals around the horizontal axis. Except for one of the points, that may be considered an outliert.
In the case of Function B there is a clear pattern (a quadratic relation between x and the residual) that shows that the degree of the best fit function is not the adequate (maybe two degrees lower than what should be).
This results in residuals that have a wide spread depending on the value of x.
Then, we can conclude that Function A has a better fit because the points are clustered around the x-axis.
Answer: Function A has a better fit because the points are clustered around the x-axis [Third option]

If a cell disruptor is purchased with a frequency of 60Hz, what is the wavelength traveling through human tissue? (1540 m/s).
The wavelength traveling through human tissue when the velocity is 1540 m/s and frequency is 60Hz will be 25.67 m.
According to the question,
We have the following information:
Frequency of a cell disruptor = 60 Hz
Velocity of the cell disruptor = 1540 m/s
We know that the following formula is used to find the wavelength:
Wavelength = Velocity/frequency
Wavelength = 1540/60 m
(Note that when velocity is given m/s and frequency is given in Hz then the unit of wavelength is m. Every physical quantity has to be expressed with its units.)
Wavelength = 25.67 m
Hence, the wavelength traveling through human tissue is 25.67 m.

The probabilis
(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
Using the combination formula, the probability that of the 4 new cereals that will be produced, 2 are oat cereals, 1 is a wheat cereal, and 1 is a rice cereal is of 4/33.
Combination Formula[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula, involving factorials.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
This formula is used when the order in which the objects are chosen is not important, as is the case in this problem.
A probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
For the total outcomes, 4 cereals are taken from a set of 12, hence:
[tex]T = C_{12,4} = \frac{12!}{4!8!} = 495[/tex]
For the desired outcomes, we have that:
2 oat are taken from a set of 3.1 wheat is taken from a set of 5.1 rice is taken from a set of 4.Hence the number is:
[tex]D = C_{3,2}C_{5,1}C_{4,1} = \frac{3!}{2!1!} \times \frac{5!}{1!4!} \times \frac{4!}{1!2!} = 3 \times 5 \times 4 = 60[/tex]
Hence the probability is:
p = 60/495.
Both numbers can be simplified by 5, hence:
p = 12/99.
They can also be simplified by 3, hence:
p = 4/33.
