What is the factored form of the expression (m^2 - 25)?

Back

(m - 5)(m + 5) is the factored form of (m^2 - 25), which is a difference of squares.

How can you define a sequence based on its first five terms: -1.75, -0.5, 0.75, 2, 3.25?

Back

The function f(n) = \frac{5}{4}(n - 1) - \frac{7}{4} can be used to define and continue this sequence.

Front

What is the equivalent expression for √3^8?

Back

The equivalent expression for √3^8 is 3^(1/4).

Front

What inequality represents all possible solutions of -6n < -12?

Back

The inequality n > 2 represents all possible solutions of -6n < -12.

Front

What does the formula R = V/t represent in terms of water flow?

Back

R is the rate of water flow, V is the volume in gallons, and t is the time in seconds. The appropriate unit for R is g/s.

Front

What is the definition of a difference of squares?

Back

A difference of squares is a polynomial of the form a^2 - b^2, which can be factored into (a - b)(a + b).

Front

What is the general form of a linear function?

Back

The general form of a linear function is f(n) = mn + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

How do you solve the inequality -6n < -12?

Back

To solve -6n < -12, divide both sides by -6, which reverses the inequality, giving n > 2.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a linear function?

Back

The slope indicates the rate of change of the function; it shows how much the output value changes for a unit change in the input value.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a rectangle?

Back

The area A of a rectangle is given by A = length × width.
