Factor the following difference of squares. *Check for a GCF.
ANSWER
(x + 15)(x - 15)
EXPLANATION
The difference of squares is equivalent to the product of the sum and subtraction of the bases,
[tex]a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)[/tex]So, to factor this difference of squares, we have to find the principal square roots of each term,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{x^2}=x \\ \sqrt[]{225}=15 \end{gathered}[/tex]So this is,
[tex]x^2-225=x^2-15^2=(x+15)(x-15)[/tex]Hence, the factored form is (x + 15)(x - 15).

A rectangular room is 5 meters longer than it is wide, and its perimeter is 30 meters. Find the dimension of the room
The dimensions of the rectangular room is 10 meters and 5 meters respectively.
What is the dimensions of the room?The perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)
Let
Width of the room = w metersLength of the room = (w + 5) metersPerimeter of the room = 30 metersThe perimeter of the rectangular room = 2(length + width)
30 = 2{(w + 5) + w}
30 = 2(w + 5 + w)
open parenthesis
30 = 2w + 10 + 2w
collect like terms
30 - 10 = 4w
20 = 4w
divide both sides by w
w = 20/4
w = 5
Hence,
Width of the room = w meters
= 5 meters
Length of the room = (w + 5) meters
= (5 + 5)
= 10 meters
Therefore, the length and width of the room are 10 meters and 5 meters respectively.

choose the fraction pair that is equivalent. 3/4 and 4/3, 4/5 and 8/20, 8/24 and 1/3, or 3/12 and 1/3
To find out if two fractions are equivalent or not, we multiply by a cross. That is, multiply the numerator of the first fraction with the denominator of the second fraction and multiply the denominator of the first fraction with the numerator of the second fraction and check that it gives us the same result. For example:

We are told that one can of soda has a capacity of 354 milliliters, then in order to calculate how much soda is there in 6 cans, we just have to multiply 354 mlliliters by 6, then we get:
Soda in 6 cans = 354 × 6 = 2124
We can split these 2124 milliliters as 2000 milliliters+ 124 milliliters.
1 liter is equivalent to 1000 milliliters, then we can convert the first 2000 milliliters to liters by dividing by 1000, then we get:
soda in 6 cans = 2000 ÷ 1000 liters + 124 milliliters
soda in 6 cans = 2 liters + 124 milliliters
Then, the amount of soda in 6 cans is 2liters 124milliliters, the correct answer is option B

What can you tell about the means for these two months? (1 point)The mean for April is higher than October's mean.There is no way of telling what the means are.The low median for October pulls its mean below April's mean.O The high range for October pulls its mean above April's mean.
The box plot shows the distribution of the data classified in quartiles.
If we want to know about the mean of the data set, we can only that it will be located within the range of the data set.
It will be closer to the median as the distribution gets less skewed.
By looking at the box plot, we can not confirm that April's mean is higher than October's mean, as the plots are overlapped.
We can not also concluded about the relation between the spread of the data and the relation with the mean.
Then, the most appropiate conclusion from the options is "There is no way of telling what the means are".

You have a 52 standard deck.
There are 4 suites on the deck: diamonds, hearts, spades, and clubs.
Each suite has 13 ranks: Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Jack, Queen, and King → This means that there are 4 cards with each rank on the deck.
The "9 of clubs is missing on your deck"
This means that:
1) Your deck has one less card, the total number of cards is 51.
2) Your deck has one less club, instead of 13 club cards, you have 12.
3) Your deck has one 9 less, which means that there are 3 nines on your deck.
a) You have to select one event, whose probability decreased due to the missing 9 of clubs.
For example, the event "you draw a card at random and it's a 9"
The expected probability of drawing a 9 of the deck can be determined as the number of nines divided by the number of cards on the deck:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(9)=\frac{4}{52} \\ P(9)=\frac{1}{13} \\ P(9)=0.076\approx7.6\% \end{gathered}[/tex]But in reality, there is one 9 is missing from the deck, so you have 3 nines and 51 cards on the deck, its probability is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(9)=\frac{3}{51} \\ P(9)=\frac{1}{17} \\ P(9)=0.059\approx5.9\% \end{gathered}[/tex]The expected probability of drawing a card at random and the card being a 9 is 7.6%, but due to the missing card, the probability dropped to 5.9%.
This means that drawing a card at random and selecting a 9 is less likely than expected.
b) You have to select one event whose probability increased due to the missing card.
For example, the probability of drawing an Ace, knowing that the card is a club:
On a normal deck there are 13 clubs and "one Ace of clubs", the expected probability of drawing the ace, given that the card is a club can be determined as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(\text{Ace}|\text{Club)}=\frac{1}{13} \\ P(\text{Ace}|\text{Club)}=0.076\approx7.6\% \end{gathered}[/tex]But we are missing one club, which means that the total number of clubs is missing, so instead of having 13 clubs, we have twelve. The probability can be determined as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(\text{Ace}|\text{Club)}=\frac{1}{12} \\ P(\text{Ace}|\text{Club)}=0.083\approx8.3\% \end{gathered}[/tex]The expected probability of drawing the Ace, given that the card is a club, on a normal deck is 7.6%, but due to the missing 9 of clubs, this probability has increased to 8.3%.
So this event is more likely due to the missing card.
c) You have to select an event whose probability hasn't changed due to the missing card.
For example, the event "draw a card at random and is a Heart"
The expected probability of drawing a heart from the deck is equal to the quotient between the number of hearts and the total number of cards on the deck:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(H)=\frac{13}{52} \\ P(H)=\frac{1}{4} \\ P(H)=0.25\approx25\% \end{gathered}[/tex]Your deck is missing one card, so there are 13 Hearts and a total of 51 cards, the probability can be determined as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(H)=\frac{13}{51} \\ P(H)\approx0.254\approx25.4\% \end{gathered}[/tex]The probability of drawing a heart is around 25% when the deck is complete or missing one card.
A box is filled with 12 red cards 2 blue cards and 4 green cards a card is chosen at random from the box what is the probability that the card is not blue write your answer as a fraction in simplest form
There are 12+2+4=18 cards in total. The probability to get a not-blue card is
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(\text{not blue) = 1 - P(blue)} \\ P(\text{not blue) =}1-\frac{2}{18} \end{gathered}[/tex]which gives
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(\text{not blue})=1-\frac{1}{9} \\ P(\text{not blue})=\frac{9}{9}-\frac{1}{9} \\ P(\text{not blue})=\frac{9-1}{9} \\ P(\text{not blue})=\frac{8}{9} \end{gathered}[/tex]then, the probability that the card is not blue is 8/9.
