Combining the like terms, the simplified polynomials are given as follows:
a) 4x² - 14x + 17
b) -5x² - 20x + 8
<h3>How are polynomials simplified?</h3>
Polynomials are simplified combining the like terms, that is, adding these numbers with the same variable.
Item a:
4(x - 2)(x + 1) - 5(2x - 5)
Applying the distributive property:
4(x² - x - 2) - 10x + 25
4x² - 4x - 8 - 10x + 25
Combining the like terms:
4x² - 4x - 10x - 8 + 25
4x² - 14x + 17
Item b:
-5(x + 2)² + 28
-5(x² + 4x + 4) + 28
-5x² - 20x - 20 + 28
-5x² - 20x + 8

Your answer would be, Yes! It is an Isosceles Trapezoid, Because, Isosceles trapezoids have at least one set of opposite sides, that are parallel, mainly the base, and it's opposite. The non-base sides are equal in length to each other, and the base angles are equal to each other.
Hope that helps!!!!!!
The answer is 15. Just count the spaces between A and D.
Answer:
The total trip will be 4 hours long.
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the trip decreases by 65/2 miles for every half hour. So in 2 half hours (or 1 hour), Aubree would have traveled the last 65 miles she needed.
