The missing pieces strategy is another method to compare two fractions. To tell which number is larger, you need to see which one is missing less. For example, you have 3/4 versus 4/5. Each of these fractions needs 1 to complete the whole. You need to subtract the numerator with one to compare them. For 3/4 we have 1/4 and for 4/5 we have 1/5. You know that if you complete 4/5 you will get 4. You know that 5 is greater than four. Therefore, 4/5 is larger than 3/4.

Answer: Option C, 2x^2(x - 3)(x^2 + 3x + 9)
Question #2
p(x) = 4x^6 + 32x^3
<u>Step 1: Factor</u>
4x^6 + 32x^3
4x^3(x^3 + 8)
<em>4x^3(x + 2)(x^2 - 2x + 4)</em>

Answer: Options 1, 2, 5
Answer:
92.75 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of triangle ADC
= (1/2)×4.5×12 = 27
Area of triangle ACB
=(1/2)×12×5 = 30
Find AB using pythagoras theorem on triangle ABC:
AB^2 = 5^2 + 12^2 = 25 + 144
AB^2 = 169
AB = 13cm
Area of triangle AGB
= (1/2)×13×5.5 = 35.75
Total area = sum of the areas of the 3 triangles found above
= 27 + 30 + 35.75 = 92.75 cm^2
