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

The circle above has an area of 144 pi cm^2. What is the area of the blue sector? Use 3.14 for pi.
sineoko [7]

Answer:

150.72 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The blue area has an angle of 120 degrees, and 120/360 = 1/3, which shows that the blue area is 1/3 of the circle. In that case, the blue area is just 144pi/3. That simplifies to 48 pi.

48*3.14 = 150.72

Suppose Paul went to the store and bought 4 peaches to add to the basket.Write two new numerical expressions to represent the to
sasho [114]

Answer:

1. n + 4

2. x(n) + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The two solutions were arrived at based on the following :

1. The total number of fruit, irrespective of the kind or type.

In this case, let the number of fruit be n.

Adding 4 peaches gives: n + 4 fruits.

2. The second expression takes into account the peaches only.

This times around, let the total fruits be n.

The number of peaches in the basket can be given as a fraction. Let the fraction be <em>x</em>

The number of peaches is the fraction of peaches multiplied by the total number of fruit like this: <em>x</em>n

However, 4 peaches are added, therefore, the total number will be <em>x</em>n+4

This figure denotes the number of peaches in the basket.
