The polynomial 9x^2 + 4 is equivalent to (3x+2i)(3x-2i). The answer is A.

Polynomials are algebraic expressions that consist of variables and coefficients where arithmetic operations can be performed.

A polynomial is expanded if no variable appears within parentheses and all like terms have been combined.

To expand a polynomial, multiply its factors (often by using the distributive property) or perform the indicated operations.  Then combine all like terms.

Expanding each of the options provided using FOIL method:

a) (3x+2i)(3x-2i)

= 9x^2 - 2ix + 2ix - 4i^2

= 9x^2 - 4i^2            *(i^2 = -1) note that i is an imaginary number and i squared is equal to -1

= 9x^2 - 4(-1)

= 9x^2 + 4

b) (3x+2)(3x-2)

= 9x^2 + 6x - 6x - 4

= 9x^2 - 4

c) (3x + 2i)^2

= 9x^2 + 6ix + 6ix + 4i^2          *(i^2 = -1)

= 9x^2 + 12ix - 4

d) (3x + 2)^2

= 9x^2 + 6x + 6x + 4

= 9x^2 + 12x + 4

Hence, the polynomial 9x^2 + 4 is equivalent to (3x+2i)(3x-2i). The answer is A.

Need help ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!
eimsori [14]

Answer:

8 small tables

Step-by-step explanation:

they told you they have 5 large tables that seat 10 guests and 98 guests are coming. You need to subtract 50 from 98 because after you multiple how many guests can sit at each large table by how many large tables they have it equals 50 so 98-50=48 then you need to divide 48 by six because each small table sits six people so 48/6=8 so you need 8 small tables.
