Explanation:
A scientific control group is an essential part of many research designs, allowing researchers to minimize the effect of all variables except the independent variable. The control group, receiving no intervention, is used as a baseline to compare groups and assess the effect of that intervention.
Hello oddworld7836!
Factor the expression into an equivalent form 12y² - 75.
By observing the expression, we can see that, 3 is the only common factor in both the terms of the expression. So, take the common factor 3 out.
Now, look at (4y² - 25). They don't have any common factors but they appear in the form of the algebraic identity ⇨ a² - b² = (a + b) (a - b). Here,
- a² = 4, a = 2 (√a² = ✓4 = 2)
- b² = 25, b = 5 (√b² = ✓25 = 5)
So, the (4y² + 25) becomes...
Now, bring the 3 (common factor) & rewrite the complete expression.
We can't further simplify it. Also, remember that the simplified form of an expression is equivalent to the expression. So, 3 (2y - 5) (2y + 5) is equivalent to 12y² - 75.
