angelique says that finding the absolute value of a number is the same as finding the opposite of the number. For example |-5|=5

. Explain her error.

So, Angelique took away a a number from the two numbers and did not replace it with the correct number. So, this should be 1-51=50. Hope I helped! :)

A parallelogram has a length of 6 centimeters and a width of 4.5 centimeters. This parallelogram is dilated by a scale factor of

Arada [10]

Scale factor is given by:
(length of larger figure)/(length of smaller figure)=(width of larger figure)/(width of the smaller figure)=3.4
The length of the larger figure will be given by:
length=(scale factor)*(length of smaller figure)
=3.4*6=20.4 cm
width of the larger figure will be given by:
width=(scale factor)*(width of smaller figure)
=3.4*4.5
=15.3 cm
Therefore the dimension of the new parallelogram will be 20.4 cm by 15.3 cm

Let's Solve ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 4 {x}^{2} + 20x + 25$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 4 {x}^{2} + 10x + 10x + 25$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 2x(2x + 5) + 5(2x + 5)$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: (2x + 5) (2x + 5)$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: (2x + 5) {}^{2}$

or

$\sf{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 4x² + 20x + 25 }$

$\sf{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: (2x)² + (2 \sdot 2x \sdot 5) + (5)²}$

[ it's similar to expression - a² + 2ab + b² that is equal to (a + b)² ]

so, let's use this identity here to factorise :

$\sf{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: (2x + 5)²}$
