4 0

Answer:

A. (a, 0)

D. (a/2,b/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

(a, 0) lies on one side of the triangle, because it is between (0,0) and (2a,0)

(0, b) doesn't lie on one side of the triangle, because only the only point with x-coordinate = 0 is (0,0)

(–a, b) doesn't lie on one side of the triangle, because only positive values are valid

Imagine the triangle with vertices (0,0), (a, 0) and (a,b). Let's call β the angle at vertex (0,0)

tan(β) = b/a

For triangle with vertices (0,0), (a/2, 0) and (a/2,b/2)

tan(β) = (b/2)/(a/2) = b/a

then, (a/2,b/2) lies on one side of the triangle

For triangle with vertices (0,0), (a/3, 0) and (a/3,b/4)

tan(β) = (b/4)/(a/3) = (3/4)*(b/a) ≠ b/a

then, (a/3,b/4) doesn't lie on one side of the triangle

What is the sum of the difference?
Alona [7]

Answer:

A. 9x^4 and 3x^5y

Step-by-step explanation:

there are two ways to solve this:

first way:

You can solve this my substituting numbers for x and y in this case i used 2 for x and 3 for y and see which one is equal to the original equations

the second way is the regular way

when you add or subtract numbers with variables and exponents you want to add the constants and add the exponents in this case 5x^{4} +4x^2 is the same as (5x+4x)^(4+4) = 9x^4and you can do the same process for subtraction

12x^{5}y-9x^5 y\\(12x-9x)^(5+5)*y= 3x^5y

Show all work to factor x4 − 10x2 + 9 completely.
leva [86]

Answer:

(x+1)(x-1)(x+3)(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x4-10x^2+9

Group expression so that the coefficients of the x^2 terms add up to +9.

= x^4 -9x^2   - x^2+9

match coefficients in both groups

= x^4 -9x^2   - (x^2-9)

factor each group

= x^2 (x^2-9) - 1(x^2-9)

now factor out the common factor (x^2-9)

= (x^2-1)(x^2-9)

Finally, factor each quadratic factor

= (x+1)(x-1)(x+3)(x-3)
