What is the simplified expression for –2a2b + a2 – 5ab + 3ab2 – b2 + 2(a2b + 2ab)?

-2a²b + a² + 3ab² - b² + 2(a²b + 2ab)

Simplify the parenthesis first.

-2a²b + a² + 3ab² - b² + 2a²b + 4ab

Now, add like terms.

(-2a²b + 2a²b) + 3ab² + 4ab + a² + b²

Simplify.

3ab² + 4ab + a² + b²

That is the simplest it can be simplified.

Evaluate 4a + 7b + 3a − 2b for a = 5 and b = −3.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$4a+7b+3a-2b\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=(4a+3a)+(7b-2b)\\\\=7a+5b\qquad\text{put a = 5 and b = -3 to the expression}\\\\7(5)+5(-3)=35-15=20$

What is the equation of the graphed line in point-slope form?

Flura [38]

We first need to find the gradient of the line
$\frac{y_{2}- y_{1} } {x_{2}-x_{1} } = \frac{-3-1}{-3-3}= \frac{-4}{-6}= \frac{2}{3}$

From the graph, we see the graph intercepts y-axis at -1

Hence, the equation of the line is $y= \frac{2}{3}x-1$
