Answer:
(3a-1)(3a+1)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can quickly see with this problem that it is the difference of two squares as 9a^2 is (3a)^2 and 1 is 1^2 and therefore can factorise quickly using this rule.
x^2-y^2 = (x-y)(x+y) where x = 3a and y = 1
If you multiple the numbers together...you will get the answer....480 pounds of water in total
First, coordinate Q is (-5,2) and Q' is (6,2). First, we know that this is a horizontal reflection becuase only the x-values change. This means that the line of reflection will be x=some value. I think the best way to go about this is to find the midpoint of Q and Q' using the formula: M=(x1+x2/2,y1+y2/2)
Q is the first point and Q' is the second point
M=(-5+6/2,2+2/2)
M=(1/2,4/2)
M=(1/2,2)
Since we know the y-values of Q, Q', and the midpoints are all 2, then the line of reflection would be x=1/2
Hope this helps
