2 ÷ (5 + 3)⁻¹ ÷ 4
2 ÷ (8)⁻¹ ÷ 4
2 ÷ 1/8 ÷ 4
16 ÷ 4
= 4
My answer is the 2nd option.
Without changing the compass setting from the previous step, place the compass on point P. Draw an arc similar to the one already drawn.
Parallel lines are lines that do not meet. In this figure, point P is the point where the 2nd line can be drawn and become parallel to line AB.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
This is a multiplication problem.
We want to multiply 
We factor to get:

We now cancel out the common factors to get:

We now multiply the numerators and the denominators separately to get.
This simplifies to 
Therefore the simplified expression is 
Answer:
The quotient is 
Step-by-step explanation:
The given polynomial division is 
To perform the synthetic division we write out the coefficients and arrange them as shown.
1 -4 4 -1
<u>1 | 1 -3 1</u>
1 -3 1 0
The quotient is 
The descending powers of x means from highest degree to the least
The remainder is 0
