Given expression is x² - 121

This is called Difference of Squared terms, we have a formula that is given as :-

a² - b² = (a - b) · (a + b)

Now using the above formula in the given expression, we get :-

x² - 121

x² - (11)²

here a = x and b = 11

x² - (11)² = (x - 11) · (x + 11)

but it says that student gave the answer as (x - 11) · (x - 11).

So, student's answer should be (x - 11) · (x + 11) instead of product of two (x - 11) terms.

Quadrilateral ABCD is translated to get quadrilateral A'B'C'D'. vertex A is at (-5,2) , and vertex A' is ay (2,-2), quadrilatera
belka [17]

Answer:

(-1,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the quadrilateral ABCD is translated to get quadrilateral A'B'C'D'. The vertex A is at (-5,2) is translated to vertex A' is at (2,-2).

The translation is x-direction, a, is the difference of x-coordinates of both the points, a=2-(-5)=2+5=7.

The translation is y-direction, b, is the difference of y-coordinates of both the points, b = -2-2 = -4.

As all the points are translated by the same magnitude as well as in the same direction, so by adding a to x and b to y coordinate of any points, the translated point can be determined.

The vertex of point B is (-6,5), so, the vertex of the point B' would be (-6+a, 5+b)=(-6+7, 5+(-4))=(-1,3).

Hence, the vertex of point B' is (-1,3).

How would I work this
Alex73 [517]
I can’t read the bottom half of the fraction so I will just assume it’s (a-b) to the power of 3.

So basically you have power of 4 and power of 3. so you can divide the top and bottom by (a-b) to the power of 3 so you would be left with a-b/1 = a-b


Final answer: a-b

Geometry help!!
Nastasia [14]
You answer will be C, Angle Side Angle (ASA).  Since you are given two lines parallel, then you know angle BCE and angle CEF are congruent using the reason of "If two lines are parallel then the alternate interior angles are congruent" (they are congruent because they are alternate interior angles). Also, angle CBF and angle BFE are congruent because they are both alternate interior angles.  
 
P.S. the first pair of alternate interior angles is created by parallel lines BC and EF and the intersecting line BF.  And the second pair is created by parallel lines BC and EF and intersecting line CE.
