Use the commutative and associative properties of multiplication to write an expression equivalent to (4⋅5)⋅3.

1 answer:

4 0

Commutaive property says
ab=ba or expanded to say
abc=cba

associative peropty =
a(bc)=(ab)c

so using that
first mix them up knowing that we can move the parenthaseese
all possible equivelnt ones are
4*(5*3)
(3*5)*4
3*(5*4)
(3*4)*5
3*(4*5)

Factor the following:
4 p (4 p - 1) - 3 (4 p - 1)^2

Factor 4 p - 1 from 4 p (4 p - 1) - 3 (4 p - 1)^2:
(4 p - 1) (4 p - 3 (4 p - 1))

-3 (4 p - 1) = 3 - 12 p:
(4 p - 1) (4 p + 3 - 12 p)

Grouping like terms, 4 p - 12 p + 3 = 3 + (4 p - 12 p):
(4 p - 1) (3 + (4 p - 12 p))
4 p - 12 p = -8 p:

Answer: (4 p - 1) (-8 p + 3)

Factor the following:
m (m + n) - 3 m (m + n)^2

Factor m + n out of m (m + n) - 3 m (m + n)^2, resulting in (m + n) (m - 3 m (m + n)^(2 - 1)):
(m + n) (m - 3 m (m + n)^(2 - 1))

2 - 1 = 1:
(m + n) (m - 3 m (m + n))

Factor m out of m - 3 m (m + n), resulting in m (1 - 3 (m + n)):
m (1 - 3 (m + n)) (m + n)

-3 (m + n) = -3 m - 3 n:
Answer: m (m + n) (-3 m - 3 n + 1)

Factor the following:
6 u^2 (2 u - 5)^2 - 12 u^2 (2 u - 5) (u + 5)

Factor u^2 out of 6 u^2 (2 u - 5)^2 - 12 u^2 (2 u - 5) (u + 5), resulting in u^2 (6 (2 u - 5)^2 - 12 (2 u - 5) (u + 5)):
u^2 (6 (2 u - 5)^2 - 12 (2 u - 5) (u + 5))

(2 u - 5) (2 u - 5) = (2 u) (2 u) + (2 u) (-5) + (-5) (2 u) + (-5) (-5) = 4 u^2 - 10 u - 10 u + 25 = 4 u^2 - 20 u + 25:
u^2 (6 4 u^2 - 20 u + 25 - 12 (2 u - 5) (u + 5))

6 (4 u^2 - 20 u + 25) = 24 u^2 - 120 u + 150:
u^2 (24 u^2 - 120 u + 150 - 12 (2 u - 5) (u + 5))

(u + 5) (2 u - 5) = (u) (2 u) + (u) (-5) + (5) (2 u) + (5) (-5) = 2 u^2 - 5 u + 10 u - 25 = 2 u^2 + 5 u - 25:u^2 (150 - 120 u + 24 u^2 - 122 u^2 + 5 u - 25)

-12 (2 u^2 + 5 u - 25) = -24 u^2 - 60 u + 300:
u^2 (-24 u^2 - 60 u + 300 + 24 u^2 - 120 u + 150)

Grouping like terms, 24 u^2 - 24 u^2 - 60 u - 120 u + 150 + 300 = (-120 u - 60 u) + (24 u^2 - 24 u^2) + (150 + 300):
u^2 ((-120 u - 60 u) + (24 u^2 - 24 u^2) + (150 + 300))

-120 u - 60 u = -180 u:
u^2 (-180 u + (24 u^2 - 24 u^2) + (150 + 300))
150 + 300 = 450:
u^2 (-180 u + (24 u^2 - 24 u^2) + 450)

24 u^2 - 24 u^2 = 0:
u^2 (450 - 180 u)

Factor 90 out of 450 - 180 u:
Answer: u^2×90 (5 - 2 u)
