Multiply:<br>(x+y)by (x+y)<br>a+b by a^2-b^2<br>(a+5) by (a^2-2a-3)<br>(a^2-ab+b^3) by (a+b)

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Multiply:

$(x+y)by (x+y)$

$: \implies(x + y)(x + y)$

$: \implies \: x(x + y) + y(x + y)$

$: \implies {x}^{2} + xy + xy + {y}^{2}$

$: \implies{x}^{2} + 2xy + {y}^{2}$

Multiply:

$a+b \: by \: a^2-b^2$

$: \implies( {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} ) \times (a + b)$

$: \implies \: {a}^{2} (a + b) - {b}^{2} (a + b)$

$: \implies \: {a}^{3} + {a}^{2} b - {ab}^{2} - {b}^{3}$

Multiply:

$(a+5) by (a^2-2a-3)$

$: \implies{(a + 5) \times ( {a}^{2} - 2a - 3) }$

$: \implies \: a({a}^{2} - 2a - 3) + 5( {a}^{2} - 2a - 3)$

$: \implies(a \times {a}^{2} - a \times 2a - a \times 3) + (5 \times {a}^{2} - 5 \times 2a - 5 \times 3)$

$: \implies{a}^{3} - {2a}^{2} - 3a + 5 {a}^{2} - 10a - 15$

$: \implies{ {a}^{3} + {3a}^{2} - 13a - 15}$

Multiply:

$(a^2-ab+b^3) by (a+b)$

$: \implies{(a + b) \times ( {a}^{2} - ab + {b}^{3} )}$

$: \implies \: a( {a}^{2} - ab + {b}^{3}) + b( {a}^{2} - ab + {b}^{3} )$

$: \implies {a}^{3} - {a}^{2} b + a {b}^{3} + {a^2b} - {ab}^{2} + {b}^{4}$

$: \implies{ {a}^{3}+ab^3 - ab^2+ {b}^{4} }$

What is the length of DE

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

DE = 20units

Step-by-step explanation:

In Δ ABC,

angle A is congruent to angle B.... (given)

therefore, ΔABC is an isoceles triangle.

therefore, CA = CB..... (side opposite to congruent angles are congruent in an isoceles triangle)

therefore, CB = 4 units

In ΔCDE,

angle D is congruent to angle E.... (given)

therefore, ΔCDE is an isoceles triangle.

therefore, CD = CE

therefore, CD = 8 units

ΔCDE ~ ΔCBA

therefore,

$\frac{cd}{cb} = \frac{ce}{ca} = \frac{de}{ab} \\ therefore \: \frac{8}{4} = \frac{8}{4} = \frac{de}{10 } \\ therefore \\ \frac{2}{1 } = \frac{de}{10 } \\ de \: = 2 \times 10 = 20units$

What is the range of the function f(x) = -|X - 4| + 5?

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Range = (-<em>∞, 5</em>)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the absolute value function with transformation.

The parent function is f(x) = |x|

This function has a "negative" in front, so it makes it reflect about x axis

The -4 after x makes horizontal translation of 4 units right

the +5 at the end makes the function translate 5 units UP

<em>The graph is shown in the attached picture.</em>

<em>Looking at the graph, we can clearly see the range. The range is the allowed y-values. Hence, we can see that the </em><em>range is -infinity to 5</em>

<em />

<em>answer is not properly given, so i can't choose from the options, but the answer is -∞, 5 to 5</em>
