Answer:

long division of polynomials

Divide the first term of the numerator by the first term of the denominator, and put that in the answer.

Multiply the denominator by that answer, put that below the numerator.

Subtract to create a new polynomial.

The long division method is used when you are dividing a large number (usually three digits or more) by a two-digit (or more)

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, you are trying to simplify the numbers and the equation. You are trying to get the smallest possible number or solution. A difference between the two is that polynomials have factors and variables. Numbers are just numbers. With a polynomial, you have to combine like terms and try to reduce the length of the equation. You may not always fully solve a polynomial. With numbers, you probably will get an exact numeral answer.

4x - Зу = -3 4x + y = 17 Explain how as well

Jobisdone [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

I will solve your system by substitution.

(You can also solve this system by elimination.)

4x+y=17;4x−3y=−3

Step: Solve4x+y=17for y:

4x+y+−4x=17+−4x(Add -4x to both sides)

y=−4x+17

Step: Substitute−4x+17foryin4x−3y=−3:

4x−3y=−3

4x−3(−4x+17)=−3

16x−51=−3(Simplify both sides of the equation)

16x−51+51=−3+51(Add 51 to both sides)

16x=48

16/x = 48/16

(Divide both sides by 16)

x=3

Step: Substitute 3 for x in y=−4x+17:

y=−4x+17

y=(−4)(3)+17

y=5(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=3 and y=5

Select an equation that is equivalent to a^2-144b^2 a) (a-12b)^2 B) (a+12b)^2 C) (a-12b)(a+12b) C) a^2-24ab+144b^2

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

C) (a-12b)(a+12b)

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2-144b^2 = (a-12b)(a+12b)

This is the formula that when two terms squared are written with a minus sign between them their factors are the product of the original numbers once with a plus sign and once with the minus sign.

This can be explained by multiplying them.

(a-12b)

*(a+12b)

a²- 12ab

+12ab - 144b²

a² +0 - 144b²

We see we get the same answer as applying the formula above.
