All exercises involve the same concept, so I'll show you how to do the first, then you can apply the exact same logic to all the others.

The first thing you need to know is that, when a certain quantity multiplies a parenthesis, you can distribute that number to every element in the parenthesis. This means that

a(b+c) = ab+ac

So, a is multiplying the parenthesis involving b and c, and we distributed it: a multiplies both  b and c in the final result.

Secondly, you have to know how to recognize like terms, because they are the only terms you can sum. Two terms can be summed if they have the same literal expression. So, for example, you cannot sum 3x+2y, and neither 5x^2-4x exponents count.

But you can su, for example,

5x-3x = (5-3)x = 2x

or

23xy^2z^6 - 17xy^2z^6 = 6xy^2z^6

So, take for example exercise 9:

1.2(7x-5y) - (10y-4.3x)

We distribute the 1.2 through the first parenthesis:

1.2(7x-5y) = 1.2 \cdot 7x - 1.2 \cdot 5y = 8.4x-6y

And you can distribute the negative sign through the second parenthesis (it counts as a -1 to distribute):

- (10y-4.3x) = -10y+4.3x

So, the expression becomes

8.4x-6y-10y+4.3x

Now sum like terms:

(8.4+4.3)x + (-6-10)y = 12.7x - 16y

Can someone answer these questions ? thank you

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12a)To rationalize the denominator, multiply the denominator and numerator by √5.

\frac{15}{\sqrt{5}}=\frac{15*\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}*\sqrt{5}}\\\\=\frac{15\sqrt{5}}{5}\\\\=3\sqrt{5}

b) (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

(1 +√3)² = 1² + 2*1*√3 + (√3)²

= 1 + 2√3 + 3

= 4 + 2√3

a = 4 ; b =2

13) (a + b)(a - b) = a² - b²

\frac{(6-\sqrt{5})(6+\sqrt{5})}{\sqrt{31}}=\frac{6^{2}-(\sqrt{5})^{2}}{\sqrt{31}}\\\\ =\frac{36-5}{\sqrt{31}}\\\\=\frac{31}{\sqrt{31}}\\\\=\frac{31*\sqrt{31}}{\sqrt{31}*\sqrt{31}}\\\\=\frac{31\sqrt{31}}{31}\\\\=\sqrt{31}

Pls help :Find the missing side or angle.<br> Round to the nearest tenth.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

C° = 71.6056

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of Cosines: c² = a² + b² - 2abcosC°

Step 1: Plug in known variables

29² = 30² + 15² - 2(30)(15)cosC°

Step 2: Evaluate

841 = 900 + 225 - 900cosC°

-59 = 225 - 900cosC°

-284 = -900cosC°

71/225 = cosC°

cos⁻¹(71/225) = C°

C° = 71.6056

And we have our answer!
