The blank should be the power of -4, so the statement is 1.7 x 10^-4 = 0.00017.
What are the options they have given?
The error would be assuming the altitude is a bisector and divides the sides evenly.
Answer:
5−x²+2xy−y²
Step-by-step explanation:
5 - (x-y)²
Rewrite
(x−y)² as (x−y)(x−y) so
5−((x−y)(x−y))
Expand (x−y)(x−y) using the FOIL Method
Apply the distributive property.
5−(x(x−y)−y(x−y))
Apply the distributive property
5−(x⋅x+x(−y)−y(x−y))
Apply the distributive property
5−(x⋅x+x(−y)−yx−y(−y))
Simplify and combine like terms
Simplify each term
5−(x²−xy−yx+y²)
Subtract yx from −xy
5−(x²−2xy+y²)
Apply the distributive property
5−x²−(−2xy)−y²
Multiply −2 by −1
5−x²+2xy−y²
Answer: The answer is d. 64 units
