<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The polynomial that can be simplified to a difference of squares is the second polynomial:

16a^{2}-4a+4a-1=16a^{2}=(4a)^{2}-(1)^{2}=(4-1)(4+1)

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve this problem, we need to look for which of the given quadratic terms given for the different polynomials can be a result of squaring (elevating by two).

So,

Discarding, we have:

The quadratic terms of the given polynomials are:

First=10a^{2}

Second=16a^{2}

Third=25a^{2}

Fourth=24a^{2}

We have that the coefficients of the quadratic terms that can be obtained by squaring are:

16a^{2} =(4a)^{2} \\\\25a^{2} =(5a)^{2}

The other two coefficients are not perfect squares since they can not be obtained by square rooting whole numbers.

So, the first and the fourth polynomial are discarded and cannot be simplified to a difference of squares at least using whole numbers.

Therefore, we need to work with the second and the third polynomial.

For the second polynomial, we have:

16a^{2} -4a+4a-1=16a^{2}=(4a)^{2}-(1)^{2} =(4-1)(4+1)

So, the second polynomial can be simplified to a difference of squares.

For the third polynomial, we have:

25a^{2} +6a-6a+36=16a^{2}+36=(5a)^{2}+(6)^{2}

So, the third polynomial cannot be simplified to a difference of squares since it's a sum of squares.

Hence, the polynomial that can be simplified to a difference of squares is the second polynomial:

16a^{2}-4a+4a-1=16a^{2}=(4a)^{2}-(1)^{2}

Given P equals $11260, T equals six years, and R equals 7.5% compounded weekly. Use the correct compound interest formula to cal
Dmitrij [34]

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded

p represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = 11260

t = 6

r = 7.5/100 = 0.075

n = 52(Assuming the number of weeks in a year is 52 and it would be compounded 52 times in a year)

Thus, we have

A = 11260(1 + 0.075/52)^52*6

A = 11260(1 + 0.075/52)^312

A = 17653.5

Keaton's dinner bill at a local restaurant before tax and tip was $25.85 if he wants to leave 15% of the bill for tip and there'
Ksju [112]
Bill = $25.85

Tips = 15% x $25.85 = $3.88

Tax = 6.25% x $25.85 = $1.62

Total amount = $25.85 + $3.88 + $1.62 = $31.35

------------------------------------------------------
Answer: He will spend $31.35 in total.

Solve the system by using the technique of ‘elimination’: -2x+5y=-42,7x+2y=30
Gekata [30.6K]

Solve the following system using elimination:

{5 y - 2 x = -42 | (equation 1)

7 x + 2 y = 30 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{7 x + 2 y = 30 | (equation 1)

-(2 x) + 5 y = -42 | (equation 2)

Add 2/7 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{7 x + 2 y = 30 | (equation 1)

0 x+(39 y)/7 = (-234)/7 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 7/39:

{7 x + 2 y = 30 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -6 | (equation 2)

Subtract 2 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{7 x+0 y = 42 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -6 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 7:

{x+0 y = 6 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -6 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 6, y = -6
