Answer:

(r^2 - r - 1)(r^2 + r - 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

r^4 - 3r^2 + 1

We need to make this into  a perfect square so the r^4 and the  1  fit the bill but not the  -3r^2 so we have to correct for that.

A perfect square would be:

r^4 - 2r^2 + 1       ( = (r^2 - 1)^2 )

But we need -3r^2  so we add - r^2 at the end:

= (r^4 - 2r^2 + 1)  - r^2   So now we have the difference of 2 squares and we write:

(r^2 - 1)^2 - r^2

= (r^2 - 1 - r)(r^2 - 1 + r)

= (r^2 - r - 1)(r^2 + r - 1)

(a) The perimeter of a rectangular parking lot is 370 m.
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Perimeter = 2(length + breadth)
370 = 2 ( 98 + b)
370/2 = 98 + b
185. = 98 +b
b = 185 - 98
b. = 87
Therefore breadth = 87 sq m

On a coordinate plane, line P Q goes through (negative 6, 4) and (4, negative 4). Point R On a coordinate plane, a line goes thr
Nitella [24]

Answer:

x + 2y = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Line goes through (-4, 0) and (4, -4).

The slope is (-4 - 0) / (4 - -4) = -4 / (4 + 4) = -4 / 8 = -1/2.

Since we are looking for the equation of the line parallel to that line, the slope will be the same.

We have an equation of y = -1/2x + b. We have a point at (2, 3). We can then say that y = 3 when x = 2.

3 = (-1/2) * 2 + b

b - 1 = 3

b = 4.

So, we have y = -1/2x + 4.

1/2x + y = 4

x + 2y = 8.

Hope this helps!

PLEASE HELP ASAP!
ExtremeBDS [4]
Ok so I will take this from the top, lets start out  with choice A (-1,-12) we will need to see if the answer is equal to A. so first lets just merge these two problems into eachother to get 4x-8=2x-10 now, after subtracting 2x from each side we get 2x-8=-10. Now, add 8 to both sides which will give us 2x=-2... now it is simple, just divide -2 by 2 to get an answer for x as -1...Answer A is the correct answer
