The factors are
(x-y)(x-y)
or
(x-y)^2
Explanation:
We need to factor the trinomial
x^2-2xy+y^2
The factors of x^2 = (x)(x)
The factors of y^2 = (y)(y)
Since the second sign is positive we are adding the factors meaning the signs of the factors need to be the same. Since the first sign is negative both signs must be negative.
The factors are
(x-y)(x-y)
or
(x-y)^2
Check by FOIL
Firsts (x)(x) = x^2
Outers (x)(-y) = -xy
Inners (-y)(x) = -xy
Lasts (-y)(-y) = y^2
combine the middle terms
(-xy)+(-xy) = -2xy

Answer:
Option 1 I believe
Step-by-step explanation:
So theres 366 days in a leap year,
you need to find hours, minutes, and then seconds
366 x 24 = 8,784 hours
8,784 x 60 = 527,040 minutes
527,040 x 60 = 31,622,400 seconds
31,622,400 seconds x 186,182 mps = 5.88 x 10^10
therefore light travels 5.88 x 10^10 in one leap year
Answer:
<em>Mrs. Adams will earn $3,120 of interest at the end of year 8.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Simple Interest</u>
In simple interest, the money earns interest at a fixed rate, assuming no new money is coming in or out of the account.
We can calculate the interests earned by an investment of value A in a period of time t, at an interest rate r with the formula:

Mrs. Adams deposited an amount of A=$12,000 into an account that earns an annual simple interest rate of r=3.25%. We must find the interest earned in t=8 years. The interest rate is converted to decimal as:

The interest is then calculated:

Mrs. Adams will earn $3,120 of interest at the end of year 8.
