Answer:
No, They are not equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
The two expressions are only said to be equivalent if they are the same regardless of whatever value the variable(s) is.
The variable in this question is x.
To prove this, we equate both expressions:
This shows that they have the same value ONLY when x is 1.
This is why Andre says that they are equivalent, but they are not.
1) is correct.
2) is correct.

13) is your last choice.
14) is your last choice.
15) is your third choice.
A=4 and b =29 hope this helps
Perhaps you meant <span>(a^3+14a^2+33a-20) / (a+4), for division by (a+4).
Do you know synthetic division? If so, that'd be a great way to accomplish this division. Assume that (a+4) is a factor of </span>a^3+14a^2+33a-20; then assume that -4 is the corresponding root of a^3+14a^2+33a-20.
Perform synth. div. If there is no remainder, then you'll know that (a+4) is a factor and will also have the quoitient.
-4 / 1 14 33 -20
___ -4_-40 28___________
1 10 -7 8
Here the remainder is not zero; it's 8. However, we now know that the quotient is 1a^2 + 10a - 7 with a remainder of 8.
We first approach this problem by illustrating the situation. Refer to the diagram attached.
From the diagram, we can clearly see that we need to simply solve for the length marked x in order to find the distance between the foot of the ladder to the base of the wall.
Remember SOHCAHTOA. We can apply here the concept of cosine since we have the angle. Incorporationg x into the equation, we can simply make use of the relation cosine 72° = adjacent/hypotenuse.
ANSWER: The distance between the foot of the ladder and the base of the wall is 4.6 feet.
