Answer:

(a) (x+1)(x-1)

(b)(3x+1)(3x-1)

(c) (x+3)(x+5)

(d)(2x+5)(2x+3)

(e)(x+y)(x-y)

(f) (x^{2}  +y^{2})(x+y)(x-y)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to factorize the following expressions:

(a) x²-1 =(x+1)(x-1) (Answer) {Since we know the formula (a²-b²) =(a+b)(a-b)}

(b) 9x²-1 =(3x+1)(3x-1) (Answer) {Since we know the formula (a²-b²) =(a+b)(a-b)}

(c) x²+8x+15 = x² +3x+5x+15 =(x+3)(x+5) (Answer)

(d) 4x²+16x+15 =4x²+10x+6x+15 = 2x(2x+5) +3(2x+5) =(2x+5)(2x+3) (Answer)

(e) x²-y² =(x+y)(x-y) (Answer)

(f) x^{4}-y^{4} =(x^{2}   +y^{2})(x^{2}  -y^{2})=(x^{2}  +y^{2})(x+y)(x-y) (Answer) {Since we know the formula (a²-b²) =(a+b)(a-b)}

What is the solution to w-11=1.3
trapecia [35]
<span>Simplifying w + -11 = 1.3
 
Reorder the terms: -11 + w = 1.3
 
Solving -11 + w = 1.3
 
Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '11' to each side of the equation. -11 + 11 + w = 1.3 + 11
 
Combine like terms: -11 + 11 = 0 0 + w = 1.3 + 11 w = 1.3 + 11
 
Combine like terms: 1.3 + 11 = 12.3 w = 12.3
 
Simplifying w = 12.3 <--- (Answer)

Mr Taylor brought back 180 Euros to the UK. The exchange rate was €1.2 to £1.
solong [7]
The answer is £150.

This could be calculated using proportion. If £1 is €1.2, how many £ is €180:
£1 : €1.2 = x : <span>€180
</span>x = £1 ÷ €1.2 × <span>€180</span>
x = £150
