Answer:

  5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

A common factor of 8 can be canceled from numerator and denominator.

  40/56 = (5·8)/(7·8) = (5/7)·(8/8) = (5/7)·1 = 5/7

_____

Since you know your multiplication tables, you know that 40 and 56 are both multiples of 8.

__

If you don't know your multiplication tables, you can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers and divide each by that. The GCD can be found using Euclid's algorithm. For that, you divide the larger by the smaller and use the remainder as the new smaller number. The original smaller number is now the larger number. For these numbers, that looks like ...

  56 ÷ 40 = 1 r 16

  40 ÷ 16 = 2 r 8

  16 ÷ 8 = 2 r 0 . . . . . the zero remainder signals that the divisor (8) is the GCD

Now, your fraction is ...

  (40/8) / (56/8) = 5/7

I NEED HELP!! ILL MARK BRAINLIEST AND GIVE YOU 100 POINTS!!
Flauer [41]

I'm not entirely sure if the focus of this question is more on marketing or the proof, but I can try to help a bit with the proof.

From what I can tell this is basically asking you to take a polynomial from column A, square it, and then add it to column B, and then simplify it while showing your work in order to create an identity. For example:

(x+y)^2 + (ax+b) =

x^2 + xy + +y^2 + ax+b =

x^2 + ax +y^2 + xy + b

Factor out an x from x^2 + ax and a y from y^2 + xy (you don't have to simplify it this way, I'm just doing it as an example)

x(x+a) + y(y+x) + b

Therefore, (x+y)^2 + (ax+b) = x(a+x) + y(y+x)

I can't really help with making a flier, but hopefully this helps

Express sin(3theta) in terms of sin (theta)
BigorU [14]
3∅ can be rewritten as (2∅+∅)
sin(3∅) = sin(2∅ + ∅<span>)
Opening brackets on the right hand side;
 = sin2</span>∅ cos ∅ + cos2∅sin<span>∅
</span><span>This simplifies to;
 = 2sin</span>∅cos^2∅ + sin∅ (1- 2sin^2∅<span>)
 = sin</span>∅ (2cos^2∅ + 1 - 2sin^2∅<span>)
 = sin</span>∅ (2(1 - sin^2∅) +1-2sin^2∅<span>)
 = 3sin</span>∅ - 4sin^3<span>∅</span>

What is the value of 1/2 x^3+3.4y when x=2 and y=5?
lora16 [44]
(1/2) * x^3 + 3.4y when X = 2 and Y = 5.
= (1/2) * (2^3) * 3.4(5)
= (1/2) * 8 * 17
= (1/2) * 136
= 136/2
= 68.
