Answer:

- 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(3x² - 5)(4 + 4x²)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

3x²(4 + 4x²) - 5 (4 + 4x²) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 12x² + 12 $x^{4}$ - 20 - 20x² ← collect like terms

= 12 $x^{4}$ - 8x² - 20

The coefficient of the x² term is - 8

The triangles are similar by the SSS (side-side-side) similarity theorem because the sides of the two triangles are in proportion (5/15 = 3/9 = 4/12)

Hope this helps =)

If you are adding two fractions that are both greater than 1/2, what must be true about the sum? Give three examples to support

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The sum must be greater than 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Two fractions that are greater than 1/2 let's say

Example 1

3/4 and 7/8, the sum will be

3/4+7/8 with LCM of denominator as 8 sum= $\frac {(3*2)+7}{8}=\frac {13}{8}=1\frac {5}{8}$ which is more than 1

Example 2

6/9 and 5/8 with the LCM of denominator as 72, the sum= $\frac {(6*8)+(5*9)}{72}=\frac {93}{72}=1\frac {7}{24}$ which is greater than 1

Example 3

8/9 and 7/9 with the LCM of denominator as 9, the sum= $\frac {8+7}{9}=\frac {15}{9}=1\frac {2}{3}$ which is greater than 1
