Answer:

1a (x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y²

1b. (x - y)² = x² - 2xy + y²

2. (x + y)² - (x - y)² = 4xy

3. 4² – 2² = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

1a. Expansion of (x + y)²

(x + y)² = (x + y)(x + y)

(x + y)² = x(x + y) + y(x + y)

(x + y)² = x² + xy + xy + y²

(x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y²

1b. Expansion of (x - y)²

(x - y)² = (x - y)(x - y)

(x - y)² = x(x - y) - y(x - y)

(x - y)² = x² - xy - xy + y²

(x - y)² = x² - 2xy + y²

2. Determination of (x + y)² - (x - y)²

This can be obtained as follow

(x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y²

(x - y)² = x² - 2xy + y²

(x + y)² - (x - y)² = x² + 2xy + y² - (x² - 2xy + y²)

= x² + 2xy + y² - x² + 2xy - y²

= x² - x² + 2xy + 2xy + y² - y²

= 2xy + 2xy

= 4xy

(x + y)² - (x - y)² = 4xy

3. Writing 12 as the difference of two perfect square.

To do this, we shall subtract 12 from a perfect square to obtain a number which has a perfect square root.

We'll begin by 4

4² – 12

16 – 12 = 4

Find the square root of 4

√4 = 2

4 has a square root of 2.

Thus,

4² – 12 = 4

4² – 12 = 2²

Rearrange

4² – 2² = 12

Therefore, 12 as a difference of two perfect square is 4² – 2²

slava [35]

First you had to expanded form.

-4(2a+5)=-8a-20

9a-8a-20

Finally you can also add by similar to elements.

9a-8a=a

a-20

Final answer: \boxed{=a-20}

Hope this helps!

And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day.

Find the value of b in the graph of y=3x+b if it is known that the graph goes through the point: N(0,5)
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

I believe b is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you place the points in the values, you get 5=3(0)+b. When you simplify it, you get 5=b. I really hope this is correct, I apologize if it isn't! I hope this helps! :)
