Let the common multiple be x
<span>3x : 2x </span>
<span>3x = 125 </span>
<span>x = 125/3 </span>

<span>So, B pays 2x = 2 × 125/3 = £250/3 </span>

7. All of the following are perfect square trinomials EXCEPT one. Which is it?

wolverine [178]

Answer:

All answers EXCEPT answer C. are perfect square trinomials.

Step-by-step explanation:

A perfect square trinomial is polynomial that satisfies the following condition:

$(a+b)^{2} = a^{2}+2\cdot a \cdot b + b^{2}$ , $\forall\,a,b\in\mathbb{R}$

Let prove if each option observe this:

a) $4\cdot x^{2} + 12\cdot x\cdot y + 9\cdot y^{2}$

1) $4\cdot x^{2} + 12\cdot x\cdot y + 9\cdot y^{2}$ Given

2) $(2\cdot x)^{2}+ 2\cdot (2\cdot x)\cdot (3\cdot y)+(3\cdot y)^{2}$ Definition of power/Distributive, associative and commutative properties.

3) $a = 2\cdot x$ , $b = 3\cdot y$ Definition of perfect square trinomial/Result.

b) $9\cdot a^{2}-36\cdot a + 36$

1) $9\cdot a^{2}-36\cdot a + 36$ Given.

2) $(3\cdot a)^{2}-2\cdot (3\cdot a)\cdot 6 + 6^{2}$ Definition of power/Distributive, associative and commutative properties.

3) $a = 3\cdot a$ , $b = 6$ Definition of perfect square trinomial/Result.

c) $x\cdot y^{2}-4\cdot x^{2}\cdot y^{2}+4\cdot x^{2}\cdot y^{2}$

1) $x\cdot y^{2}-4\cdot x^{2}\cdot y^{2}+4\cdot x^{2}\cdot y^{2}$ Given

2) $x\cdot y\cdot (1-4\cdot x+4\cdot x)$ Distributive property.

3) $x\cdot y \cdot 1$ Existence of the additive inverse/Modulative property.

4) $x\cdot y$ Modulative property/Result.

d) $a^{2}\cdot b^{2}+4\cdot a^{3}\cdot b + 4\cdot a^{4}$

1) $a^{2}\cdot b^{2}+4\cdot a^{3}\cdot b + 4\cdot a^{4}$ Given

2) $(a\cdot b)^{2}+2\cdot (a\cdot b)\cdot (2\cdot a^{2})+(2\cdot a^{2})$ Definition of power/Distributive, associative and commutative properties.

3) $a = a\cdot b$ , $b = 2\cdot a^{2}$ Definition of perfect square trinomial.

All answers EXCEPT answer C. are perfect square trinomials.

An angle measures 40.2° more than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

vampirchik [111]

<h3>Solving for the measurements of Complementary Angles</h3><h3>Answer:</h3>

$24.9^{\circ}$ and $65.1^{\circ}$

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Recall that Angles that are complementary to each other add up to $90^{\circ}$ .

Let $a$ be the measure of the complementary angle.

If an angle is $40.2^{\circ}$ more than its complementary angle, the measure of that angle is $a +40.2$ . The sum of both angles are expressed $a +(a +40.2)$ but since the have to add to $90$ as they are complementary, $a +(a +40.2) = 90$ .

Solving for $a$ :

$a +(a +40.2) = 90 \\ a +a +40.2 = 90 \\ 2a +40.2 = 90 \\ 2a +40.2 -40.2 = 90 -40.2 \\ 2a = 49.8 \\ \frac{2a}{2} = \frac{49.8}{2} \\ a = 24.9$

Since the other angle measures $a +40.2$ , we can plug in the value of $a$ to find the measure of the angle.

Evaluating $a +40.2$ :

$a +40.2 \\ 24.9 +40.2 \\ 65.1$

The measure of the angles are $24.9^{\circ}$ and $65.1^{\circ}$
