The photo printed has length of 6 imams width of 4. A smaller picture is printed the ratio of the new picture to the size of the

Serggg [28]

We know the width of the first picture, is 4
we know the ratio from smaller to larger is 1.5:2

thus $\bf \cfrac{\textit{width of small}}{\textit{width of large}}\qquad 1.5:2\implies \cfrac{1.5}{2}=\cfrac{w}{4}$

solve for "w".

we know the length of the first picture, 6

$\bf \cfrac{\textit{length of small}}{\textit{length of large}}\qquad 1.5:2\implies \cfrac{1.5}{2}=\cfrac{L}{6}
$

solve for "L".

How can i factor this? <br> x^(2n)-2x^(n)+1

Tasya [4]

You can make it easier by replacing x^n with another variable, factoring, then putting x^n back in the end.

Using exponent and algebra rules, rewrite x^2n - 2x^n + 1 as
(x^n)^2 - (2 x x^2) + 1

Then, let x^n = m.

m^2 - 2m + 1

Now factor that: (m - 1)^2

And now put x^n back: (x^n - 1)^2
