Answer:

-(x - 4)^2

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1.

-x^2 + 8x - 16 =

First, factor -1 out of all terms. It can be written as simply a negative sign to the left of parentheses.

= -(x^2 - 8x + 16)

Now we factor the trinomial. We are told it is the square of a binomial.

x^2 is the square of x. 16 is the square of 4 and of -4. Since the middle term is negative, as in -8x, we need -4.

= -(x - 4)^2

Problem 2.

0.48xy + 36y^2 + 0.16x^2 =

First, rearrange the terms in order: x^2, xy, y^2.

= 0.16x^2 + 0.48xy + 36y^2

All terms are positive, so we only need the positive square roots.

The first term of the binomial is the square root of 0.16x^2, so it is 0.4x.

The second term of the binomial is the square root of 36y^2, so it is 6y.

= (0.4x + 6y)^2

As you pointed out, this gives 0.16x^2 + 4.8xy + 36x^2, which is not the original trinomial. The given trinomial is not the square of a binomial, and the problem is incorrect.

Factor 0.16x^2 + 0.48xy + 36y^2

0.16x^2 + 0.48xy + 36y^2 =

= 0.16(x^2 + 3xy + 225y^2)

For x^2 + 3xy + 225y^2 to factor as the square of a binomial, the middle term would have to be 2 * x * 15y = 30xy. The middle term is 1/10 of that, 3xy. This trinomial is not the square of a binomial.

Takashi Caldwell has health insurance that pays 80 percent of coverage charges after a $150 deductible. She received a statement
liq [111]

Subtract the deductible from the total:

350 - 150 = 200

Takashi then needs to pay 20% of what is left.

200 x 0.20 = 40

Takashi has to pay the 150 deductible plus 40 for a total of $190
