1. Rewrite the expression. Use an exponent, rather than repeated multiplication. (–4)(–4)

1 answer:

7 0

You can rewrite the multiplication using properties of the exponents.
We have that if the base is the same, the exponents are added.
For this case, we have:
Base = (- 4)
Exponent = 1
Applying properties of exponents:
(-4) (- 4) = ((- 4) ^ 1) ((- 4) ^ 1) = (- 4) ^ (1 + 1) = (- 4) ^ 2
answer:
the expression is the same as (-4) ^ 2

Simplify by combining like terms 5x+3y+3x

Aliun [14]

Answer:

8x+3y

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find like terms: 5x and 3x share the same constant "x" so you can combine them. There is nothing to combine with the 3y since there is no other term with the constant "y".

2. Rearrange to make it easier to see: 5x+3x+3y

3. Add the 5x and 3x: 8x+3y

Factor. x^2 - 8x +16

galben [10]

This is a perfect square trinomial. All of these special cases take this form which you can identify: a²+2ab+b².

x^2 - 8x +16 equals (x-4)²

answer: (x-4)²
