Combining the like terms, the simplified polynomials are given as follows:
a) 4x² - 14x + 17
b) -5x² - 20x + 8
<h3>How are polynomials simplified?</h3>
Polynomials are simplified combining the like terms, that is, adding these numbers with the same variable.
Item a:
4(x - 2)(x + 1) - 5(2x - 5)
Applying the distributive property:
4(x² - x - 2) - 10x + 25
4x² - 4x - 8 - 10x + 25
Combining the like terms:
4x² - 4x - 10x - 8 + 25
4x² - 14x + 17
Item b:
-5(x + 2)² + 28
-5(x² + 4x + 4) + 28
-5x² - 20x - 20 + 28
-5x² - 20x + 8

Answer:
2 * 10 ^-4
Step-by-step explanation:
We need the first number to be between 1 and less than 10
.0002
2 * 10 ^ exponent
We move the decimal 4 places to the right. Since we move it to the right the exponent is negative and is the number of places we moved the decimal
2 * 10 ^-4
Answer:
I believe than answer is A make sure tho im only in 6 th grade
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
#1: 10 bags
#2: 5 1/2 pounds
#3: 5 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
for number one you just count all the x
for number two I added all the pounds of the bags
for number 3 (im not sure if my answer was right for this one) theres only 5 x's on 1/2. so I think the answer is 5.
