Answer:

(x- \frac{2}{5})^{2} = x^2 -\frac{4}{5}x + \frac{4}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

You have two methods to expand this binomial.

Method 1  

If you have the expression:

(x- \frac{2}{5})^{2}

You can write the expression it in the following way:

(x-\frac{2}{5})^{2}=(x-\frac{2}{5})(x-\frac{2}{5})

Then, apply the distributive property:

(x-\frac{2}{5})(x-\frac{2}{5}) = x^2 -\frac{2}{5}x -\frac{2}{5}x+ (\frac{2}{5})\frac{2}{5}

Simplify the expression:

(x-\frac{2}{5})^2= x^2 -\frac{4}{5}x+ (\frac{4}{25})

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Method 2

For any expression of the form:

(a-b)^2

Its expanded form will be:

(a-b)^2= a^2 -2ab + b^2

If

a = x

b =\frac{2}{5}

(x- \frac{2}{5})^{2} = x^2 - 2x\frac{2}{5} + (\frac{2}{5})^2

(x- \frac{2}{5})^{2} = x^2 -\frac{4}{5}x + \frac{4}{25}

Leanne Raymond Montel and Emily body gift for their soccer coach the total cost of the gift including tax was $55.80 Montel paid
Flauer [41]

Solution: The total cost of the gift including the tax = $55.80

The amount paid by Montel = $14

The amount paid by Raymond is

\frac{1}{3} \times 55.80

18.6

Therefore, Raymond paid $18.6

The amount paid by Emily is

25% of 55.80

0.25 \times 55.80 = 13.95

Therefore, Emily paid $13.95

We also know that the remaining amount is paid by Leanne.

Therefore, the remaining amount is:

Total amount - Amount paid by Montel, Raymond and Emily

55.80 -(14+18.6+13.95)

55.80 - 46.55

9.25

The amount paid by Leanne is $9.25

We clearly see, Raymond has paid $18.6, which is the greatest part of the cost $55.80
