How to get a perfect square?</h3>
A perfect square is the product of a number and itself.
As you can see in the example, 16 is a square number. Then let's try to get 16.
To get 16 we can use the difference:
20 - 4
So the first therm needs to be equal to 20, and the second equal to 4.
To write 20 in scientific notation we have:

That’s all it is not really understanding
For the reciprocal, you swap numerator and denominator.
a. The reciprocal of

is

To rationalize the irrational denominator, multiply numerator and denominator by the radical, then simplify.

b.
Slope of a line is calculated by dividing the change in y by the change in the horizontal component, x. That is most commonly known as "rise over run". Now, considering a horizontal line, there is no "rise" because the rate of change in y is zero. Therefore, the slope is zero.
