Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If we where to simplfy the 4(5d - 4) it would be 20d - 16 and that is equivalent to 20d - 16.

Answer: Yes they are equivalent

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

The reason why is because

4(5d - 4) = 4*(5d) + 4(-4) = 20d - 16

You multiply the outer term 4 by each term inside the parenthesis

4 times 5d = 4*5d = 20d

4 times -4 = 4*(-4) = -16

I'm using the distributive property.

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

Alternatively, you can start with 20d - 16 and factor out the GCF 4. Divide each term by 4 to get

20d/4 = 5d

-16/4 = -4

So after dividing each term of 20d-16 by 4, we get 5d-4 and the 4 will be pulled out to say 20d - 16 = 4(5d - 4)

As you can probably see, factoring is just thinking of distributing in reverse. Instead of multiplying each term by the same number, you divide each term by the same number. You can distribute the 4 back in to check your factorization.

Solve the equation for theta (0°≤theta&lt;360°)<br><br>2 sin theta = 1​
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

30 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out theta is using a bit of simple trigonometry.

2sin(theta) = 1

= sin(theta) = 0.5

Using arcsin (sin^-1) we can isolate x

x = arcsin(0.5)

x = 30
