Answer:

No, Brandon is not correct in making that statement

Step-by-step explanation:

No, Brandon is not correct in making that statement. The absolute value of a number is the total distance between that number and 0. Brandon most likely states this because the absolute value of a negative number such as -5 would actually be the opposite, which is 5. This is not true for the absolute value of a positive such as 5, which instead is actually just 5. Meaning that the absolute value of a positive integer is the same value and NOT the opposite.

Are the figures below similar? Why or why not? Determine whether the triangles shown in the image are similar.
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

B) no, because the corresponding angles are not congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar triangles must have proportional sides, as well as congruent corresponding angles. In this instance, we can see that the angles are not <em>congruent</em>, and so there is no need to solve for proportion.

Which polynomial can be simplified to a difference of squares
Mrrafil [7]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The polynomial that can be simplified to a difference of squares is the second polynomial:

16a^{2}-4a+4a-1=16a^{2}=(4a)^{2}-(1)^{2}=(4-1)(4+1)

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve this problem, we need to look for which of the given quadratic terms given for the different polynomials can be a result of squaring (elevating by two).

So,

Discarding, we have:

The quadratic terms of the given polynomials are:

First=10a^{2}

Second=16a^{2}

Third=25a^{2}

Fourth=24a^{2}

We have that the coefficients of the quadratic terms that can be obtained by squaring are:

16a^{2} =(4a)^{2} \\\\25a^{2} =(5a)^{2}

The other two coefficients are not perfect squares since they can not be obtained by square rooting whole numbers.

So, the first and the fourth polynomial are discarded and cannot be simplified to a difference of squares at least using whole numbers.

Therefore, we need to work with the second and the third polynomial.

For the second polynomial, we have:

16a^{2} -4a+4a-1=16a^{2}=(4a)^{2}-(1)^{2} =(4-1)(4+1)

So, the second polynomial can be simplified to a difference of squares.

For the third polynomial, we have:

25a^{2} +6a-6a+36=16a^{2}+36=(5a)^{2}+(6)^{2}

So, the third polynomial cannot be simplified to a difference of squares since it's a sum of squares.

Hence, the polynomial that can be simplified to a difference of squares is the second polynomial:

16a^{2}-4a+4a-1=16a^{2}=(4a)^{2}-(1)^{2}

14. Write the equation in slope-intercept form that passes through the two points.
nordsb [41]

Answer: y=5x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

If you draw a graph or use a graphing calculator the points and then connect them you will see that the y-intercept is 7 and the slope is 5/1. Slope intercpt  form is y=mx+b. So the equation is y=5x+7.
