Answer:
Explanation:
To simplify a polynomial, we have to do two things: 1) combine like terms, and 2) rearrange the terms so that they're written in descending order of exponent.
First, we combine like terms, which requires us to identify the terms that can be added or subtracted from each other. Like terms always have the same variable (with the same exponent) attached to them. For example, you can add 1 "x-squared" to 2 "x-squareds" and get 3 "x-squareds", but 1 "x-squared" plus an "x" can't be combined because they're not like terms.
Let's identify some like terms below.
f(x)=−4x+3x2−7+9x−12x2−5x4
Here you can see that -4x and 9x are like terms. When we combine (add) -4x and 9x, we get 5x. So let's write 5x instead:
f(x)=5x+3x2−7−12x2−5x4
Let's do the same thing with the x-squared terms:
f(x)=5x+3x2−7−12x2−5x4
f(x)=5x−9x2−7−5x4
Now there are no like terms left. Our last step is to organize the terms so that x is written in descending power:
f(x)=−5x4−9x2+5x−7

The missing side of the triangles are 5, 16.92, 7 and 5 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Use the Pythagoras Theorem to find the missing sides.
a² + b² = c²
In the first triangle, a = 3, b = 4.
c² = 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25
⇒ c = 5
∴ Missing side is 5
In the second triangle, a = 15, b = 8
c² = 15² + 8² = 225 + 64 = 289
⇒ c = 16.92
Missing side is 16.92
In the third triangle, b = 24, c = 25
a² = c² - b²
a² = 25² - 24² = 625 - 576 = 49
⇒ a = 7
Missing side is 7
In the fourth triangle, a = 12, c = 13
b² = c² - a²
b² = 13² - 12² = 169 - 144 = 25
⇒ b = 5
Missing side is 5
Answer: 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the given values into the expression
b²(a - 2c)
= (- 4)²(3 - 2(- 1))
= 16(3 + 2)
= 16 × 5
= 80
Pre Image having vertices : △ABC with vertices A(−5, −4), B(−7, 3), C(3, −2)
Image having vertices : △A′B′C′ with vertices A′(−3.75, −3), B′(−5.25, 2.25), C′(2.25, −1.5).
As, Size of Preimage > Size of image
So, 0<Dilation Factor <1
When a triangle is dilated , the preimage and image are similar to each other .
Scale factor can be get through by finding the ratio of any of corresponding sides of triangle.

So, Scale Factor of Dilation =
