Combining the like terms, the simplified polynomials are given as follows:
a) 4x² - 14x + 17
b) -5x² - 20x + 8
<h3>How are polynomials simplified?</h3>
Polynomials are simplified combining the like terms, that is, adding these numbers with the same variable.
Item a:
4(x - 2)(x + 1) - 5(2x - 5)
Applying the distributive property:
4(x² - x - 2) - 10x + 25
4x² - 4x - 8 - 10x + 25
Combining the like terms:
4x² - 4x - 10x - 8 + 25
4x² - 14x + 17
Item b:
-5(x + 2)² + 28
-5(x² + 4x + 4) + 28
-5x² - 20x - 20 + 28
-5x² - 20x + 8

Answer:
(6,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Midpoint=((x1+x2)/2 ,(y1+y2)/2)
((10+2)/2 ,(7+1)/2)
(6,4)
x1=10
x2=2
y1=2
y2=1
Answer:
Because it is a mixed fraction and it should be renamed in order to solve your problem, for the other one CAN NOT be converted into a mixed fraction.
1.23 is the correct answer
