Answer:
Overall vertical is visually better, if done correctly
it forces you to "line up" all the common exponents.
The disadvantage is that it usually requires re-writing the problem, and it takes up space.
most problems are presented horizontally, that becomes the issue to locate the common exponents.
in both cases the biggest issue is people forget
that when subtracting "subtracting a negative is like adding a positive"
-5x - (-8x) = 3x [that is a positive 3x]
or:
-7x
- - 10x
-------------
3x
everyone misses those eventually so you have to watch out for that in both methods
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer for leading coefficient should be 1.
First you'll need to understad what Perpendicular Bisector Theorem is:
The Perpendicular Bisector Theorem states that a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment if and only if it is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.
so X=45 degrees
and Y= 90 degrees
I'm not sure about X
but I hope this helps
:D
