Answer:
- sum: 3x² -4x -4
- product: (x -2)(3x +2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The areas of four regions are given. We can simply add them to find the sum. To express them as a product, we need to look at common factors.
<h3>Sum</h3>
The total of the given area expressions is ...
3x² +2x -6x -4 = 3x² -4x -4 . . . . sum
<h3>Product</h3>
Extending the table to show common factors of each row and column, we have ...

Since each cell of the table is the product of the corresponding common factors, we can write the area as the product ...
(x -2)(3x +2) . . . . product
Answer:
(a^8)/(b^9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Two rules of exponents come into play.
(a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)
a^-b = 1/a^b
__
Applying the first rule, we have ...
(a^3)/(a^-5) × (b^-2)/(b^7) = a^(3 -(-5)) × b^(-2 -7) = a^8 × b^-9
Applying the second rule gives the simplified form ...
= (a^8)/(b^9)
Am I supposed to be figuring out what the length of the two other legs are?
Triangle has 3 angles, A, B, C. The total interior angle of a triangle is 180.
180 = A + B + C
180 = 72 + B + 113
180 = B + 185
B = 180 - 185
B = -5
This only proves that the figure is not a triangle because angle B is negative.
