<h3>Answer: False</h3>

==============================================

Explanation:

I'm assuming you meant to type out

(y-2)^2 = y^2-6y+4

This equation is not true for all real numbers because the left hand side expands out like so

(y-2)^2

(y-2)(y-2)

x(y-2) .... let x = y-2

xy-2x

y(x)-2(x)

y(y-2)-2(y-2) ... replace x with y-2

y^2-2y-2y+4

y^2-4y+4

So if the claim was (y-2)^2 = y^2-4y+4, then the claim would be true. However, the right hand side we're given doesn't match up with y^2-4y+4

--------------------------

Another approach is to pick some y value such as y = 2 to find that

(y-2)^2 = y^2-6y+4

(2-2)^2 = 2^2 - 6(2) + 4 .... plug in y = 2

0^2 = 2^2 - 6(2) + 4

0 = 4 - 6(2) + 4

0 = 4 - 12 + 4

0 = -4

We get a false statement. This is one counterexample showing the given equation is not true for all values of y.

____ [38]
The problem consists in finding the new length of a running trail knowing the original length and the extension required. So the new length will be equal to original length + extension. New length = 2.826 miles + 1.46 miles = 2.826 miles + 1. 460 miles (I added a 0 in the place of the thousandths for the second summand to make clear the sumation) = 4.286 miles. Then<span> the answer is 4.286 miles.</span>
