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:
3 factors ; 18 total conditions
Step-by-step explanation:
The study focuses on the 3 factirs which impacts life satisfaction. Thses factors are : Smoking ; Drinking and Partying and they constitute the 3 different factor variables in the study.
For each factor variable, each has a number of different conditions ;
For smoking : 2 conditions (smoking and not smoking)
Drinking : 3 conditions (no alcohol, 1 / day ; several per day)
Partying : 3 conditions (no partying, 1 hour of partying / day, 2 hours of partying / day)
Total number of conditions :
(2 * 3 * 3) = 18 conditions
