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:
Explanation with the help of discrete variables and continuous variables.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to tell that which of the following can be an exact number.
This can be done with the approach of discrete and continuous variables.
Discrete variables are the variables that are countable and cannot be expressed in decimal form. They are point estimated.
Continuous variable are the variable that are estimated with the help of an interval. Their values can be expressed with the help of a decimal expansion. They are not countable.
a) Mass of a paper clip, Surface are of dime, Inches in a mile, Ounces in pound, microseconds in a week
Since all mass, area, weight(ounces), time, length(inches) are continuous variable, they can be estimated with the help of an interval. Thus, they can have exact number but not always.
b) Number of pages in a worksheet
Since this is a discrete quantity and it is countable. Thus, it will always have a point estimation and are exact numbers always.
Answer:
Line QR = line BC
Step-by-step explanation:
To prove congruency using the SAS theorem, (SAS = Side Angle Side)
You obviously need 2 sides and 1 angle.
BUT
The ONE angle has to be right between the TWO sides, hence the name: side ANGLE side.
So coming to your problem:
We know angle Q = angle B. And QS=BD
We need one more SIDE. Pick side QR in triangle RQS. Is angle Q in the middle of QR and QS?
Yes it is!
Now find the corresponding side in the other triangle to QR. This is the shortest side, BC.
Check:
Is angle B in the middle of CB and BD?
Yes!!
So you can prove the congruency of these two triangle using the SAS theorem if you know that BC = QR. That’s your answer.
Hope this helped!!!!!
PS let me know if it’s correct!
