Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

y^2 - 6y + 9 can be changed correctly into y^2 - 2(y)(3) + 3^2.

Up to here, it's correct.

The right side above shows a polynomial that is the square of a binomial.

It factors into (y - 3)^2.

The correct factorization is (y - 3)^2.

The incorrect factorization of the student's solution is the product of a sum and difference.

The product of a sum and a difference is the correct factorization for a difference of squares.

For example, y^2 - 9 is the same as y^2 - 3^2 and is a difference of squares.

It factors into (y + 3)(y - 3), a product of a sum and a difference.

PLEASE HELP ME LIKE RN THIS IS 7TH GRADE MATH BTW
natulia [17]

Answer:

for the third one 2/5 for the fourth one 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first one, I put 10/25 as a fraction and found the least common multiple, which is 5. I then simplified, and got 2/5.

For the second one, I chose 3/5 because there are 3 friends whose names end in a, and 5 friends whose names do not end in a. My theory was that I took the friends and divided them into 2 groups by most common.

hope this helps if it doesn't I will correct myself :)
