Question

HELP MEH PLS! Will mark brainliest :3 Simplify it- don't solve it. Show your work too pls!

Answer 1

Answer:  $\frac{1}{25}k^2$

This is equivalent to $\frac{k^2}{25}$

In decimal form, this is equivalent to 0.04k^2

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

Work Shown:

We have the two pieces 1/5 and k, all in the parenthesis being squared.

Square each piece

• Squaring the piece 1/5 leads to (1/5)^2 = 1/25, since 5^2 = 25
• squaring the k value leads to k^2

So overall, we end up with the answer $\frac{1}{25}k^2$ which is equivalent to saying $\frac{k^2}{25}$

In decimal form, this is 0.04k^2 because 1/25 = 0.04

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$(1/5k)^2=1/5^2*k^2$

$1/25*k^2=\frac{k^2}{25}$
