No. It is not. Only what's inside counts.
Answer:Find the distance between the parallel lines m and n whose equations are y = x + 4 and y = x - 6, respectively.
There are several ways to do this...here's one
Let (0, 4) be a point on the first line
Then.......a line with a negative reciprocal slope going through this point will have the equation :
y = -x + 4........so......we can find the intersection of this line with y = x - 6....set both equations equal
-x + 4 = x - 6 add x, 6 to both sides
10 = 2x divide both sides by 2
5 = x
So...using -x + 4, the y value at intersection = -1.......
So...we just need to find the distance from (0,4) to ( 5, -1) =
√[ (5)^2 + (4 + 1)^2 ] = 5√2 ≈ 7.07 units
Here's a pic....AB is the distance with A = (0,4) and B = (5, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
<span> (x + 3) • (x - 12)
</span>
The first term is, <span> <span>x2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -9x </span> its coefficient is <span> -9 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> -36 </span>
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> <span> 1</span> • -36 = -36</span>
Step-2 : Find two factors of -36 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is <span> -9 </span>.
<span><span> -36 + 1 = -35</span><span> -18 + 2 = -16</span><span> -12 + 3 = -9 That's it</span></span>
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -12 and 3
<span>x2 - 12x</span> + 3x - 36
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-12)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (x-12)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+3) • (x-12)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :<span> (x + 3) • (x - 12)</span>

Answer: 5/6</h3>
Apply the square root to 25/36, which is the same as square rooting each piece of the fraction
sqrt(25) = 5
sqrt(36) = 6
Put another way, you can think of it in reverse:
(5/6)^2 = (5/6)*(5/6) = (5*5)/(6*6) = (5^2)/(6^2) = 25/36
