When simplifying a fraction, whatever you do to the top has to be the same as what you do to the bottom. if nicholas simplified the numerator by 5 he has to simplify his denominator by 5. if did that correctly, 20/5=4 and 30/5=6. however, he can still simplify. taking the new fraction 4/6 you can divide both the numerator and denominator by 2. 4/2=2 and 6/2=3. nicholas would now have the fraction 2/3

Compute the following products. (4x+5)(4x−5) (4x+5)2

bearhunter [10]

(4x+5)(4x-5) is equal to 16x^2+20x-20x-25
The positive and negative 20x cancel out
Leaving you with: 16x^2 - 25
[S/N this is a pattern that shows up a decent amount. Whenever you have something that looks like (x^2-y^2) it factors out to (x+y)(x-y). It might be helpful to remember]

The next one, (4x+5)2, just follows the distributive property. Multiply both components within the parentheses bye the coefficient of 2: 8x+10

Carlos performed a transformation on trapezoid EFGH to create E′F′G′H′, as shown in the figure below:

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

90° clockwise rotation or 270° anticlockwise rotation

Step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)=(y,-x)

E(-6,-4)=E'(-4,6)

F(-4,-4)=F'(-4,4)

G(-2,-6)=G'(-6,2)

H(-7,-7)=H'(-7,7)

Therefore, E prime is (-4,6), F prime is (-4,4), G prime is (-6,2) and H prime is (-7,7).
