Answer:
RM / RP = 10/18 = 5/9
RN/RQ = 7/21 = 1/3
Since the two ratios are not the same, triangle PRQ is not similar to triangle MRN.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The correct statements are
The GCF of the coefficients is correct.
The variable c is not common to all terms, so a power of c should not have been factored out.
David applied the distributive property.
Step-by-step explanation:
GCF = Greatest common factor
1) GCF of coefficients : (80,32,48)
80 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
GCF of coefficients : (80,32,48) is 16.
2) GCF of variables :(
)
= b × b × b × b
= b × b
=b × b × b × b
GCF of variables :(
) is 
3) GCF of
and c: c is not the GCF of the polynomial. The variable c is not common to all terms, so a power of c should not have been factored out.
4) 
David applied the distributive property.
You could actually find the compositions and thus have something to compare. You haven't shared the list of possible answer choices.
(f+g)(x) = 5x - 3 + x + 4 = 6x + 1
(f-g)(x) = 5x - 3 - x - 4 = 4x - 7
(f*g)(x) = (5x-3)((x+4) = 5x^2 + 20x - 3x - 12 = 5x^2 + 17x - 12
There are also the quotient (f/g)(x) and the compositions f(g(x)) and g(f(x)).
WRite them out.
Then you could arbitrarily select x values, such as 2, 10, etc., subst. them into each composition and determine which output is greatest.
Answer:
ANSWER IS B
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 3 = 3x + 1
5x - 3x = 1 + 3
2x = 4
x = 4/2
x = 2
