Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the expression:

And we wish to factor it.
First, let's make a substitution. Let's let u be equal to x². Therefore, our expression is now:

This is a technique called quadratic u-substitution. Now, we can factor in this form.
We can use the numbers -3 and -2. So:

For the first two terms, factor out a u.
For the last two terms, factor out a -3. So:

Grouping:

Now, substitute back the x² for u:

And this is the simplest form.
And we're done!
Sorry but u should write ur expression so i can solve it....
<u><em>Answers:</em></u>
The corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent
The image is a reduction of the pre-image
Neither the dilation nor the rotation change the shape of the triangle
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>For shapes to be similar:</u>
1- there should be a ratio between the sides
2- angles in first shape should be congruent to angles in second shape
Now, a scale factor of 0.2 means that the sides of the image are 0.2 of the length of the original shape. However, angles are not changes
<u>Let's check the choices:</u>
<u>1- </u><span><u>The corresponding sides of the triangles are congruent:</u>
This option is incorrect as dilation changes the lengths of the sides
<u>2- </u></span><span><u>The corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent:</u>
This option is correct as neither dilation nor rotation alters the measures of the angles
<u>3- </u></span><span><u>The corresponding sides of the image are 5 times as long as those of the pre-image:</u>
This option is incorrect as the sides of the image are only 0.2 times as long as those of the pre-image
<u>4- </u></span><span><u>The image is a reduction of the pre-image:</u>
This option is correct as the sides of the image are 0.2 times those of the pre-image which means that the shape is reduced
<u>5- </u></span><span><u>Neither the dilation nor the rotation change the shape of the triangle:</u>
This option is correct as both dilation and rotation are rigid transformations that do not alter the shape of the triangle (a triangle remains a triangle only with different side lengths)
<u>6- </u></span><u>The rotation reduces the size of the triangle:</u>
This option is incorrect as rotation does not alter the size of the shape. It only changes its position
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
2,850
Step-by-step explanation:
4.25 x 9 = 38.25
4.25 x 13 = 55.25
4.25 x 12 = 51
13.70 x 92 = 1260.4
3.28 x 130 = 426.4
8.06 x 126 = 1015.56
all totals would equal 2,846.86, which to the nearest would be $2,850
