Answer:

A) a^2 + a

Step-by-step explanation:

So the problem says "sum" which means you have to add the expressions

(a^2) - 1 and a+1

Work:

((a^2) - 1) + (a + 1)

We can simplify only the constants

(a^2) + a + 1 - 1

(a^2) + a

so the answer is A

Answer: A) $a^{2}$ + a

add the two equations together to get A.

the ones cancel eachother out and you cant add $a^{2}$ to a

Find the coordinates of the points that are 5 units away from the origin and have an x-coordinate equal to 4.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(4, 3 ) and (4, - 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

A distance of 5 units from the origin represents the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides 3- 4 - 5

If the x-coordinate is 4 then the y-coordinate is | 3 | = ± 3

the coordinates are (4, 3 ) and (4, - 3 )

In the diagram, AE = 2AC and ∠BAC ≅ ∠DAE. What additional information is necessary to prove that ΔABC is similar to ΔADE, using

ss7ja [257]

Since you want to use the SAS theorem, you must find sides that are either side of angles BAC and DAE. You have already made use of sides AE and AC, so the other sides you need to choose are AB and AD. The appropriate relationship for similarity is ...

... AD = 2AB

since you want the sides of triangle ADE to be twice then length of those in triangle ABC.

The system crosses at the point (3, 4). How many solutions will the system have?

vagabundo [1.1K]

For this case suppose that we have a linear system of equations of the form:
ax + by = c
dx + ey = f
The solution of the system is an ordered pair of the form:
(x, y)
That is, both lines intersect at a point.
The point of intersection in this case is:
(3, 4)
Therefore, the system has one solution.
Answer
the system will have:
one solution

kkurt [141]

Answer:

A. $=(9x-12)^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to determine whether the polynomial $81x^2-216x+144$ can be factored into perfect squares. If so, factor the polynomial. Otherwise, select that it cannot be factored into a perfect square.
