Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

The expression is equivalent, but the term is not completely factored.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : a student factors to

We have to choose the correct statement about from the given options.

Given is factored to

Consider

Using algebraic identity,

comparing and b = 4, we have,

Thus, the factorization is equivalent but we can simplify it further also, as

Using algebraic identity,

Thus,

Can be written as

Thus, the expression is equivalent, but the term is not completely factored.

Option (b) is correct.

7) Answer = $-24x^8y^{11}$

$\left(8x^4y^2\right)\left(-3x^4y^9\right)$

$=-8x^4y^2\cdot \:3x^4y^9$

$=-24x^4y^2x^4y^9$

$=-24x^8y^2y^9$

$=-24x^8y^{11}$

8) Answer = $-30y^6$

$2y\left(-5\right)y^2\cdot \:3y^3$

$=-30yy^2y^3$

$=-30y^{1+2+3}$

$=-30y^6$

9) Answer = $-6x^4y^5$

$\left(-2xy\right)\left(xy\right)\left(3x^2y^3\right)$

$=-2xyxy\cdot \:3x^2y^3$

$=-6xyxyx^2y^3$

$=-6x^4yyy^3$

$=-6x^4y^5$

A wire is attached at the top of a 500 ft vertical antenna and is staked in the ground 1200 ft from the base of the antenna. how

Pie

A^2 + b^2 = c^2
(500)^2 + (1200)^2 = c^2
1,690,000 = c^2
take the square root of 1,690,000
Answer is 1,300 feet
