Answer:
1. Simplify: (4x2 - 2x) - (-5x2 - 8x).
Solution:
(4x2 - 2x) - (-5x2 - 8x)
= 4x2 - 2x + 5x2 + 8x.
= 4x2 + 5x2 - 2x + 8x.
= 9x2 + 6x.
= 3x(3x + 2).
Answer: 3x(3x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes. If the diagonals bisect the angles, the quadrilateral is always a parallelogram, specifically, a rhombus.
Consider quadrilateral ABCD. If diagonal AC bisects angles A and C, then ΔACB is congruent to ΔACD (ASA). Hence AB=AD and BC=CD (CPCTC).
Likewise, if diagonal BD bisects angles B and D, triangles BDA and BDC are congruent, thus AB=BC and AD=CD. (CPCTC again). Now, we have AB=BC=CD=AD, so the figure is a rhombus, hence a parallelogram.
