Answer:

\bigg(\frac{2}{3}  {y} \bigg)^{2}

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION

\frac{1}{4}  {x}^{2}  -  \bigg( \frac{2}{3}  \bigg)xy \\  \\  =   \bigg(\frac{1}{2}  {x} \bigg)^{2}  - 2. \bigg(\frac{1}{2}  {x} \bigg)\bigg( \frac{2}{3} y \bigg ) +  \bigg(\frac{2}{3}  {y} \bigg)^{2} \\  \\  = \bigg(\frac{1}{2}  {x}  -  \frac{2}{3} y\bigg)^{2}  \\

To make \red{\bold{\frac{1}{4}  {x}^{2}  -  \bigg( \frac{2}{3}  \bigg)xy}} a perfect square we should add \purple{\bold{\bigg(\frac{2}{3}  {y} \bigg)^{2}}}

Answer:

  • 4/9y^2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • (1/4)x^2-(2/3)xy

<u>Consider the identity:</u>

  • (a - b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2

<u>We can see that:</u>

  • a^2=(1/2x)^2
  • a = (1/2)x
  • 2ab = (2/3)xy

<u>We can work out the value of b:</u>

  • 2ab = (2/3)xy = 2(1/2x)(2/3y)
  • b=(2/3)y

<u>Then we are missing b², what needs to be added:</u>

  • b^2=(2/3y)^2=4/9y^2

How do you Simplify this expression in algebra?<br><br> 9x + 2x (5 + 4) - 2(5x + 4x)
Minchanka [31]

One can solve this by first using order of operations, and then combining like terms.


First is parenthesis


9x + 2x(9) - 2(9x)


Now we do the multiplication


9x + 18x - 18x


Now we combine like terms


9x

Find the balance on a deposit of $455 that earns 4% interest compounded annually for 2 years. $36.40 $491.40 $492.13 $819
STatiana [176]
A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n})^{tn}
A=future amount
P=present amount
r=rate in decimal
n=number of times per year compounded
t=time in years

given
P=455
r=4%=0.04
n=1
t=2

A=455(1+ \frac{0.04}{1})^{(2)(1)}
A=455(1+ 0.04)^{2}
A=455(1.04)^{2}
A=492.128
round
$492.13
