Yes they are equivalent expressions. If you take the z to the power of two, and subtract that from the other z to the power of two, it is zero. So you are left with four which is the answer
Answer: See below
Step-by-step explanation:
27. -(a-3)
28. (b-1)(b+3)
29. (c+4)(c+5)
30. d(d+5)
31. -(3/4)(2e-5)
Sorry - I don't have time to enter the details. Look for areas where the expressions can be factored in a manner that forms as many equivalent expressions in both the numerator and denominator.
For example: In problem 30:
(5d-20)/(d^2+d-20) * [??]/20d = 1/4
Factor:
<u>(5(d-4))</u> <u>d(d+5)</u> = 1/4
(d-4)(d+5<u>)</u> 20d
The (d-4), d+5, and d terms cancel, leaving
5/20 = 1/4
It is 101,269 that is the answer for your quistion
