Common questions

The factored form of 4a^2 - 20ab + 9b^2 is (2a - 3b)^2. To verify the factorization, expand (2a - 3b)(2a - 3b): 4a^2 - 12ab + 9b^2, which confirms the original expression .

Compute powers and simplify independently: (-2xy)^3 = -8x^3y^3, (3x^3y)^2 = 9x^6y^2. Multiply these results for -72x^9y^5, ensuring accurate handling of negative and applying laws of exponents .

Rewrite (2x-3y)^-2 as 1/(2x-3y)^2 by inverting base exponentiated values. Verify by ensuring that inversions and equivalences obey fundamental exponent laws .

The expression 9x^2 - 25y^2 can be factored using the difference of squares method as (3x + 5y)(3x - 5y). This method identifies terms as square roots and applies the identity a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b).

Aaron incorrectly factored by assuming a as a common factor. Correct simplification into (a−1)(a+1)/a(a –1) reduces to (a+1)/a, considering cancellations only valid when properly factoring each term and acknowledging restrictions .

Transform powers of x and y from negative to positive by applying reciprocal rules. The simplification goes to y^2/10x^4, ensuring the expression remains equivalent while obeying the principles of positive exponents .

James made a mistake in his simplification by cancelling out (x - 2) incorrectly. The correct factorization yields (x+4)/(x+2), and cancelling (x - 2) without considering restrictions from the original denominator can lead to incorrect solutions .

Applying the formula (a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2, expand (0.3y + 0.7)^2 into 0.09y^2 + 0.42y + 0.49 by individually squaring and doubling terms, preserving coefficients and meticulously calculating each component .

Given the equation x(x + length) = x^2 + 10x, equating coefficients indicates that the length segment is x + 10. Thus, the length is x + 10, based on standard form for computing dimensions .

The expression 81x^2 - 90x + 25y^2 is a perfect square trinomial, identified by its form matching (9x - 5y)^2, which when expanded retains its identity. Check consistency with factors and coefficients matching squared constituent terms .
