✔ 最佳答案
1)
8 - 2x^8 - x^9 - 5x^4
= -x^9 - 2x^8 - 5x^4 + 8 (in descending order)

= = = = = = = =

2)
100 = 2^2 x 5^2
(answer a)

= = = = = = = =

3)
-8x^2 = 40x
-8x^2 - 40x = 0
(-8x^2 - 40x)/-8 = 0/-8
x^2 + 5x = 0
x(x + 5) = 0

x = 0

x + 5 = 0
x = -5

∴ x = -5 , 0
(answer c)

= = = = = = = =

4)
8xy = 2^3 * x * y
32x^3y = 2^5 * x^3 * y
----------------------------
The GCF of 8xy , 32x^3y is:
2^3 * x * y
= 8xy
(answer b)

1) You answered correctly
2) You answered correctly
3) -8x^2 = 40x
Divide both sides by 8
-x^2 = 5x
Or, x^2 = -5x
Or, x^2 + 5x = 0
Or, x(x + 5) = 0
Or, x = 0, x + 5=0
Or, x = 0,-5
Ans: (c)

4) GCF is 8xy because 8xy divides 32x^3y
32x^3y/8xy = 4x^2
Ans: (b)

Wow is algebra really that hard? Do your teachers suck or did you fall asleep in class. Because both of that happened to me and I still had a relatively easy time.
