    RatioIsoceles∆ Sides? (answer format x:y:z√ = option+v)

    Explanation
    The given answer 1:1:√2 represents the ratio of the sides of an isosceles triangle. In an isosceles triangle, two sides are equal in length. Here, the two equal sides have a ratio of 1:1, meaning they are of equal length. The third side, which is not equal to the other two sides, is represented by √2. This indicates that the length of the third side is the square root of 2 times the length of the equal sides.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    Complete the ratioRight∆:3:4:x

    Explanation
    The ratio is given as 3:4:x. To find the value of x, we can use the given information that the ratioRight∆ is equal to 5. Since the ratioRight∆ is the first term in the ratio, we can set up the equation as 3/5 = x/4. Cross-multiplying, we get 3*4 = 5*x, which simplifies to 12 = 5x. Dividing both sides by 5, we find that x = 12/5 = 2.4. Therefore, the value of x is 2.4.

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 

    0!=?

    Explanation
    The question is asking for the value of 0! (0 factorial). By definition, the factorial of a number is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to that number. In this case, since there are no positive integers less than or equal to 0, the product is empty. However, by convention, 0! is defined to be equal to 1. This is because it simplifies certain mathematical formulas and provides consistency in calculations. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    1!=?

    Explanation

    Rate this question:

  • 33. 

    4!=?

    Explanation
    The question is asking for the value of 4! (4 factorial). The exclamation mark denotes factorial, which means multiplying a number by all the positive integers less than it down to 1. In this case, 4! is equal to 4 x 3 x 2 x 1, which equals 24.

    Rate this question:

  • 34. 

    5!=?

    Explanation

    Rate this question:

  • 36. 

    7!=?

    Explanation
    The given answer, 5040, is the factorial of 7. Factorial is a mathematical operation that multiplies a number by all positive integers less than it down to 1. In this case, 7! is calculated as 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1, which equals 5040.

    Rate this question:

  • 37. 

    Factor (x+y)2(Note: x2 = x2)

    Explanation
    The given expression is asking for the factor of (x+y) squared. When we expand (x+y) squared, we get x squared plus 2xy plus y squared. Therefore, the correct answer is x squared plus 2xy plus y squared.

    Rate this question:

  • 38. 

    Factor (x-y)2(Note: x2 = x2)

    Explanation
    The expression (x-y)2 can be expanded using the formula for the square of a binomial, which is (a-b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2. In this case, a = x and b = y. Therefore, the expanded form of (x-y)2 is x2 - 2xy + y2.

    Rate this question:

  • 39. 

    Factor (x+y)(x+y)(Note: x2 = x2)

    Explanation
    The given expression is a product of two binomials, (x+y) and (x+y). When we multiply these two binomials, we use the distributive property to multiply each term of the first binomial by each term of the second binomial. In this case, we have (x+y) multiplied by (x+y), which gives us x^2 + 2xy + y^2. Therefore, the correct answer is x^2 + 2xy + y^2.

    Rate this question:

  • 40. 

    Factor (x+y)(x-y)(Note: x2 = x2)

    Explanation
    The given expression is a product of three factors: (x+y), (x-y), and (x^2-y^2). By using the identity for the difference of squares, we can simplify the expression to x^2-y^2. Therefore, the correct answer is x^2-y^2.
