Which of the following correctly displays the distributive property? a. (m × n) × p = m × (n × p)
b. m × 2 = m + m
c. m × n = n × m
d. m × (n + p) = m × n + m × p

answer: the answer is 40.82

step-by-step explanation: 3.14 x 13(or half of 26) to the power of 2

step-by-step explanation:

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct
