(5 points) Part B: The area of a rectangle is (81x2 − 4y2) square units. Determine the dimensions of the rectangle by factoring the area expression completely. Show your work. (5 points)

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

16x^2 − 8x + 1

(4x)^2 -8x +1

Factor

This is a perfect square trinomial

a^2 -2ab +b^2 = (a-b)(a-b)

(4x)^2 -8x +1 = (4x-1) (4x-1)

The area of a square is given by

A = s^2

(4x-1) ^2 = s^2

4x-1 = s

The side length is 4x-1

(81x^2 − 4y^2)

(9x)^2 - (2y)^2

This is the difference of squares

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b) (a+b)

(9x-2) (9x+2)

The area of a rectangle is

A = l*w

(81x^2 − 4y^2)  = (9x-2) (9x+2)

The dimensions are (9x-2) (9x+2)

step-by-step explanation: h: (- 3, 6)

m: (1, - 2)

o: (7, 6)

r: (- 9, - 2)

midpoint of hm: (- 1, 2)

midpoint of or: (- 1, 2)

therefore, b is the midpoint of both diagonals bisect each other !

to prove the diagonals are perpendicular, show that the product of the slopes = - 1

thus, the first answer choice, y = sec x, is the correct one
