What is the simplified expression for 3 a squared + 9 a b + 5 minus 4 a squared minus 4 a b + 3? Negative a squared + 5 a b + 8 Negative a squared minus 13 a b + 5 + 3 a squared + 5 a b + 8 a squared minus 13 a b + 5 + 3

The answer is option 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to simplify the expressions, you have to collect like terms :

3a² + 9ab + 5 - 4a² - 4ab + 3

= (3a² - 4a²) + (9ab - 4ab) + (5 + 3)

= -a² + 5ab + 8

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
