3. The area of a rectangular athletic field is represented by the expression 98y⁷+36y³-14 square meters. Write an algebraic expression to represent one possible set of dimensions (in the sense “length times width”) of the athletic field. Include correct units with your solution
4. Use the “difference of squares” rule to factor the following expression:64y²-9z².(multiply choice just need the answer)
5. Factor the expression36a²-60ab+25b² into a product of binomials.(multiply choice just need the answer)
6. Factor the expression16x²-72xy+81y² into a product of binomials
7. The area of a rectangular athletic field is represented by the expression9y²-25z² square meters. Write an algebraic expression to represent one possible set of dimensions (in the sense “length times width”) of the athletic field. Include correct units with your solution.
8. Andrew factored the expression-6x³+9x²-3x as-3x (2x²-3x-1). But when Melissa applied the distributive law and multiplied out, -3x (2x²-3x-1) she got; -6x³+9x²-3x thus, Andrew’s solution does not appear to check. Why is that? Please help Andrew to understand this better. Explain your reasoning and correctly factor the original expression, if possible. If the expression is prime, so state
9. Factor the following expression completely:
   70w³ – 125w² + 30w

The three most significant are:

1-Gender inequality: Defination,and why it matters to you

2-Semiotic analysis: Defination,and why it matter to you

3-Femininity:Defination and why it matters to you

The text book authors discuss “Effectiveness and Efficiency”. In your essay you are to take a position as to which, management effectiveness or management efficiency, is MORE critical to organizational success. There is obviously no “correct” answer. You should define the terms and then take a position, if I “HAD” to choose one over the other, which would it be. You MUST defend your selection.
