Step-by-step solution

7 steps

1. Simplify 2ab−ab2−7ab+a2b+5ab22ab - ab^2 - 7ab + a^2b + 5ab^2.

  1. Identify and group like terms.

    (2ab−7ab)+(−ab2+5ab2)+a2b(2ab - 7ab) + (-ab^2 + 5ab^2) + a^2b
  2. Combine the like terms.

    −5ab+4ab2+a2b-5ab + 4ab^2 + a^2b

    The simplified expression is −5ab+4ab2+a2b\boxed{-5ab + 4ab^2 + a^2b}.

    2. Evaluate 912+19^{\frac{1}{2}} + 1.

  3. Evaluate the term with the fractional exponent.

    Recall that x12=xx^{\frac{1}{2}} = \sqrt{x}.

    912=9=39^{\frac{1}{2}} = \sqrt{9} = 3
  4. Add 1 to the result.

    3+1=43 + 1 = 4

    The evaluated value is 4\boxed{4}.

    3. Solve the equation x2−2x=0x^2 - 2x = 0.

  5. Factor out the common term xx from the equation.

    x(x−2)=0x(x - 2) = 0
  6. Set each factor equal to zero to find the possible values of xx.

    x=0orx−2=0x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x - 2 = 0
  7. Solve for xx in the second equation.

    x−2=0  ⟹  x=2x - 2 = 0 \implies x = 2

    The solutions are x=0orx=2\boxed{x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 2}.

    4. Using set notation, describe the shaded region in the diagram below.

    The shaded region includes all elements that are in set A or in set B (or both). This is known as the union of sets A and B.
    The shaded region is described by A∪B\boxed{A \cup B}.
