√144 = 12 which is a positive integer. Thus one set it belongs to is N (natural numbers). It also belongs to Z (integers), Q (rational numbers), R (real numbers), and C (complex numbers) since N is a subset of all of these sets.
For the expressions:
1. Combine like terms
(11x2 + 3x + 19) + (6x2 - 18x - 8) = (11 + 6)x2 + (3 - 18)x + (19 - 8)
= 17x2 - 15x + 11.
2. Same idea as 1.
(13x2 + 6xy - 12y2) - (9x2 - 4xy) = (13 - 9)x2 + (6 - (-4))xy - 12y2
= 4x2 + 10xy - 12y2
3. Use the distributive property a(b+c), and the law of exponents xmxn = xm+n
-2xy(3xy3 - 5xy + 7y2) = -6x2y4 + 10x2y2 - 14xy5
4. Use distributive property. Also apply property of square roots: √(xy) = (√x)(√y)
(11+√3)(4 - √11) = 11(4 - √11) + (√3)(4 - √11) = 44 - 11√11 + 4√3 - √33.
