What you need to do is look for a common term throughout the expression.

i.e. something that is multiplying everypart of the expression.

In this case the common term is n. This common term goes on the outside the bracket:

n(x-y) = xn - yn

Two similar rectangles have sides in ratio to two thirds what is the ratio of the perimeters?

Theorem: If two similar triangles have a scalar factor a : b, then the ratio of their perimeters is a : bBy the theorem, the ratio of the perimeters of the similar triangles is 2 : 3.For rectangles, perimeter is 2*(L1 + W1). If the second rectangle's sides are scaled by a factor S, then its perimeter is 2*(S*L1 + S*W1) = S*2*(L1 + W1), or the perimeter of the first, multiplied by the same factor S.In general, if an N-sided polygon has sides {x1, x2, x3....,xN}, then its perimeter is x1 + x2 + x3 + ... + xN. If the second similar polygon (with each side (labeled y, with corresponding subscripts) scaled by S, so that y1 = S*x1, etc. The perimeter is y1 + y2 + ... + yN = S*x1 + S*x2 + ... + S*xN = S*(x1 + x2 + ... + xN ),which is the factor S, times the perimeter of the first polygon.

How do you find a function is linear transformation or not?

If the relationship can be written as y = ax + b where a and b are constants then it is a linear transformation. More formally, If f(xn) = yn and yi - yj = a*(xi - xj) for any pair of numbers i and j, then the transformation is linear.
