Answer:

Kevin is going to be able to have enough money for the concert the fastest

Philip needs at least 4 weeks

Kevin needs at least 3 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Philip</u>

  • $8.75/hour * 6 hours/weekend * 1 weekend/week = $52.5/week
  • $45 saved

Let's call x to the number of weeks Philip needs to reach $225.

52.5*x + 45 = 225

52.5*x = 225 - 45

x = 180/52.5

x = 3.43

He needs at least 4 weeks

<u>Kevin</u>

  • 3 hours/day * $7.5/hour *3 days/week = $67.5/week
  • $30 saved

Let's call y to the number of weeks Kevin needs to reach $225.

67.5*y + 30 = 225

67.5*y = 225 - 30

y = 195/67.5

y = 2.9

He needs at least 3 weeks

What is the product of the polynomials below? (4x^2-2x-4)(2x+4)
Travka [436]

Answer:  8x³ + 12x² - 16x - 16

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

  (4x² - 2x - 4)(2x + 4)

= (2x + 4)(4x² - 2x - 4)

= 2x(4x² - 2x - 4)  +  4(4x² - 2x - 4)

=   8x³ - 4x² - 8x   +  16x² - 8x - 16

=   8x³ + (-4x² + 16x²) + (-8x - 8x) - 16

=   8x³ + 12x² - 16x - 16

Alex wants to sew a pillow in the shape below. How many square yards of fabric are needed to sew the pillow? Fabric is only sold
r-ruslan [8.4K]

The shape is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

2.6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached, the diameter of the inner semi - circle is 0.5 yards while the length of each side of the pillow is 0.2 yards.

Thus, for us to find the length of the seam which is along the edges of the pillow, we will calculate the perimeter of the outer semicircle, then add the perimeter of the inner semicircle and also add the sides too.

Now, due to the fact that the length of the sides of the pillow are 0.2 yards each, the diameter of the outer circle would be;

0.5 + 0.2 + 0.2 = 0.9 yards. So, the perimeter of the outer semicircle is,

P0 = πd/2 = π × 0.9/2 =0.45π yds

The perimeter of the inner semicircle would be given as;

PI = πd/2 = π × 0.5/2 =0.25π yds.

Thus, we can calculate the total perimeter of the pillow as;

PT = P0 + PI + 0.2 + 0.2

PT = 0.45π + 0.25π + 0.2 + 0.2

PT ≈ 2.6 yards

Alex will need 2.6 yds
