$\huge\mathbb{ \underline{SOLUTION :}}$

<h3>Given:</h3>

$\bold{-6(2^2+3)-2(1^2-2)}$

$\\$

The $\mathrm{distributive \: property}$ states that an expression that is given in the form of $\small\sf{ A(B + C)}$ can be solved as $\small\sf{A \times (B + C) = AB + AC}$ . So:

$\small\longrightarrow\sf{-24-18-2+4}$

$\small\longrightarrow\sf{-42+2}$

▪ $\large\tt{All \: \: options \: \: are \: \: wrong}$

$\\$

$\huge \mathbb{ \underline{ANSWER:}}$

$\small\longrightarrow\sf{−6 (2^2+3) − 2 (1^2 - 2) = \underline{-6(4+3)}}$

A gardener already has four and one over 2 ft of fencing in his garage. He wants to fence in a square garden for his flowers. Th

NikAS [45]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$6\frac{1}{2}$ <u>, "six and one over two ft".</u>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let's considerate the fact that the garden has a <u>square shape</u>.

<h3>1. Finding values of interest.</h3>

Amount of fence that the gardener already has: $4\frac{1}{2}$ ft.

Length of one side: $2\frac{3}{4}$ ft.

If one side measures $2\frac{3}{4}$ ft, and the square garden has 4 sides of equal length, because it's a square, then we must multiply the measure of one side by 4 to find the total length of fence needed:

$4*(2\frac{3}{4})=\\ \\4*(2+\frac{3}{4})=\\ \\(4*2)+(4*\frac{3}{4})=\\ \\8+(\frac{12}{4} )=\\ \\8+3=\\ \\11$

The gardener already has $4\frac{1}{2}$ , which equals $4 + \frac{1}{2}$ . Hence, the difference between the amount needed and the amount that the gardeneralready has will give us the remaining amount required. Let's do that:

$11-(4+\frac{1}{2} )=\\ \\11-(\frac{8}{2} +\frac{1}{2} )=\\ \\11-\frac{9}{2}= \\ \\\frac{22}{2} -\frac{9}{2}=\\\\ \frac{13}{2}$

<h3>3. Express your result.</h3>

$\frac{13}{2} =\\ \\\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{1}{2}= \\ \\6+\frac{1}{2}=\\ \\6\frac{1}{2}$

Can someone help me find the functions zeros

Amiraneli [1.4K]

$\bf g(x) = 2(x-3)^2-8\implies \stackrel{g(x)}{0}=2(x-3)^2-8\implies 8=2(x-3)^2 \\\\\\ \cfrac{8}{2}=(x-3)^2\implies 4=(x-3)^2\implies \pm\sqrt{4}=x-3\implies \pm 2 = x-3 \\\\\\ \pm 2 +3 = x\implies x = \begin{cases} 5\\ 1 \end{cases}$
