By representing the equation is written in the form y = ax + b .

The value of b is 8.

According to the question

A start-up company opened with 8 employees.

So, Number of employees = 8

At zero quarter = 8

The company’s growth plan assumes that 2 new employees will be hired each quarter

After 1 quarter = Number of employees + 2 new employees

After one quarter = 8 + 2 = 10

Equation is written in the form y = ax + b to represent the number of employees, y, employed by the company x quarters after the company opened

y = ax + b

10 = 2 × 1 + b

10 = 2 + b

Subtract 2 on both sides of the equation

b = 10 - 2

b = 8

The value of b is 8.

deirdre is factoring the polynomial x squared plus 2x minus 24. which combination can she use to replace the middle term, 2x ?

Shkiper50 [21]

we are given with

The polynomial x squared plus 2x minus 24

$\\\x^2+2x-24\\\\\=x^2+6x-4x-24\\\\\=x(x+6)-4(x+6)\\\\\=(x-4)(x+6)\\$

Hence the required combination is 6x and -4x

Answer:

BC ≈ 17.0 (neither Crow nor Toad is correct)

Step-by-step explanation:

The left-side ratio of (2+4)/4 = 3/2 suggests BC is 3/2 times the length DE. If that were the case, BC = (3/2)(11) = 16.5, as Crow says.

The right-side ratio of (5+9)/9 = 14/9 suggests that BC 9 is 14/9 times the length DE. If that were the case, BC = (14/9)(11) = 154/9 = 17 1/9 ≈ 17.1, as Toad says.

The different ratios of the two sides (3/2 vs 14/9) tell you that the triangles are NOT similar, so the length of BC cannot be found by referring to the ratios of the given sides.

Rather, the Law of Cosines must be invoked, first to find angle A (109.471°), then to use that angle to compute the length of BC given the side lengths AB and AC. That computation gives BC ≈ 16.971. (See the second attachment.)
