A conference room is in the shape of a rectangle. Its floor has a length of (x − 4) meters and a width of (3x − 1) meters. The e

xpression below represents the area of the floor of the room in square meters:
(x − 4)(3x − 1)

Which of the following simplified expressions represents the area of the floor of the conference room in square meters?

x2 − 13x + 4
3x2 − 13x + 4

Answer:

3x^2−13x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

(x−4)(3x−1)

=(x+−4)(3x+−1)

=(x)(3x)+(x)(−1)+(−4)(3x)+(−4)(−1)

=3x^2−x−12x+4

=3x^2−13x+4

Answer:

Option A. 3x² - 13x + 4 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A conference room is in the shape of a rectangle. Its floor has a length of (x - 4) and width of (3x - 1) meters.

The expression that represents the area of the room is (x - 4)(3x -1) meter²

We further simplify this expression representing the area of the conference room.

(x - 4)(3x -1) = x(3x -1) - 4(3x -1) [Distributive law]

= 3x² - x - 12x + 4

= 3x² - 13x + 4

Option A. 3x² - 13x + 4 is the simplified form of the given expression.

What is the slope ? Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction

katovenus [111]

Answer: 1/2

(0,80) (90,20)

Use Slope Formula m= (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

90-80/20 = 1/2

Your slope is 1/2

What can be said about the discriminant of the graph below?

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

C. The discriminant is negative, so there are no solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that the given figure is a graph of a parabola.

The equation of the given parabola is $y=(x-3)^{2}+1$ .

Simplifying the equation in quadratic form, we get,

The equation is $y=(x-3)^{2}+1$ i.e. $y=x^{2}+9-6x+1$ i.e. $y=x^{2}-6x+10$ .

We know that the discriminant of a quadratic equation $ax^{2}+bx+c=0$ is given by $D=b^{2}-4ac$

So, from the equation $x^{2}-6x+10=0$ , we have,

a = 1, b = -6 and c = 10

Thus, the discriminant is $D=(-6)^{2}-4\times 1\times 10$

i.e. $D=36-40$

i.e. $D=-4$

So, the discriminant is -4 i.e. negative.

Hence, as the discriminant is negative, there are no solutions.

In ∆ABC, ∠BAC= 80°, ∠ABC=60°, a = 7, b = x.

Sonbull [250]

To solve the value of x we use the sine rule that states.
a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC
Where a, b, and c are the opposite sides of angle A, B. and C respectively.

x/sin60 = 7/sin80

x =(7sin60)/sin80

= 6.062/0.9848
=6.155696691

To 3 significant figures the answer is 6.16
