(x + a) (x + b) = x² + (a + b) x + ab
75 * 77=
=(70+5)(70+7)
=70²+(5+7)*70+5*7
=4900+12*70+35
=4900+840+35
=5775
Hi There!
----------------------------------
Question 2:
Obviously the right equation for this question is Point Slope Form.
Point Slope Form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y1 = -1
x1 = 3
m = 2
Question 2 Answer: y + 1 = 2(x - 3)
----------------------------------
Question 3:
Again use point slope form.
Find Slope:
7 - 1 = 6
-2 - 1 = -3
6/-3 = -2
Question 3 Answer: y - 1 = -2(x - 1)
----------------------------------
Hope This Helps :)
You are adding s^2 to your 128 ft^2. s^2 is a common representation of a square. So you could think of it as adding an area of a square of side "s" to your deck.
So one way of drawing it is to draw a rectangle with area 128 ft^2 and attaching a square to one of its side. The square that is attached has a side lenght of "s."
