a.
The polynomial w^2+18w+84 cannot be factored
The perfect square trinomial is w^2+18w + 81
----------
The reason the original can't be factored is that solving w^2+18w+84=0 leads to no real solutions. Use the quadratic formula to see this. The graph of y = x^2+18x+84 shows there are no x intercepts. A solution and an x intercept are basically the same. The x intercept visually represents the solution.
w^2+18w+81 factors to (w+9)^2 which is the same as (w+9)(w+9). We can note that w^2+18w+81 is in the form a^2+2ab+b^2 with a = w and b = 9
================================================
b.
The polynomial y^2-10y+23 cannot be factored
The perfect square trinomial is y^2-10y + 25
---------
Using the quadratic formula, y^2-10y+23 = 0 has no rational solutions. The two irrational solutions mean that we can't factor over the rationals. Put another way, there are no two whole numbers such that they multiply to 23 and add to -10 at the same time.
If we want to complete the square for y^2-10y, we take half of the -10 to get -5, then square this to get 25. Therefore, y^2-10y+25 is a perfect square and it factors to (y-5)^2 or (y-5)(y-5)
Answer:
<u>30 people </u>
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is as following:
Here are the ingredients for pineapple sherbet for 6 people
800g pineapple 4 egg whites 1/2 lemon 100g caster sugar
Dan makes pineapple sherbet he uses 2 1/2 lemons
work out how many people he makes pineapple sherbet for?
=======================================================
1/2 lemon needed for pineapple sherbet for 6 people
2 1/2 lemons needed for pineapple sherbet for <u>x</u> people
1/2 : 6 = 2 1/2 : x
∴ x = ( 6 * 2 1/2 ) ÷ (1/2)
x = 6 * 5/2 * 2 = 30 people
<u>So, he make the pineapple sherbet for 30 people </u>
L=1.5w
P=l+w
40=2.5 w
W=16
L=1.5(16) =24
Length is 24
Width is 16

Step-by-step explanation:
POOR QUALITY
<u>Part A : </u>
W = 8x
-
<u>Part B : </u>
S = 8x + 12y
-
<u>Part C: </u>
S = 8x + 12y
-
Since 368 is more than 8 x 40, she must have worked more than 40 hours:
368 = 8(40) + 12y
368 = 320 + 12y
12y = 368 - 320
12 y = 48
y = 48 ÷ 12
y = 4
-
Total hours worked = 40 + 4 = 44
-
Answer: She worked 44 hours
