Copper because that's what wires are made from and they help transport electricity
Answer:
This (x - 5) represents the length of the rectangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a rectangle of length L and width W is A = L * W.
Here, the width is x - 4 and the area is x^2 + x - 20. Dividing the width (x - 4) into the area results in an expression for the length:
x - 4 / x^2 + x - 20
Let's use synthetic division here. It's a little faster than long division.
If the divisor in long division is x - 4, we know immediately that the divisor in synthetic division is 4:
4 / 1 1 -20
4 20
--------------------
1 5 0
This synthetic division results in a remainder of 0. This tells us that 4 (or the corresponding (x - 4) is indeed a root of the polynomial x^2 + x - 20, and so *(x - 4) is a factor. From the coefficients 1 and 5 we can construct the other factor: (x - 5). This (x - 5) represents the length of the rectangle.
Answer:
y intercept at 5/2. Slope is 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for a line can be represented by the formula y=mx+b. M is the slope or rate of change and b is the y intercept. Since the equation y=5/2 does not have an x in it the slope is 0 and you have a perfectly straight horizontal line. Since we are just left with 5/2 that is our y intercept.
In other words, no matter what value you plug in for x, y will always be 5/2.
Answer:
n = 70
Step-by-step explanation:
n/10 = 7
Multiply each side by 10
n/10 *10 = 7*10
n = 70
