Convert -1 1/4 to the mixed number -5/4.

Then the product of -1 1/4 and -2/5 is (-5/4)(-2/5) = 10/20, or 1/2.

Please, do not use " x " to indicate multiplication. " x " is reserved for naming variables. Instead, use " * " to indicate mult.

Thus, your problem is best written -1 1/4 * -2/5

The function A(b) relates the area of a trapezoid with a given height of 12 and

Flura [38]

Answer:

$B(a)=\frac{a}{6}-9$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure , to better understand the problem

we have

$A(b)=12(\frac{b+9}{2})$

where

A(b) ---> is the trapezoid's area

b ---> is the other base value

Solve the equation for b

That means ----> isolate the variable b

Divide 12 by 2 right side

$A=6(b+9)$

Divide by 6 both sides

$\frac{A}{6}=b+9$

subtract 9 both sides

$\frac{A}{6}-9=b$

Rewrite

$b=\frac{A}{6}-9$

Convert to function notation

$B(a)=\frac{a}{6}-9$
