Step-by-step explanation:
trapezoid area calculator, A=(a+b/2)h
The answer is A. x=4.
Start off by distributing the parentheses into the equation.
4x+2(x+6)=36
4x+2x+12=26
Combine like terms.
4x+2x=6x
6x+12=36
Now solve the equation as normal. Begin by subtracting 12 from both sides to isolate the variable.
6x+12=36
-12 -12
---------------
6x = 24
Divide 6 on both sides to find x.
6x=24
---- -----
6 6
x=4
The solution to the equation is 4.
Sure this question comes with a set of answer choices.
Anyhow, I can help you by determining one equation that can be solved to determine the value of a in the equation.
Since, the two zeros are - 4 and 2, you know that the equation can be factored as the product of (x + 4) and ( x - 2) times a constant. This is, the equation has the form:
y = a(x + 4)(x - 2)
Now, since the point (6,10) belongs to the parabola, you can replace those coordintates to get:
10 = a (6 + 4) (6 - 2)
Therefore, any of these equivalent equations can be solved to determine the value of a:
10 = a 6 + 40) (6 -2)
10 = a (10)(4)
10 = 40a
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, it's reasonable.
What you are doing is solving the question by rounding. You come up with an answer. Suppose you loose the decimal somewhere and you get 0.36? Is that reasonable? Do you just write the answer in the provided blank and move on. What now?
You get it wrong?!!
But your estimate should be about 9/3 = 3. Now you look at your calculator with great misgivings, because it made a mistake. Did it or did you? Well ultimately you did, but you have to blame something. So the calculator takes the heat.
Who knows? Maybe the decimal doesn't work. It's stuck or something. In any event you should be aware that there's no way the answer could be 0.36 when you estimate it to be 3.
4x - 24 = -2x + 30
4x + 2x = 30 + 24
6x = 54
x = 9
answer: the number is 9
