Mr. thompson has been asked to add storage space to a garage. he estimates 6 square feet per individual will be required to meet

the needs of 12 people. if the storage space is 15% of the total amount of space required, how much total space does mr. thompson have? mr. thompson had square feet.

To solve this problem, first let us calculate for the total space of the storage area:

Total storage space = (6 square feet / person) (12 persons)

Total storage space = 72 square feet

 

Since this storage space is only equivalent to 15% of the total garage space, therefore we can write the equation:

(0.15) total space = total storage space

total space = total storage space / 0.15

 

Then calculating for the total space by substitution of the variable:

total space = 72 square feet / 0.15

total space = 480 square feet

 

<span>Therefore Mr. Thompson has a total space of 480 square feet.</span>

Find the 100th term for the sequence. -9,-4, 1, 6, 11, .......
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

486

Step-by-step explanation:

for the 2nd term, add 5 to -9

for the 3rd, add 5 × 2 to -9

for the 4th, add 5 × 3 to -9

:

for the 100th, add 5 × (100 - 1) to -9

=> 5 × 99 + (-9)

=> 486

A rectangle has a length of x + 5 and width of x - 3. What is the area of the rectangle? Write the answer as a polynomial in sta
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length * width

length: x + 3

width: x - 5

A = (x + 3)(x - 5)

Simplify (x + 3)(x - 5) using the FOIL method:

 

1. First numbers: multiply the first number of each binomial together--x*x = x%5E2

2. Outer numbers: multiply the outer number of each binomial (out of the entire expression, the number farthest to the left (x) and the number farthest to the right (-5))--x*-5 = -5x

3. Inner numbers: multiply the inner number of each binomial--3*x = 3x

4. Last numbers: multiply the last number of each binomial--3*-5 = -15

==> Now, add all of the results together and combine like terms: x%5E2+-+5x+%2B+3x+-+15 = x%5E2+-+2x+-+15

Therefore, A = x%5E2+-+2x+-+15

Use the Quadratic formula to find all real zeros of the 2nd degree polynomial
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

  x ∈ {-5, -1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the solution using the quadratic formula:

x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\dfrac{-24\pm\sqrt{24^2-4\cdot 4\cdot 20}}{2\cdot 4}\\\\=\dfrac{-24\pm\sqrt{576-320}}{8}=\dfrac{-24\pm\sqrt{256}}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{-24\pm 16}{8}=-3\pm 2=\{-5,-1\}

The real zeros are -5 and -1.

_____

There are many ways to check your answer. One of them is to look at the given quadratic, which has no changes of sign in its coefficients. (They are all positive.) That means there can be no positive real roots, so already you know that x=0.5 won't work.

Also, the constant in the quadratic is the product of the roots, For your roots, their product is -7/4, so even multiplying by 4 (the leading coefficient in the given quadratic), you don't get anything like 20.

-GEOMETRY PROBLEM- I don’t understand this problem, can anybody help? The question is in the picture. Thanks! I’ll give 15 point
svetoff [14.1K]
In tue picture, we can see 2 triangles and they already labeled 2 congruent sides. We also see that the line in the middle is being shared between the 2 triangles, making the side equal. Using the SSS theorem, we can prove that these teiangles are congruent to each other. Hope this helps.
