Determine the solution set of (x - 4)2 = 12.

1 answer:

3 0

(x-4)2=12
First, you want to divide both sides by 2 to eliminate the 2 outside of the parenthesis. That leaves you with:
(x-4)=6
Then add four to both sides to eliminate the four inside the parenthesis:
x=10

To check work, substitute ten in for x in the original equation:
(10-4)2=12
(6)2=12
12=12, so this is correct :)

The perimeter of a square is 4 times the length of one side of the square. Which graph represents this situation? *

Arisa [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph B must be incorrect as this is a directly proportional relationship. Likewise, graph C shows an inversely proportional relationship.

Between graph A and D, only graph A passes through the origin, which is true because if length is zero, perimeter is zero.

Hence the answer is Graph A.

A shipping company needs to determine the number of Styrofoam packing peanuts that fit per square foot in a box that measures 20

Mumz [18]

1) We have 1300 packing peanuts, and 20 ft^2. Therefore, to find out how many packing peanuts there are per square foot, we divide the number of peanuts (1300) by the number of square feet (20 ft^2). This gives us 1300 / 20 = 65 packing peanuts per square foot.
2) We do not know the current volume of the box which fits the 1300 packing peanuts (all we know is its area). But it is reasonable to expect that if we increase the volume by 25%, the number of packing peanuts will also increase by 25%. This means we can fit 1300*(1.25) = 1625 peanuts in the larger box.
3) This will depend on how the box is larger. If its height remains the same, and its floor area increases to accommodate the greater volume, then the number of packing peanuts per square foot remains the same.
However, if the height of the box is different, then the number of packing peanuts per square foot will change, since the floor area will not increase by the same 25% any more.

Bob is driving along a straight and level road toward a mountain. At some point on his trip, he measures the angle of elevation

avanturin [10]

Answer:

5353 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We have height of the mountain = x

We also have

tan (21°44')= x/13428.7 → x=5352.98ft

Height of the mountain to the nearest foot = 5353 ft

Hope this helps ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
