Factor completely 5x2 − 5x − 100.

1 answer:

4 0

First, factor out 5:
5 (x² -x -20)
We need two numbers that add to -1 and multiply to -20. -5 and 4 satisfy this.
5(x-5)(x+4)

Three of the four vertices of a rectangle are located at (4, 2), (7, 2) and (4, 8). a. What are the coordinates of the missing v

34kurt

Answer:

a) The coordinates of the missing vertex = (7, 8)

b) Area = 18 square units

Perimeter = 18 units

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We know three of the four vertices:

A: (4, 2) C ______ D(?)

B: (7, 2) | |

C: (4, 8) A |______| B

To find the coordinates of the missing vertex we need to calculate the distance in the x-direction from point A to point B:

$B_{x} - A_{x} = 7 - 4 = 3$

Hence, the distance of point D from point C in the x-direction is:

$D_{x} = C_{x} + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7$

Now, to find the coordinate in "y" we need to calculate the distance in the y-direction between point C and point A:

$C_{y} - A_{y} = 8 - 2 = 6$

Then, the distance of point D from point B in the y-direction is:

$D_{y} = B_{y} + 6 = 2 + 6 = 8$

Therefore, the coordinates of the missing vertex (point D) are:

$D = (D_{x}, D_{y}) = (7, 8)$

b) The area of the rectangle is:

$a = (B_{x} - A_{x})*(C_{y} - A_{y}) = 3*6 = 18 units^{2}$

The perimeter is given by:

$p = 2*(3 + 6) = 18 units$

I hope it helps you!

Please Help Waiting 2 hours due in 10 minutes<br> Will report if file

UNO [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to multiply it by two because they have us 2 numbers for the legs, we use the Pythagorean theorem thing, but we have to basically add them, or we can multiply y 2(since they are the same number). Anyways $18\sqrt{2} (2)= 36\sqrt{2}$

6m+7n+5m−3n simpified

diamong [38]

Answer:

11m + 4n

Step-by-step explanation:

when two numbers with the same variable are added together or subtracted the result is just the numbers added or subtracted. So you can add 6m and 5m to get 11m. and you can subtract 3n from 7n to get 4n

11m + 4n
