Answer:
Photomath
Step-by-step explanation:
It looks like someone else is answering this for me so I'll just give ya a nudge. In the future as long as you can put it into an equation Photo math helped me a lot in Middle and Highschool.
0.3 is 3 tenths.
The order of "ths" is tenths, hundredths, thousandths.
Since there are no numbers after the 3, you simply have to add 2 zeros to make it 300 thousandths.
0.300<span />
By <span>(x + 5/x^2 + 9x + 20) you apparently meant the following:
x+5
----------------------
x^2 + 9x + 20
and by
</span><span>(x^2-16/x-4)
x^2-16
you apparently meant ---------------
x - 4
Please use additional parentheses for clarity.
Dividing,
</span> x+5 (x-4)(x+4)
---------------------- * ---------------
x^2 + 9x + 20 x-4
Now, x^2 + 9x + 20 factors into (x+4)(x+5), so what we have now is
(x+5)(x+4)
------------------------- = 1 This is true for all x, so there are no exclusions.
(x+4)(x+5)
5. The 5th figure will have 30 tiles.
6. The 6th figure will have 42 tiles.
7. The pattern is non-linear (quadratic).
8. The 20th figure can be made with 420 tiles.
_____
The Nth figure is made with n*(n+1) tiles. To answer question 8, you must solve
.. n(n +1) = 420
.. n^2 +n -420 = 0
.. (n +21)(n -20) = 0
.. n = 20 or -21 . . . . the negative solution is extraneous
