The given polygon can be divided in two parts 1) Triangle PES 2) Rectangle GPST

The sum of the areas of the triangle and the rectangle will give the area of the polygon.

1) Area of any triangle can be found by the formula A= $\frac{1}{2} bh$

b denotes the base of the triangle and h is the height of the triangle.

In the given triangle base PS =7 units and h= 2 units .

Substituting these values we have

A= $\frac{1}{2} .7.2$

A= 7 square units.

2) Area of rectangle can be found by the formula A= length x width.

For rectangle GPST length = 5 units ,width = 7 units

Area of rectangle =5x7=35 square units

Area of polygon = 7+35=42 square units.

Area = 72 $units^{2}$

Mrs. Lopez is designing her garden in the shape of a rectangle. The area of her garden is 2 times greater than the area of the r

scoray [572]

To find the expression for the area of the rectangular garden we will find the area of the rectangle in the picture and then double it.

Area of the garden will be represented by the expression 32s⁵ ft².

Mrs. Lopez is designing her rectangular garden which is 2 times greater than the area of the rectangle shown in the picture.

Dimensions of the rectangle in the picture are 4s³t ft and 8s² ft.

Therefore, area of the rectangle in the picture = Length × Width

= 4s³t × 8s²

= 32s⁵t ft²

Since, area of the garden is 2 times greater than the area of the rectangle given in the picture.

Therefore, area of the garden = 2(area of the rectangle given in the garden)

= 2(32s⁵t) square feet.

= 64s⁵t square feet

A culture of yeast doubles in size every four hours. If the yeast population is estimated to be three million now, what will it

Bess [88]

It doubles every 4 hours, so after 24 hours there will be 6 doublings.
2^6 = 64
So, the population will be (3,000,000 * 64) or 192,000,000 in 24 hours.
The answer is B.

Factor f(x) = 15x^3 - 15x^2 - 90x completely and determine the exact value(s) of the zero(s) and enter them as a comma separated

Illusion [34]

Answer:

$x=-2,0,3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a function $f(x)=15x^3-15x^2-90x$ . We are asked to find the zeros of our given function.

To find the zeros of our given function, we will equate our given function by 0 as shown below:

$15x^3-15x^2-90x=0$

Now, we will factor our equation. We can see that all terms of our equation a common factor that is $15x$ .

Upon factoring out $15x$ , we will get:

$15x(x^2-x-6)=0$

Now, we will split the middle term of our equation into parts, whose sum is $-1$ and whose product is $-6$ . We know such two numbers are $-3\text{ and }2$ .

$15x(x^2-3x+2x-6)=0$

$15x((x^2-3x)+(2x-6))=0$

$15x(x(x-3)+2(x-3))=0$

$15x(x-3)(x+2)=0$

Now, we will use zero product property to find the zeros of our given function.

$15x=0\text{ (or) }(x-3)=0\text{ (or) }(x+2)=0$

$15x=0\text{ (or) }x-3=0\text{ (or) }x+2=0$

$\frac{15x}{15}=\frac{0}{15}\text{ (or) }x-3=0\text{ (or) }x+2=0$

$x=0\text{ (or) }x=3\text{ (or) }x=-2$

Therefore, the zeros of our given function are $x=-2,0,3$ .

Thank you so much, my friend

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is quite a doozy, my friend. We will set up a d = rt table, fill it in...and pray.

The table will look like this before we even fill anything in:

d = r * t

SUV

sedan

Ok now we start to pick apart the problem. Motion problems are the hardest of all story problems ever. This is because there are about 100 ways a motion problem can be presented. So far what we KNOW for an indisputable fact is that the distance from Georgetown to Greenville is 120 km. So we fill that in, making the table:

d = r * t

SUV 120

sedan 120

The next part is derived from the sentence "After an hour, the SUV was 24 km ahead of the sedan." This tells us the rate of the SUV in terms of the sedan. If the SUV is 24 km ahead of the sedan in 1 hour, that tells us that the rate of the sedan is r and the rate of the SUV is r + 24 km/hr. BUT we have other times in this problem, one of them being 25 minutes. We have a problem here because the times either have to be in hours or minutes, but not both. So we will change that rate to km/min. Doing that:

24 $\frac{km}{hr}$ × $\frac{1hr}{60min}=.4\frac{km}{min}$ So now we can fill in the rates in the table:

d = r * t

SUV 120 = r + .4

sedan 120 = r

They left at the same time, so now the table looks like this:

d = r * t

SUV 120 = r + .4 * t

sedan 120 = r * t

We will put in the time difference of 25 minutes in just a sec.

If d = rt, then the equation for each row is as follows:

SUV: 120 = (r + .4)t

sedan: 120 = rt

Since the times are the same (because they left at the same time, we will set the equations each equal to t. The distances are the same, too, I know that, but if we set the distances equal to each other and then solve the equations for a variable, the distances cancel each other out, leaving us with nowhere to go. Trust me, I tried that first! Didn't work.

Solving the first equation for time:

sedan: $\frac{120}{r}=t$ That's the easy one. Now the SUV. This is where that time difference of 25 minutes comes in from the last sentence. Let's think about what that sentence means in terms of the times of each of these vehicles. If the sedan arrived 25 minutes after the SUV, then the sedan was driving 25 minutes longer; conversely, if the sedan arrived 25 minutes after the SUV, then the SUV was driving 25 minutes less than the sedan. The latter explanation is the one I used in the equation. Again, if the SUV was driving 25 minutes less than the sedan, and the equations are solved for time, then the equation for the SUV in terms of time is

$\frac{120}{r+.4}=t-25$ and we solve that for t:

$\frac{120}{r+.4}+25=t$

Again, going off the fact that times they both leave are the same, we set the equations equal to one another and solve for r:

$\frac{120}{r+.4}+25=\frac{120}{r}$

I began by first multiplying everything through by (r + .4) to get rid of it in the denominator. Doing that:

$[r+.4](\frac{120}{r+.4}) +[r+.4](25)=[r+.4](\frac{120}{r})$ which simplifies very nicely to

$120+25(r+.4)=\frac{120}{r}(r+.4)$ So maybe it's not so nice. Let's keep going:

$120+25r+10=\frac{120r}{r}+\frac{48}{r}$ and keep going some more:

$130+25r=120+\frac{48}{r}$ and now we multiply everything through by r to get rid of THAT denominator:

$r(130)+r(25r)=r(120)+r(\frac{48}{r})$ giving us:

$130r+25r^2=120r+48$ Now we have a second degree polynomial we have to solve by factoring. Get everything on one side and factor using the quadratic formula.

$25r^2+10r-48=0$

That factors to

r = 1.2 and r = -1.6 and both of those rates are in km/minute. First of all, we cannot have a negative rate (this is not physics where we are dealing with velocity which CAN be negative) so we throw out the -1.6 and convert the rate of 1.2 km/minute back to km/hr:

$1.2\frac{km}{min}$ × $\frac{60min}{1hr}$ and we get
