To answer this you will need to determine which area made with the 12 square tiles would give the shortest perimeter.

Think of all the combinations to get 12 square inches
1x12, 2x6, and 3x4. The perimeters of these are 26 in, 16 in, and 14 in.

You should arrange your tiles using the 3 x 4 option. You would need 14 stones.

What is the equation of the line shown in the graph? (-3,1) (2,-4)
ki77a [65]

Answer:

x + y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The two primary equations to remember when dealing with graphing 2-variable equations are: ax + by = c (a & b are the x & y coefficients, respectively), and the other is y = mx + c (m = slope, x & y represent themselves). There is another equation to find the slope. If not already known, it's: ∆y/∆x {∆(aka Delta) = difference}. So, since that's all been established, we can proceed to calculate your question:

1) Find your slope: 1 - (-4) = 5 for your y-variable. And -3 - 2 = -5 for your x-variable. So your slope = 5/-5 = -1

2) Use the y = mx + c equation together with either set of (x,y) coordinates to get the equation 1 = (-1)(-3) + c. Which gives you c = -2

3) So, going back to the main equation to remember, the ax + by = c, use a one of your given sets of x,y coordinates and input your known values for x, y, & c to get: a(-3) + b(1) = (-2) and do the same with other set (these are just double-checks, coefficients are all equal to 1 anyways). So, you should arrive to the equation: x + y = -2

Sean tossed a coin off a bridge into the stream below. The path of the coin can be represented by the equation 2 h tt = − 16t^2+
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

It will take 5.61 seconds for the coin to reach the stream.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the coin, after t seconds, is given by the following equation:

h(t) = -16t^{2} + 72t + 100

How long will it take the coin to reach the stream?

The stream is the ground level.

So the coin reaches the stream when h(t) = 0.

h(t) = -16t^{2} + 72t + 100

-16t^{2} + 72t + 100 = 0

Multiplying by (-1)

16t^{2} - 72t - 100 = 0

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac

In this question:

16t^{2} - 72t - 100 = 0

So

a = 16, b = -72, c = -100

\bigtriangleup = (-72)^{2} - 4*16*(-100) = 11584

t_{1} = \frac{-(-72) + \sqrt{11584}}{2*16} = 5.61

t_{2} = \frac{-(-72) - \sqrt{11584}}{2*16} = -1.11

Time is a positive measure, so we take the positive value.

It will take 5.61 seconds for the coin to reach the stream.
