Can (5z+3)(-5z-3) result in a difference of squares

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

no, it cannot

Step-by-step explanation:

a difference of square is: a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)

looking at the expression (5z+3)(-5z-3), we see that it does not fit the criteria of the breakdown of a perfect square, as (-5z-3) has a negative <em>a</em> term (-5z)

if we FOILed (5z+3)(-5z-3) out, we would get:

-25z² - 30z - 9, which is not a difference of squares

Find the length and width of a rectangle that has the given area and a minimum perimeter. Area: 162 square feet

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The width and length of rectangle is 12.728 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle = L

let the width of the rectangle = W

The subjective function is given by;

F(p) = 2(L + W)

F = 2L + 2W

Area of the rectangle is given by;

A = LW

LW = 162 ft²

L = 162 / W

Substitute in the value of L into subjective function;

$f = 2l + 2w\\\\f = 2(\frac{162}{w} )+2w\\\\f = \frac{324}{w} + 2w\\\\\frac{df}{dw} = \frac{-324}{w^2} +2\\\\$

Take the second derivative of the function, to check if it will given a minimum perimeter

$\frac{d^2f}{dw^2}= \frac{648}{w^3} \\\\Thus, \frac{d^2f}{dw^2}>0, \ since,\frac{648}{w^3} >0 \ (minimum \ function \ verified)$

Determine the critical points of the first derivative;

df/dw = 0

$\frac{-324}{w^2} +2 = 0\\\\-324 + 2w^2=0\\\\2w^2 = 324\\\\w^2 = \frac{324}{2} \\\\w^2 = 162\\\\w= \sqrt{162}\\\\w = 12.728 \ m$

L = 162 / 12.728

L = 12.728 m

Therefore, the width and length of rectangle is 12.728 m

Please answer correctly !!!!!!!!! Will mark brainliest answer !!!!!!!!!!!!

Lena [83]

Answer:

I think that C) and D)

Step-by-step explanation:

I think this because if you look at 3.5 secounds it came down and after 1.75 secounds the ball hit the ground. A) wouldn't be because it came down at 3.5 secounds not coming up. B) wouldn't be because the ball droped after 1.75 secounds not come up.
