Can you help me with question 32? Quadratic Equations

1 answer:

8 0

Lets x = width
height = 2x - 4

A = 1/2 b h
63 = 1/2 (x)(2x-4)
126 = 2x^2 - 4x
2(x^2 - 2x - 63) = 0
2(x - 9)(x + 7) = 0
x - 9 = 0; x = 9
x + 7 = 0; x = -7

so width = 9
height = 2(9) - 4 = 18 - 4 = 14

answer
width = 9 in
height = 14 in

A teacher has two students, one two times as old as the other. The teacher is five times as old as the older student, and in 5 y

kramer

Let's call the younger student's age A and the older student's age B. The teacher's age will be T.

B = 2A
T = 5B
T+5 = 5(A+5)

Simplify the last equation.

T+5 = 5A+25
T = 5A+20

Now we have two equations solved for T, so we can set them equal to each other.

5B = 5A + 20

We can plug 2A in for B

5(2A) = 5A + 20

10A = 5A + 20

5A = 20

A = 4

To find T, we plug 4 in for A in T = 5A + 20

T = 5(4) + 20

T = 40

The answer is 40 years old.

Write three expressions that are the equivalent of 5of 100, 000 , first as a numberthen in wordsfinally in scientific notation

disa [49]

Answer: 1) 500, 000

2) Five hundred thousand

3) $5\times10^5$

Step-by-step explanation:

To express: 5 of 100, 000 in three expressions (First - number. second - word , third - scientific )

5 of 100, 000 = 5 x 100, 000 = <u>500, 000</u>

In word -<u> Five hundred thousand</u> [ as place value of 5 = hundred thousand]

In scientific notation, $500, 000=5\times10^5$

Hence, the required expressions:

1) 500, 000

2) Five hundred thousand

3) $5\times10^5$
