Let

x---------> the thickness of the frame in feet

At-------> Area of the mirror and the frame in square feet

we know that

At=19.25ft^{2} ------> equation 1

At=(3+2x)*(5+2x)\\ At=3*5+3*2x+5*2x+2x*2x\\ At=15+6x+10x+4x^{2} \\ At=4x^{2} +16x+15--------> equation 2

equate equation 1 and equation 2

19.25=4x^{2} +16x+15\\ 4x^{2} +16x+15-19.25=0\\ 4x^{2} +16x-4.25=0

therefore

the answer is the option

C. 4x2 + 16x - 4.25 = 0

The answer is letter <span>C. 4x2 + 16x - 4.25 = 0. 
</span>
The area of the mirror and frame together is 19.25 square feet. You deduct that with the area of the mirror (3ft x 5ft = 15ft) and you have 4.25 square feet.

wariber [46]

Answer:  69

Step-by-step explanation:

First add all your positive numbers 37 + 58 = 95

Then add your negative numbers -17 + -9 = -26

Finally, subtract

95

-26

___

69

The answer is positive because the positive number 95 was higher than the negative number -26.

scoray [572]
Lines that are perpendicular to another line has an opposite reciprocal slope. (opposite meaning to negate the number).
Lines that are parallel have the same slope.

But the line you provided is a vertical line, and vertical lines are undefined. There is no possible perpendicular or parallel line. Maybe you gave the wrong equation and didn't put it in <em>y=mx+b</em> form. If so, you can correct it in the comments, and if not, that's you answer!

Which of the following graphs of exponential functions corresponds to a geometric sequence with a first term of 4 and a ratio of
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer: graph E.


A geometric sequence can be written as:

a_{n} = a_{1} \cdot r^{(n - 1)}

where:

a₁ = first term = 4

r = ratio = 0.5


Substituting the numbers, we have:

a_{n} = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}

or else

f(x) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{x - 1}


This is an exponential function with base less than 1. Therefore, we can exclude graph C (which depicts a linear function), and graphs A and D (which depict an exponential function with base greater than 1).


In order to choose between graph B and E, let's evaluate the function in two different points:

f(1) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{1 - 1} = 4

f(2) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{2 - 1} = 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 2


Therefore, we need to look for the graph passing through the points (1, 4) and (2, 2). That is graph E.
