Alexei wants to hang a mirror in his boat and put a frame around it. The mirror and frame must have an area of 19.25 square feet

. The mirror is 3 feet wide and 5 feet long. Which quadratic equation can be used to determine the thickness of the frame, x?. . A. 2x2 + 8x - 19.25 = 0. B. 3x2 + 5x - 19.25 = 0. C. 4x2 + 16x - 4.25 = 0. D. 4x2 + 16x + 15 = 0

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.

PLS HELP I'LL MARK BRAINLIEST
Elis [28]

Answer:

Domain: (-∞, -5) ∪ (-1, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

Note:

For f(x) > 0: See the points of x for which the graph of f(x) lies above the x-axis.

For f(x) < 0: See the points of x for which the graph of f(x) lies below the x-axis.

We need to find the domain of f(x) for which f(x) < 0

From the graph, we can tell:

f(x) < 0 on (-∞, -5) ∪ (-1, ∞)

Therefore: The domain on which the given graph f(x) is negative, is (-∞, -5) ∪ (-1, ∞)

Original price is $50 but tax is 5% ,what is the new price?
Hunter-Best [27]
First, you find 5% of $50.

To do this, you times 50 by 0.05. This is because if you were to turn 5% into a decimal, with 1.0 being 100%, 5% would become 0.05.

50 x 0.05 = 2.5

After you have the amount, simply add it onto the original $50.

50 + 2.5 = 52.5

The new price is $52.5.
