A = LW
A = 120
W = L - 2

120 = L(L-2)
120 = L^2 - 2L
L^2 - 2L - 120 = 0
(L - 12)(L + 10) = 0

L - 12 = 0
L = 12

L + 10 = 0
L = -10 (extraneous solution...will not work)

length (L) = 12 ft
width (W) = L - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10 ft

This seems like a concept you’re going to learn and use so I’ll do a problem per section and explain.

Well basically this is a concept: if it’s a negative exponent it’s just 1/number^exponent.

So for example:
#1. 1/(10)^2 = 10^-2

The standard notation:
#9: You know that 1/(10)^3 you could either put it in a calculator or realize that you take the number 1, and move the decimal to the left three times. 0.001 would be the answer.

Scientific notation:
combines these topics. Let’s take #17. 0.025. Scientific notation means you write it as a number multiplied by 10^? So let’s see how many places you can move the decimal to get a number without the zeros.

0.025 => move it two places to the right. So that’s 2.5. Now 2.5 multiplied by what 10^? Would give you 0.025? It would be 10^-2. So your answer would be 2.5 x 10^-2.

For all of these, use your knowledge of the power of tens and dividing by tens! ^^ you got this. Let me know if you need help after this explanation.

You are playing a game where you draw a card from a standard deck, and you will win $13 if you draw a face card,
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

win

There are 3 face cards / suit. Every suit contains a Jack, Queen, and king.

There are 4 suits so the number of face cards is 3*4 =  12

There is 1 ace / suit

There are 4 suits so the number of aces is 1 * 4 = 4

The gain from the face cards = 12 * 13 = 156

The gain from the aces = 4 * 3 =               12

Total gain = 168

Losses

Any other card costs you $5

How many cards is that? 52 - 16 = 36

Each one costs 5 dollars

Total loss = 5 * 36 = 180

So each time you play the game, you can expect to lose 180 - 68 = 12 dollars. You should walk away quickly from this one.

F(X)= 2x^2 +1. Find and simplify af(X)+b and f(ax+b)
kati45 [8]
Hello,

f(x)=2x²+1
f(ax+b)=2(ax+b)²+1=2(a²x²+2abx+b²)+1=2a²x²+4abx+2b²+1

af(x)+b=a(2x²+1)+b=2ax²+a+b

And f(ax+b)≠af(x)+b not linear
