Answer:

The correct option is C. 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have that the perimeter of a rectangle = (2·length) + (2·width)

⇒perimeter of a rectangle = [2·( x + 7)] + [2·(2x - 3)]

⇒ 32 = [2·( x + 7)] + [2·(2x - 3)] ⇒ 32 = (2x + 14) + (4x - 6)

⇒ 32 = 6x + 8 ⇒ 32 - 8 = 6x ⇒ 24= 6x ⇒ 24/6 = x ⇒ x = 4. ⇒ 3x= 12.

Foil: (x+9)(3x-4)

QveST [7]

QUESTION 1

The given binomial is;

$(x+9)(3x-4)$

First terms are multiplied: $x\times 3x=3x^2$

Outside terms are multiplied: $x\times -4=-4x$

Inside terms are multiplied: $9\times 3x=27x$

Last terms are Multiplied: $9\times -4=-36$

This gives us;

$=3x^2-4x+27x-36$

$=3x^2+23x-36$

QUESTION 2

We want to factor

$6r^5s+4r^4s^2-8r^2s$

The HCF is $2r^2s$

We factor to get;

$2r^2s(3r^3+2r^2s-4)$

QUESTION 3;

$x^2+x-2=0$

Split the middle term;

$x^2+2x-x-2=0$

Factor

$x(x+2)-1(x+2)=0$

$(x+2)(x-1)=0$

$(x+2)=0,(x-1)=0$

$x=-2,x=1$

The solutions are;

$x=-2$ and $x=1$

These are the x-intercepts of the graph of the function

$f(x)=x^2+x-2$

The data set shows the ages of the members of a book club, What is the shape of the distribution of this data set?

Charra [1.4K]

Symmetrical because the numbers in a bar graph show sort of a pyramid-like shape, rather than a skewed or flatter shape.

Probability of success =

   (number of possibilities that would be considered successful)
divided by
   (total number of different possible outcomes) .

Total number of different possible outcomes =

   total number of different possible values of the last 2 digits

   = the quantity of numbers from 00 to 99

   = 100 of them .

The number of possibilities that will match your age = only 1 .

Probability that the last 2 digits match your age = 1/100 = 0.01 = 1 % .
