I believe the answer would be 15,626 , since to find the square inches you just multiple to two measurements together, hope this is right

Answer: 12 squares.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two lenghts, 108in and 144in, and we want to divide it in squares (remember that the squares have the same lenght in both sides)

So we need to find a common factor between 108 and 144, and if we want to find the minimum number of squares used, we need to find the bigger common factor betwen those two numbers (if we use bugher lengths for the square sides, we will use less squares) To find it we chose the smaller number and we divide it by 2

108/2 = 54

This number divides the other?

144/54 = 2.66 is not a integer number, so 54 is not a common factor.

now we try with 108/3 = 36

and we try:

144/36 = 4

So 36 is a common factor

And we have:

144/36 = 4

108/36 = 3

so the total number of squares is 4*3 = 12

1. Solve for the x and y intercepts:
aleksandrvk [35]
To find the x-intercept, you simply make y equal to 0 and solve the equation for x. To find the y-intercept, you make x equal to 0 and solve for y. So, for number 1, the answer is D because when you set it to y equals 0, you get x=3 and when you set it to x equals 0, you get 4. 
Number 2 we would do the same thing and get D as well.
Hope this helps!

Joe can cut and split a cord of firewood in 3 fewer hours than Dwight can. When they work​ together, it takes them 2 hours. How
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take 3 hours to finish the job alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the time taken by Dwight to split a cord of firewood  = K hrs

So, the per hour rate of Dwight  = (\frac{1}{K})

As, Joe uses 3 LESS hours then Dwight.

So, the time taken by Joe to split a cord of firewood  = (K- 3) hrs

So, the per hour rate of Joe  = (\frac{1}{K-3})

Now, when both of them wok together, it takes them 2 hours.

So, the per hour rate of BOTH of them  = (\frac{1}{2})

⇒ Per hour rate of ( Dwight  + Joe)  =(\frac{1}{2} )

\implies (\frac{1}{K}) +  (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})

Now, solving for the value of K , we get:

(\frac{1}{K}) +  (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies  \frac{(K-3) + K}{K (K-3)}  = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies 2(2K -3) = K^2 - 3K\\\implies k^2 - 3K -4K +6 = 0\\\implies K^2 - 7K  + 6=  0\\\implies K^2 - 6K - K  + 6=  0\\\implies K(K-6) -1(K - 6)=  0\\\implies (K-6)(K-1) = 0

Implies either K = 6 Or K = 1

But if K = 1, (K-3)  = 1- 3  = -2 hours would be A CONTRADICTION.

⇒ K  = 6 hours

Hence, Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take (k-3) = (6-3) = 3 hours to finish the job alone.

Two consecutive odd integers have a sum of 32. Find the integers.
bezimeni [28]
Let
x = first consecutive odd
x + 2 = second consecutive odd

Based on the problem, we equate
x + (x + 2) = 32
Solving for x,
2x + 2 = 32
2x = 32 - 2
2x = 30
x = 30/2
x = 15
and x + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17

Therefore, the integers are 15 and 17.

Help with Pre Calculus
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The first option

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a rational function should be all real numbers except for when the denominator is equal to 0. To find when the denominator is equal to 0 you simply need to find the zeroes of the denominator... but in this case you can do that through factoring and using the quadratic equation.

So first step is going to be to factor out the GCF, which in this case is x. This gives you the equation. x(2x^2-x-15). So one of the zeroes is when x=0. Now to find the other two zeroes you can use the quadratic equation which is x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\. So to find the other zeroes you simply plug the values in. a=2, b=-1, c=-15

x=\frac{-(-1)\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(2)(-15)}}{2(2)}\\\\x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{1-4(2)(-15)}}{4}\\\\x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{121)}}{4}\\\\x=\frac{1\pm11}{4}\\\\x=\frac{12}{4}\\x=3\\\\x=\frac{-10}{4}\\x=-\frac{5}{2}
