Answer:
8 intersections
Step-by-step explanation:
Miss Stevens drove through a total of 36 intersections on her way home from work last week.
At four of every 16 intersections Miss Stevens had to stop for a red light before she could drive through .
This is calculated as:
36 intersections ÷ 16 intersections
= 2 4/16
= 2 1/4
At four of every 16 intersections Miss Stevens had to stop for a red light before she could drive through .
4 of every 16 intersections = stop for a red light
Hence:
16/4 = 4 intersections
Hence: 4 intersections = 1 stop for a read
The number of intersections that Miss Stevens had to stop for a red light is:
2 × 4 intersections = 8 intersections
Answer:Wish i could help, but I'm just as confused.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Subbing in:
a = 9, b = -2, c = -7
The product of a and c is the aboslute value of -63, so a*c = 63. We need 2 factors of 63 that will add to give us -2. The factors of 63 are {1, 63}, (3, 21}, {7, 9}. It looks like the combination of -9 and +7 will work because -9 + 7 = -2. Plug in accordingly:
Group together in groups of 2:
Now factor out what's common within each set of parenthesis:
We know this combination "works" because the terms inside the parenthesis are identical. We can now factor those out and what's left goes together in another set of parenthesis:
Remember that
so we sub back in and continue to factor. This was originally a fourth degree polynomial; that means we have 4 solutions.
The first two solutions are found withing the first set of parenthesis and the second two are found in other set of parenthesis. Factoring gives us that x = 1 and -1. The other set is a bit more tricky. If
then
and
You cannot take the square root of a negative number without allowing for the imaginary component, i, so we do that:
±
which will simplify down to
±
Those are the 4 solutions to the quartic equation.
I think it 1/4 i could be wrong
Squares, rectangles, and parallelograms.
