Answer:

19 in and 26 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shorter piece be x

Then the longer piece is x + 7

x + x + 7 = 45
2x = 45 - 7
2x = 38
x = 19

Short piece = 19 in

Long piece = 26 in

Factor the quadratic expression in the equation y=2x^2+28x+96 and use the factors to find the zeros of the equation. Then, use t

gavmur [86]

Answer:

$x=-7$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation $y=2x^2+28x+96$ . We are asked to find the zeros of equation by factoring and then find the line of symmetry of the parabola.

Let us factor our given equation as:

$2x^2+28x+96=0$

Dividing both sides by 2:

$x^2+14x+48=0$

Splitting the middle term:

$x^2+6x+8x+48=0$

$(x^2+6x)+(8x+48)=0$

$x(x+6)+8(x+6)=0$

$(x+8)(x+6)=0$

Using zero product property:

$(x+8)=0\text{ (or) }(x+6)=0$

$x+8=0\text{ (or) }x+6=0$

$x=-8\text{ (or) }x=-6$

Therefore, the zeros of the given equation are $x=-8\text{ (or) }x=-6$ .

We know that the line of symmetry of a parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of vertex of parabola.

We also know that x-coordinate of vertex of parabola is equal to the average of zeros. So x-coordinate of vertex of parabola would be:

$\frac{-8+(-6)}{2}=\frac{-14}{2}=-7$

Therefore, the equation $x=-7$ represents the line of symmetry of the given parabola.

Susan is going to watch a movie in her collection she has 5 action movies 4comedies and 3 dramas she will randomly select one mo

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

9/12 or 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first add the choices all up.

5+4+3= 12.

We have 12 movie choices in total.

Now, we know that we have 3 drama movie choices...so the chance we will choose drama is 3/12, but we are not finding that. We want the chance she will NOT choose drama, so that would be 9/12.

*Since the chance she will choose drama is 3/12, the chance she will not choose is 9/12. 9+3 is 12, the total amout.*
