<h3>Answer: Largest value is a = 9</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

b = 5

(2b)^2 = (2*5)^2 = 100

So we want the expression a^2+3b to be less than (2b)^2 = 100

We need to solve a^2 + 3b < 100 which turns into

a^2 + 3b < 100

a^2 + 3(5) < 100

a^2 + 15 < 100

after substituting in b = 5.

------------------

Let's isolate 'a'

a^2 + 15 < 100

a^2 < 100-15

a^2 < 85

a < sqrt(85)

a < 9.2195

'a' is an integer, so we round down to the nearest whole number to get a \le 9

So the greatest integer possible for 'a' is a = 9.

------------------

Check:

plug in a = 9 and b = 5

a^2 + 3b < 100

9^2 + 3(5) < 100

81 + 15 < 100

96 < 100 .... true statement

now try a = 10 and b = 5

a^2 + 3b < 100

10^2 + 3(5) < 100

100 + 15 < 100 ... you can probably already see the issue

115 < 100 ... this is false, so a = 10 doesn't work

Dennis is cutting construction paper into rectangles for a project he needs to cut one rectangle that is 12 inches times 15 1/4
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Dennis need 288.91 square inches of construction paper for his project.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dennis is cutting construction paper into rectangles for a project.

He needs to cut one rectangle that is 12 inches times 15 1/4 inches

First convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction

15\frac{1}{4} = \frac{(15\times4) + 1}{4} = \frac{61}{4}

So the area of 1st rectangle is

A_1 = 12\times \frac{61}{4} = 183 \: in^{2}

He needs to cut another rectangle that is 10 1/3"" x 10 1/4""

The symbol " means inches

First convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction

10\frac{1}{3} = \frac{(10\times3) + 1}{3} = \frac{31}{3}

10\frac{1}{4} = \frac{(10\times4) + 1}{4} = \frac{41}{4}

So the area of 2nd rectangle is

A_2 = \frac{31}{3}\times \frac{41}{4} = 105.91 \: in^{2}

The total construction paper needed for this project is

A = A_1 + A_2\\\\A = 183 + 105.91\\\\A = 288.91 \: in^{2}

Therefore, Dennis need 288.91 square inches of construction paper for his project.

Task 1
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

part 1 : y = x^2 + 3x + 5

y = x + 13

solution:

x^2 + 3x + 5 = x + 13

x^2 + 2x -8 = 0

(x+4)(x-2) = 0

x = -4 or x = 2

if x = -4, y = 9

if x = 2 , y = 15

part 2 : x^2 + 2x + 1 = 0

(x + 1)^2 = 0

x = -1

y = 1

task 2

part 1 : Let our two digit number be 26

Next, we rewrite it as a difference of two numbers

26=32-6

We want to square 26 using the identity:  

In this case,

x=32

y=6

Substituting into the identity
