Add two like terms: 16x+(-9x)=7x
Add 15 to both sides: 7x=28
Divide 7 on both sides: x=4

satela [25.4K]

Convert the percentages in decimals:
90/100 = 0.9, 20/100 = 0.2

Multiply the decimals:
0.9 times 0.2 is 0.18, or 18%

Greg has an 18% chance of being elected both positions.

Consider the function f(x) = 4x² - x + 3. What is f(1)?

zhannawk [14.2K]

Replace every x you see in the function with 1 and simplify.

Let x be 1.

f(1) = 4(1)^2 -(1) + 3

f(1) = 4(1) - 1 + 3

f(1) = 4 - 1 + 3

f(1) = 3 + 3

f(1) = 6

Done!

.. Which of the following are the coordinates of the vertices of the following square with sides of length a?

atroni [7]

Option A: $O(0,0), S(0,a), T(a,a), W(a,0)$

Option D: $O(0,0), S(a,0), T(a,a), W(0,a)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A: $O(0,0), S(0,a), T(a,a), W(a,0)$

To find the sides of a square, let us use the distance formula,

$d=\sqrt{\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right)^{2}}$

Now, we shall find the length of the square,

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Length } O S=\sqrt{(0-0)^{2}+(a-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a} \\{\text { Length } S T=\sqrt{(a-0)^{2}+(a-a)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a} \\{\text { Length } T W=\sqrt{(a-a)^{2}+(0-a)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a} \\{\text { Length } O W=\sqrt{(a-0)^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a}\end{array}$

Thus, the square with vertices $O(0,0), S(0,a), T(a,a), W(a,0)$ has sides of length a.

Option B: $O(0,0), S(0,a), T(2a,2a), W(a,0)$

Now, we shall find the length of the square,

$\begin{aligned}&\text { Length } O S=\sqrt{(0-0)^{2}+(a-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a\\&\text {Length } S T=\sqrt{(2 a-0)^{2}+(2 a-a)^{2}}=\sqrt{5 a^{2}}=a \sqrt{5}\\&\text {Length } T W=\sqrt{(a-2 a)^{2}+(0-2 a)^{2}}=\sqrt{2 a^{2}}=a \sqrt{2}\\&\text {Length } O W=\sqrt{(a-0)^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a\end{aligned}$

This is not a square because the lengths are not equal.

Option C: $O(0,0), S(0,2a), T(2a,2a), W(2a,0)$

Now, we shall find the length of the square,

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Length OS }=\sqrt{(0-0)^{2}+(2 a-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{4 a^{2}}=2 a} \\{\text { Length } S T=\sqrt{(2 a-0)^{2}+(2 a-2 a)^{2}}=\sqrt{4 a^{2}}=2 a} \\{\text { Length } T W=\sqrt{(2 a-2 a)^{2}+(0-2 a)^{2}}=\sqrt{4 a^{2}}=2 a} \\{\text { Length } O W=\sqrt{(2 a-0)^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{4 a^{2}}=2 a}\end{array}$

Thus, the square with vertices $O(0,0), S(0,2a), T(2a,2a), W(2a,0)$ has sides of length 2a.

Option D: $O(0,0), S(a,0), T(a,a), W(0,a)$

Now, we shall find the length of the square,

$\begin{aligned}&\text { Length OS }=\sqrt{(a-0)^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a\\&\text { Length } S T=\sqrt{(a-a)^{2}+(a-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a\\&\text { Length } T W=\sqrt{(0-a)^{2}+(a-a)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a\\&\text { Length } O W=\sqrt{(0-0)^{2}+(a-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a\end{aligned}$

Thus, the square with vertices $O(0,0), S(a,0), T(a,a), W(0,a)$ has sides of length a.

Thus, the correct answers are option a and option d.
