Answer:

(a) The largest square side is 24 inches

(b) No. of pieces are 14

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question:

The dimensions of the fabric are 48 in\times 168 in

(a)To calculate the side length of the largest square piece, we need to find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the dimensions as:

48 = 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3

168 = 2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 7

Therefore,

The GCF of the dimensions = 48 = 2\times 2\times 2\times 3 = 24

Therefore, the largest side of  a square that can be cut from the fabric is 24 inches.

(b) The no. of pieces of 24 inches that can be cut from the fabric can be given as:

No. of pieces = \frac{Total\ Area}{Area\ of\ largest\ square}

No. of pieces = \frac{48\times 168}{24\times 24} =  14

Answer:

a.24 inches

b.14

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Length of piece of fabric=48 inches

Width of piece of fabric=168 inches

a.We have to find the side length of the largest square piece.

To find HCF (48,168)

48=2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3

168=2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 7

HCF(48,168)=2\times 2\times 2\times 3=24

Hence, the largest side of square=24 inches.

b.We have to find number of pieces of square.

Area of rectangle=length \times breadth

Area of rectangle=48\times 168=8064 in^2

Area of square=side\times side

Area of square=24\times 24=576 in^2

Number of piece of square=\frac{8064}{576}=14

Hence, the number of piece of square=14

Write a polynomial in factored form that has the given zeros:
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

f(x) = (x + 4)^2*(x - 5)^3

Step-by-step explanation:

For a polynomial P(x) with zeros (or roots):

x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ

And a leading coefficient (the one that multiplies the term of highest degree) A, we can write the polynomial as:

P(x) = A*(x - x₁)*(x - x₂)*...*(x - xₙ)

Now, some of these roots can be repeated.

For example if x₁ = x₂

Then we say that the root x₁ has a multiplicity of two.

And we write the polynomial as:

P(x) = A*(x - x₁)^2*(x - x₃)*....*(x - xₙ)

Now, if we have a polynomial with the roots (or zeros):

Zero at -4 with a multiplicity of 2 (we have the root x = -4 two times)

Zero at 5 with a multiplicity of 3 (we have the root x = 5  3 times)

(And a leading coefficient A =  1, I assume)

This polynomial will be written as:

f(x) = (x - (-4))*(x - (-4))*(x - 5)*(x - 5)*(x - 5)

f(x) = (x + 4)*(x + 4)*(x - 5)*(x - 5)*(x - 5)

f(x) = (x + 4)^2*(x - 5)^3

The correct option is the third one:
