The answer is B. 4 3⁄8 yards. The amount of material needed for the jacket is: x = 2 5/8 yd = 2 + 5/8 = 16/8 + 5/8 = (16+5)/8 = 21/8 yd. The amount of material needed for the skirt is: y = 1 3/4 yd = 1 + 3/4 = 4/4 + 3/4 = (4+3)/4 = 7/4 yd. The total amount of material Jane needs is: x + y = 21/8 + 7/4 = 21/8 + 14/8 = (21+14)/8 = 35/8 = (32+3)/8 = 32/8 + 3/8 = 4 + 3/8 = 4 3/8 yd.
This is a stupid question. The teacher who asked this needs to go back to school.
A = x⁴ - 9y²
That's going to be a number. As long as it's positive we can choose any length for our rectangle L and we can compute the width by W=A/L. So the correct answer is the dimensions are L by (x⁴ - 9y²)/L.
They don't want the correct answer. They want you to factor this expression. We'll do it, but don't believe for a second this factoring somehow constrains the possible dimensions of some rectangle.
We use the difference of two squares, a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b)
A = x⁴ - 9y² = (x²)² - (3y)² = (x²+3y)(x²-3y)
Answer: x²+3y by x²-3y
