Answer:

24 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of Polygon PQRSTU = sum of all its side lengths = PQ + QR + RS + ST + TU + PU

PQ = |-4 -(-2)| = 2 units

QR = |4 - 2| = 2 units

RS = |-2 - 2| = 4 units

ST = |2 -(-2)| = 4 units

TU = |2 -(-4)| = 6 units

PU = |4 - (-2)| = 6 units

Perimeter of Polygon PQRSTU = 2 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 6 + 6 = 24 units

A group of students organized a car wash to raise money for a local charity. The students charged $5.00 for each car they washed

Gala2k [10]

The students will earn $180 by washing cars for 9 hours.

In 3 hours the students will earn...

$5 x 12 = $60

5 dollars x 12 cars = 60 dollars

So in 3 hours the group of students will earn $60

In 9 hours the students will earn...

$60 x 3 = $180

Since the students will earn $60 per every 3 hours, you multiply $60 with 3 because if you divide 9 hours by 3 hours you will get 3. The answer you get by multiplying 60 by 3 is 180. Therefore the students can earn $180 from washing cars.

I hope this helps!

Find the value of x² - x+1 when x=√3 -1, in the form a+b√3 where a and b are integers

lidiya [134]

Answer:

$6-3\sqrt{3}$

If you compare this to $a+b\sqrt{3}$ , then $a=6$ and $b=-3$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given $x=\sqrt{3}-1$ and we are asked to find the value of $x^2-x+1$ .

So we will need to find $x^2$ .

$x=\sqrt{3}-1$

Square both sides:

$x^2=(\sqrt{3}-1)^2$

Expand using identity: $(x-a)^2=x^2-2ax+a^2$ .

$x^2=(\sqrt{3})^2-2(\sqrt{3})(1)+1^2$

$x^2=3-2\sqrt{3}+1$

$x^2=4-2\sqrt{3}$

Let's go back to the full $x^2-x+1$ .

$x^2-x+1$

$(4-2\sqrt{3})-(\sqrt{3}-1)+1$

$4-2\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{3}+1+1$

$6-3\sqrt{3}$

If you compare this to $a+b\sqrt{3}$ , then $a=6$ and $b=-3$ .

Evaluate the following expression:<br>p/-3 + (-8)= -8

aalyn [17]

P/-3+(-8)=-8
p/-3-8=-8
Add 8 to each side
p/-3-8+8=-8+8
p/-3=0
Multiply both side by 3
p/-3(3)=0(3)
p=0
Check:
p/-3+(-8)=-8
Substitute p with 0
0/-3+(-8)=-8
0-8=-8
-8=-8. As a result, p=0. Hope it help!

Which equation is the direct variation equation if f(x) varies directly with x and f(x)=-18 when x=3

Otrada [13]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation}\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{f(x)}{y}=kx\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
y=-18\\
x=3
\end{cases}\implies -18=k3
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-18}{3}=k\implies -6=k\qquad therefore\qquad \boxed{\stackrel{f(x)}{y}=-6x}$
