A painter starts with a blank 24-inch by 12-inch piece of rice paper. The painter wants to leave a uniform border x inches wide

along the outer edges so that the painting can be framed.
a. Write a polynomial in standard form that represents the area of paper that can be painted.
b. What is the area of the paper that can be painted when the margin is 2 inches wide?

Answer:

a. A = x² - 36x + 288

b. If x = 2; A = 220 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>a.</h2>

In this scenario, 'x' represents the width of the border. A "uniform border" means that the border has the same width all around.

The area of the paper that can be painted does not include the border. Since the border is on the original rice paper (not added to it), you subtract 'x' from each side of the rice paper.

The area of a rectangle is A = lw (Area is length times width). <u>Each length and width is reduced by 'x'.</u>

If the original rice paper's area is: 24 X 12, then,

the Area that can be painted is:

A = (24 - x) (12 - x)

A polynomial in standard form means the most expanded version of an expression, ordering the terms (numbers) from greatest to least degree. (The degree of a term is the value of its exponent).

Expand the expression. Multiply the numbers from each bracket in the order FOIL (first, outside, inside last):

A = (24 - x) (12 - x)

= 288 - 24x - 12x + x²        Collect like terms (-24x - 12x = -36x)

= 288 - 36x + x²        Rearrange ordering greatest to least exponent value

= x² - 36x + 288        Standard form polynomial

<h2>b.</h2>

The width of the margin is the same thing as the width of the border. Since 'x' is the width of the border,

x = 2

Using either the expanded or factored equation for area of that can be painted, substitute 'x' for 2.

I will use the factored form.

A = (24 - x) (12 - x)        Substitute x for 2

= (24 - 2) (12 - 2)          Solve inside each bracket first by subtracting

= (22) (10)             Multiply

= 220                 Area that can be painted

Remember to include the units: 220 in²

Therefore if the margin is 2 inches wide, then the area that can be painted in 220 square inches.

The right triangle shown has angles X, Y, and Z and side lengths a, b, and
laiz [17]
So attached is a picture of the triangle you are talking about and listed under are the choices:

A.) Cos Z=b/c 
B.) Sin X=c/b 
C.) Tan X=b/a 
<span>D.) Tan Z=a/b
</span>
The answer would then be B. SinX = c/b.

Just remember SOH CAH TOA:

Sinθ=  Opposite         Cosθ =    Adjacent             Tanθ=   Opposite
         Hypotenuse                   Hypotenuse                        Adjacent

Using the triangle in the scenario, you just need to identify which side is which. 

Given m∠Z
Adjacent = b
Opposite = a
Hypotenuse = c

SinZ=  a         CosZ = b             TanZ= a 
            c                      c                        b

Given m∠X:

Adjacent = b
Opposite = a
Hypotenuse = c

SinX= <u> b </u>        CosX =<span><u> a </u></span>            TanX=<span><u> b </u></span>
            c                      c                        a

So the answer is B. 

Attached is a picture of how I assigned the sides depending on the angle used.

Find the sum of a finite geometric series. The Smiths spent $2,000 on clothes in a particular year. If they increase the amount
boyakko [2]

\bf \stackrel{\textit{first year}}{2000}~~,~~\stackrel{\textit{second year}}{2000+\stackrel{\textit{10\% of 2000}}{\frac{2000}{10}}}\implies 2200

now, if we take 2000 to be the 100%, what is 2200? well, 2200 is just 100% + 10%, namely 110%, and if we change that percent format to a decimal, we simply divide it by 100, thus \bf 110\%\implies \cfrac{110}{100}\implies 1.1.

so, 1.1 is the decimal number we multiply a term to get the next term, namely 1.1 is the common ratio.

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}\\\\S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad \begin{cases}n=n^{th}\ term\\a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\r=\textit{common ratio}\\----------\\a_1=2000\\r=1.1\\n=4\end{cases}\\\\\\S_4=2000\left[ \cfrac{1-(1.1)^4}{1-1.1} \right]\implies S_4=2000\left(\cfrac{-0.4641}{-0.1}  \right)\\\\\\S_4=2000(4.641)\implies S_4=9282

How do you solve 21/4=1/2x+3x and whats the answer?
MissTica
Hi there!

To solve is pretty easy. First, simplify.

21/4=(1/2x+3x) -> Combine Like Terms
21/4=7/2x
FLIP
7/2x=21/4

Multiply both sides by 2/7.
(2/7)*(7/2x)=(2/7)*(21/4)
x = 2/3

Hope this helps!
