Does anyone know what 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 is because I keep getting 32 1/2, but the answer is 38 1/2? If you know, please explain.

These steps may help you out!

8 1/2 = 17/2

4 1/2 = 9/2

To get this you do⬆8(2) =16 + 1 = 17/2 ; 4(2) = 8 + 1 = 9/2

Change the problem to:

17/2 (9/2)

17(9)/2(2) = ?

So, 17(9) / 2(2) = 153 / 4

153 / 4 as a mixed fraction/number: 38 1/4

Determine the values of the variables in the parallelograms below help me please

Answer:

Part 1)

$x=-11$

$m=170\°$

Part 2)

$x=-5, x=1$

$m=-10, m=14$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a parallelogram opposite sides and opposite angles are congruent, and consecutive angles are supplementary

Part 1)

<u>Find the value of x</u>

$25=-3x-8$ ----> opposite sides are congruent

solve for x

$25=-3x-8$

$3x=-8-25$

$x=-33/3=-11$

<u>Find the value of m</u>

$(70+(m-60))=180\°$ ----> consecutive angles are supplementary

solve for m

$m=180\°-10\°=170\°$

Part 2)

<u>Find the value of x</u>

$5=x^{2}+4x$ ---> opposite sides are congruent

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure N 1

The solutions are

$x=-5, x=1$

<u>Find the value of m</u>

$(m^{2}-4m)=140\°$ ---> opposite sides are congruent

solve for m

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure N 2

The solutions are

$m=-10, m=14$

You decide to go to the candy store in the mall. You arrive at the store with $25 and then purchase 3 candy bars. You then buy a

Yuri [45]

Answer:

<h2> The cost of a candy is $1.25</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

given the total amount at hand is $25

let the price of candy be x

then the cost of 3 candy will be 3x

the cost of a candy snake is $12.50.

balance at hand after the end of buying $8.75

the total expenses summed up must equal the initial amount at hand which is $25

the expression for the scenario is 3x+12.5+8.75=25

3x+21.25=25

3x=25-21.25

3x=3.75

x=3.75/3

x=$1.25

The cost of a candy is $1.25

The function f(x) is a quadratic function and a limited table of values is provided below. Write the equation of the quadratic p

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

f(x) = 3x^2 -21x +36

Step-by-step explanation:

The table gives the x- and y-intercepts, which are sufficient to write the equation in factored form. The x-intercepts of 3 and 4 tell you that factors are (x -3)(x -4). When x=0, this product is (-3)(-4) = 12, but the y-intercept value is 3 times that: 36. So, the factored equation is ...

f(x) = 3(x -3)(x -4)

Multiplying this out, we get ...

f(x) = 3(x^2 -7x +12)

f(x) = 3x^2 -21x +36
