Step-by-step explanation:
Options
Required
Select the unit rates
Unit rate involve two items where the first item being measured can be any positive number, but the second item must be measured in units (i.e. 1)
For clarity:
If represents unit rate, then
Having said that:
Only and
satisfy the condition of unit rates; others are not because they have a denominator other than 1
The expression which represents the perimeter P of the rectangle as a function of L is:
The length and width of a rectangle are denoted by L and W respectively.
Also the diagonal of a rectangle is: 10 inches.
We know that the diagonal of a rectangle in terms of L and W are given by:
( Since, the diagonal of a rectangle act as a hypotenuse of the right angled triangle and we use the Pythagorean Theorem )
Hence, we have:
But we know that width can't be negative. It has to be greater than 0.
Hence, we have:
Now, we know that the Perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
Here we have:
The distributive property lets you group or ungroup terms using parentheses. It lets you multiply an external factor by every term in parentheses, expressing the result as a sum:
... a(b + c) = ab + ac . . . . . . factor <em>a</em> multiplies the terms <em>b</em> and <em>c</em>
and it lets you remove a common factor from different terms, putting that factor outside parentheses:
... ab + ac = a(b + c)
The letters <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, <em>c</em> here can stand for any number or expression.
<h3>Homework</h3>20. To do this problem, you need to eliminate the parentheses using the distributive property. Then, "collect terms," which is another application of the distributive property. The external factor outside the parentheses is (-2/3). Multiply that by each term in parentheses, and add the results.
After that, recognize that c is a factor of two of the terms. Add their coefficients to simplify that sum to one term.
22. You are to evaluate the expression with x=2 two ways: as is, and after you simplify it by combining like terms.
<u>As is:</u>
<u>Simplified:</u>
I prefer simplifying the expression first. The number of calculations and chances for error are reduced.
23. It is convenient to check for equivalence after simplifying both expressions.
<u>First Expression:</u>
<u>Second Expression:</u>
The simplified forms of the expressions are identical, so we conclude the expressions are equivalent.
25. The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width. Here, you are asked to simplify the product of (3+x) ft and 3 ft.
In the last form of this expression, we have used "standard form" which has the degree of the variable decreasing in terms left to right. The units are factored out to make the expression a bit less cumbersome.
