1- El area de un cuadrado es igual a 8 veces la medida de su lado ¿ Cuánto mide por lado el cuadrado?​
Papessa [141]
El área de un cuadrado es igual a 8 veces la medida de su lado. ¿Cuánto mide por lado el cuadrado ?

El Area de un Cuadrado es : A = L²

L² = 8 x L -------------> L² / L = 8 ----------> L = 8

Cada lado mide 8 unidades.

2) El triple del área de un cuadrado menos seis veces la medida de su lado es igual a cero ¿Cuánto mide por lado el cuadrado?

El Area de un Cuadrado es : A = L²

(3 x L²) - 6 L = 0

Factorizando : 3L ( L - 2 ) = 0 --------> L = 0 ; L = 2

Cada lado mide 2 unidades.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Hence, a carpenter can paint a maximum of 7 chairs.

Hence, option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A carpenter has less than 120 min. to spend painting furniture each day.

Today, he has spent 30.5 min. painting a desk.

Now he will paint x chairs, each of which takes 12.5 min.

i.e. he will take a total of 12.5x minutes in painting 'x' chairs.

Also total time spent on painting furniture each day will be equal to time spent on painting a desk and all of the chairs.

Hence,

30.5+12.5x<120 (since the total time he spends on painting is less than 120 mins.)

⇒ 12.5 x<120-30.5

⇒ 12.5 x<89.5

⇒ x<7.16  ( on dividing both side of the inequality with 12.5)

Hence, a carpenter can paint a maximum of 7 chairs.

Explain why rational exponents are not defined when the denominator of the exponent in lowest terms is even and the base is nega
Mice21 [21]
<span><u><em>The correct answer is: </em></u>
we cannot take an even root of a negative number in the real number system.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u><span><u><em>: </em></u>
A rational exponent is another way of writing a root. The denominator of the rational exponent will be the root, and the numerator will be the power of the number under the root. If the denominator is even, this means we are taking an even root, such as square root, 4th root, etc.
If the base is negative, this means we want an even root of a negative number.
Any even root can be broken down into a series of square roots, done one after another.
However, we cannot take the square root of a negative number using real numbers; this is because a square root is a number multiplied by itself to get the answer; a negative times a negative is a positive, as is a positive times a positive, so there is no way to multiply the same number twice and get a negative.</span></span>
