Answer:

18 units

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's list out the sides.

for the first square let's just call them x

for the second square then they would be x+5 and x-3

So let's write out their areas we will cal the area of the first one z

x*x = z

(x+5)*(x-3) = z+21

since z = x^2 we can set up the second equation as a quadratic.

(x+5)*(x-3) = x^2 + 21

x^2 - 3x + 5x - 15 = x^2 + 21

But look, the x^2s cancel out

2x - 15 = 21

2x = 36

x = 18

Test it out and see if it fits the description, And if you don't understand anything just let me know so I can explain more.

Mr. See weights his grades. Tests are worth 60%, quizzes are worth 25% and homework is 15%. Joey's test average is an 82, his qu
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

83.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Joey's current grade can be determined by weighting his scores with the weights given and adding the results

Tests = 0.6 x 82 = 49.2

Quizzes = 0.25 x 77 = 19.25

homework = 0.15 x 98 = 14.7

49.2 + 19.25 + 14.7 = 83.15

The polynomial p(x)=x^3-6x^2+32p(x)=x 3 −6x 2 +32p, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, equals, x, cubed, minus, 6, x, squar
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

(x-4)(x-4)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given p(x) = x^3-6x^2+32 when it is divided by  x - 4, the quotient gives

x^2-2x-8

Q(x) = P(x)/d(x)

x^3-6x^2+32/x- 4  =  x^2-2x-8

Factorizing the quotient

x^2-2x-8

x^2-4x+2x-8

x(x-4)+2(x-4)

(x-4)(x+2)

Hence the polynomial as a product if linear terms is (x-4)(x-4)(x+2)
