Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

45 = (b(4b - 2))/2

90 = 4b2 - 2b

4b2 - 2b - 90 = 0

(2b + 9)(2b - 10) = 0

 

2b + 9 = 0  

2b = -9

b = -9/2

If we were looking for zeroes, this would be an answer, but since we're looking for measurement, we don't use negative numbers.

90 = 4b2 - 2b

4b2 - 2b - 90 = 0

(2b + 9)(2b - 10) = 0

 

2b + 9 = 0  

2b = -9

b = -9/2

Answer:

The width is 5 inches and the height is 18 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle can be calculated as:

A = w*h/2

where w is the width of the base, and h is the height.

then we have that:

w*h/2 = 45 in^2

and the height is 2 less than 4 times the width.

h = 4*w - 2in

then we have a system with 2 equations:

w*h/2 = 45 in^2

h = 4*w - 2in

We can replace the second one in the first one and solve it for w.

w*(4*2 - 2in)/2 = 45 in^2

2w^2 - w = 45in^2

2w^2 - w - 45in = 0

then we have to solve the quadratic equation:

the solutions are:

w = (1 +- √(1^2 - 4*2*(-45))/(2*2) = (1 + - √361)/4

where we have two solutions for w, one for each sign of the square root.

we obviously need to take the positive solution (because we can not have a negative length)

w = (1 + √361)/4 = 5in

now, we can replace it in the equation "h = 4*w - 2in" to get the height.

h = 4*5in - 2in = 18in

How does finding the greatest common factor help you to solve real world problem
Mashcka [7]
Greatest Common Factors (GCF) can help you in real life problems with fractions and measuring things. Below is a real life example.

Let's say you want to send cookies into one of two classes and want to make sure you have an even number per student. You know that one class has 8 students and the other has 10 students. How many cookies do you make?

Answer: All you have to do is figure out the biggest number that goes into each number equally (division). In this case the answer would be 2.

Divide f(x) by d(x), and write a summary statement in the form indicated.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The correct option is B)  f(x) =(x^2+1)(x^2+4x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

f(x) = x^4 + 4x^3 + 6x^2 + 4x + 5 and d(x) = x^2+1

We need to divide f(x) by d(x)

As we know: Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

In the above function f(x) is dividend and divisor is d(x)

Divide the leading term of the dividend by the leading term of the divisor:\frac{x^4}{x^2}=x^2

Write the calculated result in upper part of the table.

Multiply it by the divisor: x^2(x^2+1)=x^4+x^2

Now Subtract the dividend from the obtained result:

(x^4 + 4x^3 + 6x^2 + 4x + 5)-(x^4-x^2)=4x^3+5x^2+4x+5

Again divide the leading term of the obtained remainder by the leading term of the divisor: \frac{4x^3}{x^2}=4x

Write the calculated result in upper part of the table.

Multiply it by the divisor: 4x(x^2+1)=4x^3+4x

Subtract the dividend:

(4x^3+5x^2+4x+5)-(4x^3+4x)=5x^2+5

Divide the leading term of the obtained remainder by the leading term of the divisor: \frac{5x^2}{x^2}=5

Multiply it by the divisor: 5(x^2+1)=5x^2+5

Subtract the dividend:

(5x^2+5)-(5x^2+5)=0

Therefore,

Dividend = x^4 + 4x^3 + 6x^2 + 4x + 5

Divisor = x^2+1

Quotient = x^2+4x+5

Remainder = 0

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

f(x) = (x^2+1)(x^2+4x+5)

Hence, the correct option is B)  f(x) =(x^2+1)(x^2+4x+5)
