Since q(x) is inside p(x), find the x-value that results in q(x) = 1/4

so we conclude that

therefore

plug

into p( q(x) ) to get answer


Green area - triangle area = 72-9 = 63 square feet
Answer:
53.33
Step-by-step explanation:
finding area of ΔPAM
using similar triangles

16 = 12x; x = 
ΔPAM = 4/3 * 4 * 1/2 = 16/6 = 8/3
ΔPAL = 4 * 12 * 1/2 = 24
24 + 8/3 = 80/3 (using fraction form for now, will round later)
since there are two ΔPLM (ΔLMU has same area since they are congruent)
we can multiply 80/3 by 2
80/3 * 2 = 160/3 = 53.33
In combinatorics, this question is a combination question, because combination deals with selection while permutations deal with arrangement.

Plugging in our values,

That means 3 desserts from a tray of 8 desserts 56 times.
