1. Question 1: The area of a rectangular carpet is given by the trinomial 5x^2 - 3x - 14. What are the possible dimensions of the carpet? Use factoring.

Answer: 5x^2 -3x -14

Explanation:

You might probe the different pairs of factors given in the answer choices to check wich product is equal to the oirginal polynomial or you can factor from zero.

I will show you how to factor that polynomial from zero:

1) given: 5x^2 - 3x - 14

2) multiply and divide by the leading coefficient =>

5 [5x^2 - 3x -14 ]
----------------------
 5

3) Enter the the factor 5 inside the parenthesis:

5.5x^2 - 5.3x - 5.14
--------------------------
 5

4) rearrange conviniently to show (5x) as a common factir of the first two terms

(5x)^2 - 3(5x) - 70
--------------------------
 5

5) factor the numerator using 5x as common term of the two binomials:

(5x ) ( 5x ) <----> open the parenthesis
(5x - ) (5x + ) <-----> include the signs
(5x - 10) (5x + 7) <---> two numbers that add up - 3 and their product is - 70

=>

(5x - 10)(5x + 7)
---------------------
 5

6) divide (5x - 10) by 5 => x - 2

7) factored expression

(x - 2) (5x + 7)

8) Conclusion: the answer is the option B. (5x + 7) and (x - 2)

2. Question 2. The area of a rectangular barnyard is given by the trinomial 6x^2 + 7x – 20. What are the possible dimensions of the barnyard? Use factoring

Answer: option C. (2x + 5)(3x - 4)

Explanation:

The procedure is the same of the question 1.

1) given: 6x^2 + 7x - 20

2) multiply numerator and denominator by 6 and rearrange to show (6x) as common factor ot the first two terms =>

(6x)^2 + 7(6x) - 120
--------------------------
 6
3) factor the numerador using 6x as common factor ot two binomials, and simplify:

(6x + )(6x - )
(6x + )(6x - )
(6x + 15) (6x - 8)

=>

(6x + 15)(6x -8)
---------------------
 6

(6x + 15)(6x - 8)
---------------------- =
 3.2

(6x + 15) (6x - 8)
------------- . ------------ =
 3 2

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

4) answer: option C. (2x + 5)(3x - 4)

9mph in still water it takes 5hrs longer to travel 74 miles upstream than downstream find the rate of current and round to neare

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The rate of current is 2.5 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed in the water when current is absent is 9 mph.

If the speed of the current is v mph then the upstream speed is (9 - v) mph and the downstream speed is (9 + v) mph.

Now, it takes 5 hours longer to travel 74 miles upstream than down stream, then we can write the equation as

$\frac{74}{9 - v} - \frac{74}{9 + v} = 5$

⇒ $\frac{2v}{81 - v^{2} } = \frac{5}{74}$

⇒ 148v = 405 - 5v²

⇒ 5v² + 148v - 405 = 0

Applying Sridhar Acharya's formula we can write

$v = \frac{-148 + \sqrt{148^{2} - 4(5)(-405) } }{2(5)}$ (Neglecting the negative root)

⇒ $v = \frac{- 148 + 173.2166}{10} = 2.5$ mph (Rounded to the nearest 10th) (Answer)

Angles 1 and 2 are supplementary. Angle 2 is 1/5 the size of angle 1. What are the degree measurements of each angle?

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

the stated ratio means that of the 180 degrees involving two supplementary angles, the smaller angle is one sixth of that whole. Thus the smaller angle measures 30 degrees & the larger measures 150 degrees.

Find the circumference of the circle with the given area A. Use 3.14 for TI

djverab [1.8K]

Area = r^2 * 3.14
87.9/3.14 = around 28
Square root of 28 = 5.3
The radius is 5.3
Circumference: diameter * 3.14
5.3 + 5.3 = 10.6
10.6 * 3.14 = 33.3
The circumference is 33.3
