Help with 10 please!

Alexus [3.1K]

Gabrielle is x years old.
Felicia is 6 years older.....so Felicia is x + 6
the mom is twice as old as felicia...so the mom is 2(x + 6)
the aunt is x years older then mom....so the aunt (tanya) is 2(x + 6) + x

so Tanya/s age is :
2(x + 6) + x =
2x + 12 + x =
13x + 12 <===

Can you help me with my math questions

GrogVix [38]

$p^2+2(7)p+7^2=(p+7)^2$

Justification:

Given: $p^2+14p+49$

Split the middle term;

$=p^2+7p+7p+49$

Factor:

$=p(p+7)+7(p+7)$

$=(p+7)(p+7)$

$=(p+7)^2$

QUESTION 3a

The given expression for the area of the rectangle is $36x^2-12x+1$ .

This is equal to the indicated area which is $289\;in^2$

This implies that

$36x^2-12x+1=289$

$\Rightarrow (6x-1)^2=289$

$\Rightarrow (6x-1)(6x-1)=289$

$\Rightarrow l=(6x-1),w=(6x-1)$

This implies that, the dimensions of the rectangle are equal;

Using the square root method, we obtain

$\Rightarrow (6x-1)=\pm \sqrt{289}$

$\Rightarrow (6x-1)=\pm 17$

$\Rightarrow 6x=1\pm 17$

$\Rightarrow 6x=18 \:or\:6x=-16$

$\Rightarrow x=3 \:or\:x=-\frac{2}{3}$

We discard the negative value.

The side length of this rectangle is

$\Rightarrow l=(6(3)-1)=17,w=6(3)-1=17$

QUESTION 3b

The given expression for the area of the rectangle is $25x^2-50x+25$ .

This is equal to the indicated area which is $1225\;in^2$

This implies that

$25x^2-50x+25=1225$

$25(x^2-2x+1)=1225$

$(5(x-1))^2=35^2$

$5(x-1)5(x-1)=49$

$\Rightarrow l=5(x-1),w=5(x-1)$

This implies that, the dimensions of the rectangle are equal;

Using the square root method, we obtain

$\Rightarrow 5(x-1)=\pm \sqrt{1225}$

$\Rightarrow 5(x-1)=\pm 35$

$\Rightarrow x=1\pm 7$

$\Rightarrow x=8 \:or\:x=-6$

We discard the negative value.

The side length of this rectangle is

$\Rightarrow l=5(8-1)=35,w=5(8-1)=35$

QUESTION 3c

The given expression for the area of the rectangle is $49x^2-56x+16$ .

This is equal to the indicated area which is $289\;in^2$

This implies that

$49x^2-56x+16=289$

$(7x-4)^2=289$

$(7x-4)(7x-4)=289$

$\Rightarrow l=(7x-4),w=(7x-4)$

Applying the laws of indices gives;

$(7x-4)^2=17^2$

This implies that;

$7x-4=17$

$7x=21$

$x=3in.$

The side length of this rectangle is

$\Rightarrow l=7(3)-4=17\:in.,w=7(3)-4=17\:in.$

Dont forget that the square is also a rectangle.
