5.5(7.5 + x)
Multiply 7.5 and x by 5.5.
41.25 + 5.5x
41.25 is the area of the blue part of the mural, and 5.5x is the area of the red part of the mural.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that you are given an isosceles right-angle triangle to solve, since each of its two acute angles measures 
. Then such means that the sides opposite to these acute angles (the so called "legs" of this right angle triangle) must also be of the same length (x).
We can then use the Pythagorean theorem that relates the square of the hypotenuse to the addition of the squares of the triangles legs:
We use just the positive root, since we are looking for an actual length. then, the requested side is:
The person that factored the polynomial did one thing wrong -- they used minus signs when they should've used plus signs. We can figure this out because of the values of the quantities in the original trinomial. Since all of them are positive, we know that either there are two plus signs or that there is a minus and a plus sign with the value to the right of the plus sign being greater than the value to the right of the minus sign. But, that wouldn't work here, so the only thing wrong with this answer is that the plus signs should be minus signs.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute n for 3
A(n) = 3/2(-2)^(n-1)
A(3) = 3/2(-2)^(3-1)
A(3) = 3/2(-2)²
A(3) = 3/2(4)
A(3) = 12/2
A(3) = 6
